About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive/Senior Director of Clinical Development to provide scientific and medical leadership for clinical programs in neurological and neurodegenerative conditions. The role leads the strategic and operational execution of early-stage programs, while remaining able to support later-stage and emerging initiatives. Responsibilities include designing and overseeing clinical studies, developing integrated clinical development plans, guiding trial execution and safety oversight, and interpreting clinical data. The Director will collaborate with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders, contribute to regulatory submissions and health-authority interactions, and use clinical evidence to inform portfolio decisions. Candidates must hold an MD in neurology or psychiatry; board certification is preferred. They should have clinical or academic experience in neurological disorders and at least eight years of pharmaceutical industry experience, including development experience from early through late stages and successful proof-of-concept study design and implementation. Translational medicine expertise is highly desired, as are neuroscience regulatory submission experience and knowledge of US and EU guidelines. Strong communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, matrixed environment.
