The Associate Director, Translational Medicine (TM), will be a program and experimental medicine leader in the Immunology Translational Science and Medicine (TSM) function. In this position, the Associate Director, TM, will decisively contribute to accelerating the Immunology pipeline from portfolio entry to Proof-of-Concept (PoC).
The Associate Director, TM, will function as a clinical lead/study responsible physician on early development programs and trials. They will contribute to creating translational plans for programs that are aligned with overall TA strategy and with relevant disease area and/or pathway strategies. They will be empowered to lead a cross-functional clinical trial team to deliver on the trial’s major execution milestones within governance-approved timeline and budget commitments. This responsibility extends end to end for clinical trials: from initial protocol design to continued monitoring and problem solving on trial execution to the analysis, interpretation, and communication of study results. This role will partner with translational science and deep engagement with investigators and external experts is expected. In this leadership role they will be supported by the senior leaders within the Translational Science and Medicine function, including the relevant disease area leaders (both in clinical development and biomarker science) and a clinical study responsible scientist.
