In this position, you will become a critical member of the clinical development team to progress the rare disease project being developed for the treatment of a rare ectopic calcification disease PXE.

In partnership with the global clinical leader, clinical operation lead, and in collaboration with external partners, you will serve as the Physician Scientist to lead the DS study team and the CRO operation team to successfully implement a project-critical Phase 2 trial. This critical path trial is designed to confirm the safety and tolerability and dose range finding in the target PXE population in preparation for a subsequent pivotal trial.

Beyond the roles and responsibilities in individual clinical trials, you will assist the global clinical leader and contribute to the progression of this global project. The opportunities in the key roles include clinical development strategy, regulatory interaction, key investigator/leader engagement, collaboration with patient advocacy groups, establishment and management of Scientific Advisory Board and Safety Monitoring Committee, while working closely with key members of the project team members, and external subject matter experts.

  • Drug Dev Experience: Three years or more of hand-on experience in leading clinical studies and clinical development programs as a demonstrated leader from clinical/clinical development department in pharmaceutical or biotech companies
  • Common sense. Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work and lead in cross-functional and cross-culture team settings
  • Detail oriented yet think strategically to problem solve and drive progress
