Job description
Internal job title: Director
Location: London

Translational Medicine Discovery & Profiling (TMDP) is a group of physicians and clinical researchers who drive innovative science from discovery to the patient through the selection, profiling, and early clinical development of medicines. Medical directors oversee phase 1 first-in-human (FiH) and phase 2 proof-of-concept (PoC) and dose range finding (DRF) studies in support for Phase 3 development. Medical directors in translational medicine are key and highly visible members of global cross-functional project teams that design and implement early research and discovery projects. Medical directors in translational medicine collaborate with colleagues in biology and chemistry to identify targets in diseases with significant unmet medical needs and provide input on likely clinical development pathways, design clinical development plans in collaboration with late phase development, draft clinical trial protocols and serve as medical leads for these trials. As a Medical Director in Translational Medicine Gastroenterology, you will report to the TM Head.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead global clinical trial teams through phase 1 and 2 development
  • Draft the early clinical development plan
  • Act as medical lead for early clinical studies
  • Represent the team in relevant decision boards
  • Serve a primary contact for internal and external key opinion leaders
  • Oversee publication and internal/external presentation of clinical study results
  • Work closely with biomarker experts in implementation
  • Collaborate with research scientists to identify, develop and implement strategy for preclinical support of program related objectives
  • Actively participate in Health Authority interactions

Essential Requirements:
  • Medical doctor with board certification in gastroenterology.
  • Several years of clinical experience treating IBD (UC and CD) patients.
  • Ability to learn fast and work independently
  • Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams in a matrix organization.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills

Desirable Requirements:
  • Research experience (e.g., Ph.D.) is a plus but not a strict requirement
  • Drug development experience as trial investigator or pharma experience are a plus but not strict requirements.
  • Publications in the field of IBD are a plus but not a strict requirement
