Global Trial Delivery Lead - Sponsor Dedicated

Job title: Global Trial Delivery Lead - Sponsor Dedicated

About the Role The Trial Delivery Leader (TDL) serves as the single point of accountability for trial operational strategy, trial-level budget, quality, and on-time delivery of assigned clinical trials. This role represents the evolution of the Global Trial Leader (GTL), with a stronger emphasis on strategic leadership, end-to-end accountability, and governance-level decision making. The TDL works in close partnership with the Program Delivery Leader (PDL) and co-leads the Cross-Functional Trial Team (CFTT) to ensure trial strategies are aligned with program objectives and executed efficiently. The Trial Delivery Leader plays a critical role in ensuring clinical trials are delivered efficiently, compliantly, and with high quality, while balancing speed, cost, and innovation. By serving as the single point of accountability, the TDL enables clearer decision making, stronger execution, and improved trial outcomes across the development portfolio.

What You'll Do

• Co-lead the Cross-Functional Trial Team (CFTT), setting meeting cadence, agendas, and expectations. Empower CFTT members to independently drive their functional deliverables while maintaining accountability for timelines and quality.
• Partner closely with the Program Delivery Leader (PDL) to shape trial-level strategy in alignment with the overall program strategy.
• Serve as the single point of accountability for on-time delivery, quality, and trial-level budget across assigned trials.
• Ensure timely delivery of trial-level deliverables; oversee trial milestones, quality targets, and budget commitments.
• Provide budget management and oversight at the trial level, including scenario planning and cost optimization.
• Review and approve key study-level documents (e.g., global master ICFs).
• Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate trial-level risks, overseeing trial-level risk management.
• Contribute early operational input during initial protocol development and develop cost-optimized and accelerated scenarios aligned with trial tiering (post-POC).

What We're Looking For

• Strategic leadership and execution oversight focused on end-to-end accountability and governance-level decision making for clinical trials.
• Experience developing and executing trial operational strategies, owning trial-level budgets, ensuring quality oversight and inspection readiness.
• Strong collaboration with PDL and cross-functional teams; proven ability to co-lead and drive cross-functional alignment (CFTT).
• Ability to develop and evaluate cost-optimized scenarios and innovative approaches aligned with trial tiering.
• Exceptional program management, risk identification, assessment, and mitigation skills; ability to balance speed, cost, and innovation.
• Track record of delivering trials efficiently, compliantly and with high quality in a complex development portfolio.
