About this role
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, budget, quality, and on-time delivery of assigned clinical trials. This role represents the evolution of the Global Trial Leader (GTL) with stronger emphasis on strategic leadership, end-to-end accountability, and governance-level decision making. The TDL partners with the Program Delivery Leader (PDL) and co-leads the Cross-Functional Trial Team (CFTT) to ensure strategies align with program objectives and are executed efficiently.
What You'll Do
- Co-lead the Cross-Functional Trial Team (CFTT), setting meeting cadence, agendas, expectations, and driving cross-functional alignment.
- Coordinate functional strategies (e.g., trial endpoints, ARBM, biomarkers, DEICT, digital health, companion diagnostics).
- Ensure timely delivery of trial-level deliverables and manage trial-level budget, 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 them through risk management.
- Empower CFTT members to independently drive their functional deliverables while maintaining accountability for timelines and quality.
- Partner with the PDL to shape trial-level strategy in alignment with overall program strategy.
- Provide budget management and oversight at the trial level, including scenario planning and cost optimization.
- Early operational input during initial protocol development and development of cost-optimized and accelerated scenarios and innovative approaches, aligned with trial tiering (post-POC).
What We're Looking For
- Experience leading trial delivery with end-to-end accountability and governance-level decision making, partnering with program leadership.
- Ability to co-lead cross-functional teams, drive alignment, and ensure on-time delivery, quality, and budget management.
- Strong capability in budget ownership, scenario planning, and cost optimization for trials.
- Knowledge of trial endpoints, biomarkers, digital health, ARBM, DEICT, and companion diagnostics (as function strategies).
- Excellent stakeholder management and strategic thinking to align trial-level strategies with program objectives across multiple locations.
