AstraZeneca is a global, science-led, patient-focused biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of prescription medicines for some of the world’s most serious diseases. We are more than one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies.
AstraZeneca has a multifaceted environment that cultivates collaboration and innovation. We attract top minds, and we nurture and build talent.
Within Hematology R&D, we are committed to advancing the science to deliver life-changing medicines to patients most in need. With a combination-focused pipeline that exploits the power of six scientific platforms (Immuno-Oncology, Tumor Drivers and Resistance, DNA Damage Response, Antibody-drug Conjugates, Cell Therapy and Epigenetics) to help address unmet clinical needs in a host of hematological cancers, we are motivated by a dedication to the scientific discovery and collaboration that will one day help eliminate cancer as a cause of death. This unit has responsibility for the value chain from discovery through to late-stage development, enabling rapid acceleration of promising early-stage assets and life-cycle management programs
The Hematology Research and Early Development (R&D) team has the accountability for all drug development activities in hematology research from first in man studies, all the way to late-stage trials leading to drug approval by regulatory agencies (Phase 1, 2 and 3 trials). The team strives to deliver compelling preclinical, clinical and translational data packages providing confidence in the dosing strategy, tolerability profile and therapeutic efficacy of our candidate drugs to support investment in late stage clinical development, leading to drug approval.
We are looking for a highly qualified Global Clinical Program Lead (GCPL) candidate to lead the clinical development and execution of the product strategy for multiple projects. This individual will be accountable for the strategic clinical development plan and clinical execution of the compounds and reports to the Global Clinical Head (GCH) of the disease indication. The individual will articulate the project goals, strategy and the underlying science and clinical need to internal and external audiences with clarity and credibility.
In this role the candidate will work with other project leaders, scientific and clinical leaders as well as external experts to coordinated integrated project plans which can be delivered across functional boundaries. The candidate will ensure that diverse views within the team are heard and that a strongly empowered and motivated team is created, and will demonstrate highly visible leadership within the oncology community, both within AZ and externally. The successful candidate will have hematology/oncology clinical drug development experience, demonstrated leadership, and be able to critically navigate the science that underlies these programs. The candidate should be able to effectively communicate across a broad range of audiences and have an ability to clearly articulate project specific strategies as well as the overall oncology strategy.
