Responsibilities

• Defining and executing model‑based development strategies for oncology projects
• Planning, conducting and reporting exposure‑response analysis, simulation‑based trial design, dose selection, and population PK modelling
• Applying innovative methods such as drug‑disease modelling, longitudinal exposure‑response analysis, model‑based meta‑analysis, quantitative systems pharmacology and AI/ML‑informed analyses to enhance data use and trial efficiency
• Presenting strategy and defending outcome of model‑based approaches to internal governance boards and regulatory agencies
• Contributing to clinical program design, trial protocols, analysis plans, study reports and regulatory submissions
• Write or review clinical pharmacology components of regulatory documents and responses to facilitate rapid and efficient product approval with optimum labelling (regarding the clinical pharmacology, modelling and simulation content)
• Implement best practices, trends and lessons learned from internal and external sources to further CPMS contributions to the R&D pipeline
• Interact with line and middle management, staff and external contacts on a functional, strategic and tactical level
• Promote model‑informed drug discovery and development through external collaboration, journal publication and conference presentation
• Work across matrix teams to innovate in methodologies, design efficiencies and create value

Basic Qualifications

• A PhD in Quantitative Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacometrics or a related Life Sciences discipline, with experience in using modelling/simulation to solve practical problems in industry or academia. A PharmD or Master’s degree with an additional 4 years of relevant experience may be considered.
• 5+ years of experience in mechanistic PK/PD and longitudinal disease modelling; and verifiable proficiency in pharmacometric tools such as NONMEM or R.
• 3+ years of experience planning, performing, and reporting analysis of clinical data per industry and regulatory standards.
• Expertise in applications of AI/ML in Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometric analyses with innovative methodologies and efficiency applications.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong drive and learning agility to build knowledge on a drug‑disease system, symptom progression, standard of care, and trial design.
• Knowledge of or ability to quickly learn the mechanism, endpoints, progression and treatments of cancers.
• Ability to keep up‑to‑date with and propose the implementation of new modelling approaches to inform drug development.
• Demonstrated aptitude for productive collaboration in a multi‑discipline team, using effective communication and taking personal accountability for timely delivery of results.
• Clear evidence of ability to make sound judgement in complex situations and adapt to changing business needs by prioritizing multiple tasks.
• Experience in the design, analysis, interpretation and reporting of Clinical Pharmacology studies per industry and regulatory standards.
• Passion for quantitative clinical pharmacology and desire to innovate for better outcome.
• Prior experience in Oncology Research and Development is a plus.
• Experience working with senior stakeholders in a cross‑functional environment.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with strong oral/written communication and presentation skills.
• Strong track record of implementation of Model‑Informed Drug Development approaches to accelerate patient access to novel therapies and expand therapeutic indications of marketed drugs.
