Intelligence details
Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only if you already have several years of pharma, biotech, or CRO clinical development experience in immunology; clinicians without industry trial experience are unlikely to clear the director-level bar.
Who should apply
PharmD, PhD, or MSc-trained clinical scientists with immunology/inflammation trial experience; physician-scientists moving from academic immunology trials into industry; experienced CRO clinical scientists or medical monitors seeking a director step-up.
CV angle
Lead with immunology/inflammatory disease depth, then quantify industry-facing work: protocols authored, trials supported end-to-end, sites or CROs overseen, safety/medical monitoring responsibilities, data-review contributions, and any regulatory submission or inspection exposure. Frame clinical training as the scientific foundation, not the headline.
Skills to highlight
- Clinical trial design and protocol development
- Immunology and inflammatory disease expertise
- Medical monitoring and safety signal review
- Clinical data interpretation and biostatistics collaboration
- Cross-functional leadership (clinical ops, regulatory, safety, biostats)
- CRO and vendor oversight
- Regulatory submission support (IND/BLA/CTA)
- Scientific writing and publication support
Role summary
A director-level clinical development scientist position at Pfizer within Inflammation and Immunology, responsible for shaping and executing industry clinical programs — protocol design, study oversight, data and safety review, and regulatory-facing deliverables — on a non-physician (PhD/PharmD/MSc) track.
