Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only if you already have industry, CRO, or late-stage academic trial leadership experience in hepatology/GI and want a sponsor-side leadership track. Without prior clinical development exposure, the Associate Director bar is likely unrealistic as a first non-clinical move.
Who should apply
Hepatology or gastroenterology physicians with trial experience, physician-scientists who have served as investigators or medical monitors, and PharmDs/PhD scientists with CRO or pharma clinical operations backgrounds targeting sponsor-side development.
CV angle
Reframe real clinical work into trial language: lead with named studies you supported, protocol contributions, investigator site leadership, enrollment and data quality outcomes, safety signal review, and cross-functional work with regulatory, biostatistics, and safety teams. Quantify patient cohorts and study volumes, and position hepatology disease-area depth as the differentiator — do not claim industry titles or programs you did not hold.
Skills to highlight
- Hepatology/liver disease clinical expertise
- Clinical trial design and protocol development
- Medical monitoring and safety review
- Investigator and site engagement
- Regulatory submission support (IND/CTA/BLA)
- Cross-functional collaboration with biostatistics and pharmacovigilance
- KOL and advisory board engagement
Role summary
A sponsor-side pharma R&D leadership role at GSK overseeing hepatology clinical development programs — contributing to protocol design, medical monitoring, safety oversight, and regulatory strategy for liver disease trials, with heavy cross-functional coordination and no direct patient care.
