Acting as the clinical leader within cross‑functional program teams, you will define, execute, and deliver clinical strategies that maximize the value and success of early oncology assets. You will also contribute to the evaluation of novel assets and innovation initiatives, helping shape the next generation of oncology therapies.

* Build and maintain relationships with academic and industry partners, key opinion leaders, health authorities, and patient advocacy groups.
* Lead strategic initiatives supporting organizational excellence and innovation in early clinical development.
* Foster a culture of collaboration, empowerment, and accountability across self‑directed matrix teams.
Who You Are
* M.D. with at least 5 years of direct patient care and board certification in oncology/hematology or a closely related subspecialty.
* Proven scientific excellence demonstrated by peer‑reviewed publications or academic contributions.
* 3–5 years of drug development experience, including 2+ years in early‑phase clinical development.
* Broad expertise across varied therapeutic modalities, including small and large molecules.

* Ability to design and implement medical strategies independently and mentor others in doing so.
* Exceptional leadership, communication, and strategic thinking skills.
* Strong motivation, sense of ownership, and a proactive, solution‑oriented mindset.
