Job Description
JOB PURPOSE
As a Global Clinical Integration Lead, you will provide strategic project and programme management support for complex business development, integration, separation, and transition activities within Clinical Operations.
The role is focused on bringing structure and momentum to complex, high-priority initiatives. You will simplify complex work, develop clear roadmaps, coordinate activities across functions, and ensure priorities, risks, dependencies, and deliverables are actively managed.
You will work closely with senior stakeholders across Business Development, Clinical Operations, Clinical Development, and other relevant functions to ensure integration and separation activities are effectively planned and executed. You will represent Clinical Operations in high-level cross-functional discussions and help translate broader business objectives into clear, actionable deliverables.
You will lead and facilitate workshops, establish clear ownership and governance, coordinate cross-functional stakeholders, and, where required, directly lead the execution of selected initiatives. The role requires flexibility, strong judgement, and the ability to operate effectively in fast-moving and changing environments.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead sub-workstreams and/or discrete programmes of work relating to integration, separation, transition, and partnership opportunities.
- Develop and manage clear project roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, risks, and actions to ensure high-priority initiatives remain on track.
- Provide senior leadership visibility of integration priorities, key risks, impacts, decisions, and progress.
- Coordinate stakeholders across Clinical Operations, Business Development, Clinical Development, and other relevant functions to drive effective cross-functional execution.
- Facilitate workshops and working sessions to define transition plans, activities, ownership, and timelines.
- Establish and manage cross-functional working groups and governance forums, ensuring effective communication, alignment, and escalation.
- Support the development and implementation of processes, guidance, and written standards to improve consistency and efficiency across integration and post-deal activities.
- Partner with internal teams and external vendors/partners to establish transition strategies, agree on deliverables, and manage execution.
- Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks, issues, and dependencies, ensuring appropriate escalation and resolution.
- Lead or support issue management, CAPA development/response, and change control activities associated with integration and separation programmes, as required.
- Act as a subject matter expert for study delivery and integration/separation activities, contributing to broader Clinical Operations integration planning and execution.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in complex, high-visibility global integration programmes, helping teams navigate change, establish clear plans, and deliver critical business priorities. The successful candidate will be comfortable entering new environments quickly, building stakeholder relationships, creating structure from ambiguity, and driving execution across multiple functions.
