Are you ready to turn cutting-edge cell therapy science into real-world trial performance and meaningful patient impact?

Non si lasci sfuggire questa opportunità: si candidi rapidamente se la sua esperienza e le sue competenze corrispondono a quanto descritto di seguito.

As the field-facing scientific and clinical expert, you will accelerate study execution and retention, sharpen safety practices, and enable early insight generation that shapes how we run our trials. Your work will translate complex protocols into practical, consistent actions across diverse sites and indications, driving measurable improvements in feasibility, start‑up, and conduct.

You will collaborate closely across functions to advance a bold pipeline with speed and quality, connecting therapeutic innovation to the day‑to‑day realities of study teams and trialists. Picture yourself guiding trialists through the cell therapy patient journey, elevating site performance, and transforming field insights into decisions that improve how we design, run, and scale studies. How would you turn evidence into action and help trial sites deliver with clarity and confidence?

Accountabilities

Cell Therapy Expertise: Build and continuously maintain deep knowledge across indications and assets; be the go‑to expert who shapes guidance, training, and best practices that raise execution quality and consistency.

Strategic Communication: Lead clear, compliant communications that convey strategy, portfolio breadth, and product differentiation; align messaging across regions to ensure consistency for assigned protocols and sites.

Site Readiness and Training: Support and deliver site initiation content and advanced protocol education; implement competency‑based training to drive readiness, shorten start‑up timelines, and improve protocol adherence.

Enrollment Optimization: Translate inclusion/exclusion criteria and patient flow into pragmatic site actions that raise enrolment rates, reduce screen failures, and minimize attrition.

Insight Generation and Continuous Improvement: Capture and synthesize field insights on feasibility, bottlenecks, and patient pathways; support protocol and process adjustments and drive preventive actions to reduce deviations and data queries.

Local Initiatives and Scaling: Co‑create and implement high‑impact local initiatives with trialists and key experts; track outcomes and scale successful approaches aligned to program priorities for broader impact.

Scientific Engagement and Governance: Facilitate timely, high‑quality scientific dialogues with investigators and internal partners; capture learnings and ensure governance compliance.

Cross‑Functional Coordination and Service: Coordinate with Clinical Operations, Clinical Development, Medical Affairs, Supply/Logistics, Patient Operations, and Country teams to provide rapid, reliable service to study sites;

Compliance and Regulations: Maintain current knowledge of local regulations, guidelines, and internal policies; translate requirements into site actions to support inspection readiness.

External Engagement and Innovation: Attend relevant scientific meetings; synthesize and share insights. Build relationships across the ecosystem to identify, pilot, and scale innovations that shorten cycle times, improve quality, and enhance site experience.

Country Strategy and Governance Alignment: Provide country‑specific field insights to priority initiatives; shape strategies and deliverables for scalable, locally compliant adoption. Partner with Medical Affairs on scientific plans and field content; coordinate within governance to reflect market dynamics, ensuring traceability from field signals to decisions and operating within policies and SOPs.

Essential Skills/Experience

Education: Bachelor’s degree in a health‑related field required; advanced degree (PharmD, PhD, MSc, NP/PA, MD/RN) preferred.
