In this position, the Director, TM, will decisively contribute to accelerating the Immunology pipeline from portfolio entry to Proof-of-Concept (PoC). The Director, TM, will function as a clinical lead/study responsible physician on early development programs and trials. They will contribute to creating translational plans for programs that are aligned with overall TA strategy and with relevant disease area and/or pathway strategies. They will be empowered to lead a cross-functional clinical trial team to deliver on the trial’s major execution milestones within governance-approved timeline and budget commitments. This responsibility extends end to end for clinical trials: from initial protocol design to continued monitoring and problem solving on trial execution to the analysis, interpretation, and communication of study results.

TS has expertise in biomarker development, disease biology research, and in the application of immunology and data science technologies to support drug development. Organizationally, TSM serves as a pivotal bridge between Discovery Research and the later phase Clinical Development group. TSM provides the necessary scientific and clinical expertise to advance an industry-leading pipeline of novel mechanism small molecules and biologic agents to address unmet need in immune-mediated diseases. This position will play a ‘dual role’, contributing both scientific and clinical development expertise to TSM projects.
