## About the role

We are seeking a Director, Clinical Operations Program Lead to own the operational strategy and end-to-end execution of our clinical programs.

- Bachelor's degree in a scientific, nursing, or related field (advanced degree a plus)
- 10+ years of clinical operations experience in biotech, pharma, or CRO settings, including demonstrated program-level strategic leadership

- Direct experience in oncology drug development
- Experience owning and managing large external study budgets
