Requirements: extensive experience in CNS clinical development, particularly Alzheimer’s or neurodegenerative conditions; strong background in clinical pharmacology, biomarker-driven trials, and studies involving older or cognitively impaired adults; prior support of IND/CTA filings; proven leadership in sponsor-driven clinical operations; familiarity with PK/PD, model-informed drug development, and regulatory interactions. High-Value Details: early-phase Alzheimer’s program, biomarker integration, complex randomized/crossover designs, vendor management, and building scalable clinical processes. Work Setup: likely hybrid or onsite given the complexity and stakeholder collaboration, with an emphasis on fast-paced, high-ownership environment.
