Director, Program Management

Operational Partnership & Team Effectiveness

• Operational Leadership: Act as the operational anchor for the Core Team. You are responsible for the team’s day-to-day functionality, ensuring that cross-functional workflows are clear, dependencies are managed, and the "machinery" of the program runs without friction.
• Meeting Governance & Rigor: Own the architecture of Core Team interactions. This involves more than scheduling; you will drive the agenda to ensure decision-making, personally capture and disseminate critical actions, and relentlessly follow up to ensure completion.
• Information Flow: Facilitate clear, accurate communication across sub-teams. You are responsible for ensuring that all functions are working from the same assumptions and that critical information—including sensitive or confidential updates—is shared with the right stakeholders at the right time.

Lifecycle Integration & Portfolio View

• Bridge to Commercialization: Operationalize the connection between the Development and Commercial organizations. You will create the forum for these functions to align, ensuring that launch readiness activities are fully integrated with the ongoing development lifecycle.
• Lifecycle Management: Support the Myostatin franchise beyond the initial launch. You will help the team manage the operational complexity of a "pipeline in a product," ensuring that near-term launch goals do not compromise future indications or lifecycle expansion.

Program Execution & Risk Management

• Scenario Planning: Partner with the Program Leader to convert strategic questions into operational scenarios. You will provide the feasibility assessments and data required to evaluate trade-offs and make informed business decisions.
• Proactive Risk Mitigation: Serve as the team’s early warning system. You will identify operational risks—particularly those in the "white space" between functions—and drive them to resolution before they impact the critical path.

Candidate Requirements

• Education: MS or BS Degree in a Scientific or related field.
• Experience: Minimum of 10 years of experience in pharmaceutical or biotechnology drug development, with specific experience transitioning a program from late-stage development (Phase 3/BLA) to commercial support.
• Hybrid Skillset: Must possess a working knowledge of both Regulatory milestones and Commercial launch dynamics. The ideal candidate has "lived in both worlds" and understands how program governance evolves post-filing.
• Professional Orientation: A low-ego, high-output mindset. You prioritize team success over hierarchy and demonstrate a willingness to own tasks of all sizes—from strategic planning to administrative execution—to ensure the program succeeds.
• Discretion: Demonstrated ability to handle confidential and potentially material information with professional judgment and integrity.
• Technical Proficiency: Expert proficiency in project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet, MS Project) is required to drive reporting standards and visibility.
