  • Contribute scientific expertise to regulatory submissions, Investigator Brochures, Clinical Study Reports, scientific publications, and other documentation supporting program progression.
  • Interpret and communicate translational research findings to cross-functional stakeholders and provide scientific recommendations that inform development decisions.
  • Supervise and mentor research scientists, including scientists within the internal Mechanistic Pharmacology Unit, ensuring delivery of high-quality research packages aligned with Therapeutic Area objectives.
  • Collaborate with internal and external scientific partners to advance strategic translational research initiatives and ensure successful project delivery.
  • Represent the Translational Research organization internally and externally, fostering scientific collaboration and maintaining strong relationships with key stakeholders.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
