Posted on by PRN | Leave a comment

A recruiting firm is seeking to identify a Clinical Oncologist for an unusual career opportunity as ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT, ONCOLOGY DISEASE MANAGEMENT, with an extensive reporting staff and considerable responsibility. 

Additionally, the frm is seeking to identify a SENIOR DIRECTOR, CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT, ONCOLOGY, for a rapidly evolving Pharma/Biotech Client. He/She should have 3-5 years of Pharma or Biotech working knowledge with a more limited scope of operation than the A.V.P.

The ideal Associate Vice President Physician candidate should have at least 10 years of direct experience related to the clinical development and approval of human therapeutics. This experience could emanate from either the Biopharmaceutical industry or clinical trials management in oncology within an academic medical center.  The successful candidate must have designed, executed, monitored and managed clinical trials (Phases I-III) and have also shown that she/he can take necessary, appropriate and timely actions to change course, if indicated.

He/She would have demonstrated ability to identify unmet clinical needs, evaluate product opportunities from a clinical perspective, and develop clinical research, regulatory and quality strategies that lead to the efficient development of such opportunities.

Candidates for the A.V.P. or Senior Director position should have a solid understanding of the regulatory requirements for registration of new oncology drugs, new formulations and new indications, with a record of active participation in the preparation of regulatory submissions.

They should have experience building and managing collaborations, networks and teams inside and outside of an organization.

The ideal candidates will be American Board Certified Medical Oncologists, but all individuals with significant oncology therapeutics development experience will be considered.

Any referral should possess effective communication skills on one-on-one and in groups. The successful Physician would be persuasive, articulate and able to distill complex information into clear, concise concepts.

Candidates should have a collaborative style, with an ability to build consensus among both internal and external constituents.

The ideal candidates would be creative and insightful, particularly in the design of clinical studies. He/She should have the ability to apply such creativity with an understanding and knowledge of business outcomes to the design of clinical studies.

If you are interested in either of these positions, please send your contact information, CV, and position preference to info (at) prnresource.com and we will pass it along to the recruiter working with the client.
