[Hiring] Senior Director of Clinical Operations @Lindus

Role Description

We're looking for an exceptional Senior Director of Clinical Operations to take personal ownership of the clinical delivery of one of our five in-licensed assets, running the trial from start-up through to close-out.

• Accountable for the trial's clinical and regulatory execution, its quality, and its delivery on time and on budget.
• Work closely day-to-day with the Clinical Program Manager running the trial.
• Step in wherever a call needs to be made, whether that's on safety, protocol interpretation, or trial methodology.
• Bring hands-on delivery experience to the wider portfolio, acting as a senior voice on SOPs, quality bar, and systems.
• Collaborate closely with members across the business, including the Chief Medical Officer, ClinOps team, Director of Quality, and Product team.
• Report to the VP Operations.

Qualifications

• 15+ years in clinical operations, with genuine hands-on delivery across multiple Phase 2 drug trials.
• Experience with complex neurology trials in chronic indications, ideally in Parkinson’s disease.
• Real, first-hand experience making clinical, quality, and safety judgement calls in real time across a range of trials.
• A track record of senior review and sign-off on essential trial documents - monitoring plans, RAMPs, protocol deviations, eTMF readiness.
• A proportionate, risk-based approach to clinical oversight - focus on what's actually risky, not on ticking every box.
• A track record of contributing to or leading SOP and process design at a portfolio or function level.
• Broad experience across trial types, phases, and therapeutic areas, with the judgement to advise operators more junior than you.
• Comfortable shaping the tools you work in, influencing how trial systems (EDC, CTMS, eTMF) get built.
• Genuinely energized by a portfolio-wide authority role - shaping safety, process, and clinical judgement across every asset.
• Experience across multiple regulatory jurisdictions is a strong plus, with FDA preferred.

Requirements

• Own the delivery of the trial for one of our assets.
• Work closely with and line-manage the Clinical Program Manager running the trial day-to-day.
• Proactively spot and mitigate risks by contributing to the asset's clinical development plan.
• Build clinical operations and regulatory capability as we move into more complex, FDA-facing trials.
• Accountable for and input into ClinOps SOP and process design across the portfolio.
• Guide, mentor, and support professional development of the wider ClinOps team.
• Senior authority on operational and quality decisions and sign-off across every trial in the LTx portfolio.

Benefits

• Make an impact across all areas of our business and fix one of the world's most broken industries.
• Competitive salary, plus meaningful stock options.
• 27 days annual leave in addition to 11 National Holidays.
• Health insurance coverage through our PEO Trinet.
• $40 monthly wellness allowance for wellness activities of your choice.
• Enhanced Parental Leave: 16 weeks full pay for primary caregiver and 6 weeks full pay for secondary caregiver.
• $2,000 Learning and Development allowance each year for courses, certifications, and development.
• Regular whole company and team events, both in person and virtually.
• Access to gym and retail discounts through our benefits platform Happl.
• Monthly lunch voucher for our remote teams.
• Charity events and fundraising opportunities through our charity partnership with the Forward Trust.
