Senior Director Clinical Pharmacology

We are exclusively partnered with a global CDMO that, after recent investment, is going through an exceptional period of transition due to increasing customer demand.

As part of this transition we have been supporting the supply chain and procurement teams expand, with experienced professionals who have the capability and desire to manage this change.

This new hire is for a Lead Buyer. A critical role that will be responsible for hands on procurement and purchasing activities, as well as taking a lead on managing both internal and external relationships. As part of a small team, this role will take on a more senior role in managing expectations and driving progress to ensure that customer demand is met.

This is an outstanding opportunity for career development, as you will have a significant opportunity to influence and own process changes. As the business continues to expand over the next 12 months, this position needs to be integral to how this gets shaped.

This role has the potential to be hybrid, with two days working from home.

 

Key experience:

• Established experienced in purchasing/procurement activities within an FMCG environment
• Experience within pharmaceuticals, healthcare or food manufacturing is a strong advantage
• Must have experience within manufacturing procurement
• Experience of managing and experiencing change within an operational setting
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills

I’m supporting a major biopharmaceutical company that is building out its Quantitative Clinical Pharmacology capability and looking for an experienced Pharmacometrics & AI/ML Lead. This is a strategic role for someone eager to push the boundaries of model‑informed and machine‑learning driven drug development.

This position is perfect for someone who thrives at the intersection of advanced pharmacometrics, AI/ML innovation and clinical strategy. You will lead the vision and execution of AI‑enabled modelling approaches across the organisation’s development portfolio.

 

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will drive and deliver:

• A robust AI/ML and Pharmacometrics strategy to guide dose optimisation, extrapolation, study design and regulatory planning.
• Application and evaluation of emerging technologies relevant to quantitative clinical pharmacology.
• Hands‑on delivery of AI/ML models, population PK/PD analyses, exposure–response modelling, and clinical trial simulations.
• High‑quality documentation including regulatory‑ready analysis plans and reports.
• Management of external vendors and the opportunity to internalise and grow AI/ML and PMx capabilities.
• Scientific and technical development of team members in modern PMx and AI‑driven modelling approaches.
• Engagement with global regulatory agencies, including contribution to discussions across therapy areas.
• Close collaboration with project leads to ensure seamless integration of modelling outputs.

 

We are looking for candidates with:

• PhD or MD in pharmaceutical sciences, engineering, statistics or a related field.
• 5+ years of industry experience in pharmacometrics, including significant hands-on AI/ML application in drug development.
• Strong background in population PK/PD, disease progression modelling, and simulation-based decision support.
• Technical skills in R, Python, Matlab, NONMEM or equivalent PMx software environments.

I’m supporting a biopharma organisation looking to hire an experienced leader to head up a team focused on advanced PK/PD modelling and simulation sciences.

This role sits at the heart of R&D, shaping strategy and guiding key decisions across discovery and development.

 

What you’ll do:

• Lead and develop a team of quantitative scientists and pharmacometricians
• Drive modelling strategy across multiple programmes
• Work hands‑on on priority projects (popPK/PD, exposure–response, simulations)
• Develop high‑quality analysis plans and regulatory‑ready documentation
• Oversee external partners and support regulatory interactions
• Champion model‑informed drug development across the business

 

What you’ll need:

• PhD/MD in a quantitative or scientific discipline
• 8+ years’ experience in PK/PD modelling roles
• Line management or leadership experience
• Strong background in PK/PD, disease modelling, and simulations
• Expertise with tools such as NONMEM or R
• Familiarity with PBPK, QSP, Bayesian methods, and modern data‑driven approaches

I’m working with a global biopharma company seeking an accomplished PBPK Lead to strengthen their Quantitative Clinical Pharmacology (QCP) function. This is a strategic scientific leadership role for someone who wants to shape modelling strategy and influence decision‑making across an exciting development pipeline.

The successful candidate will take ownership of the end‑to‑end Pharmacometrics strategy, ensuring that modelling insights directly guide project direction and development milestones.

 

Key aspects of the role include:

• Setting the strategic direction for model‑informed drug development, driving decisions around dose selection, extrapolation, study design and paediatric planning.
• Delivering hands‑on PBPK, QSP and clinical simulation work across multiple assets.
• Converting complex model outputs into clear scientific recommendations for cross‑functional teams and senior stakeholders.
• Producing high‑quality, regulatory‑appropriate analysis plans, reports and documentation.
• Managing external vendors and supporting the build‑out of internal PMx capability.
• Coaching team members and championing state‑of‑the‑art mechanistic modelling approaches.

 

My client is looking for someone with:

• A PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Engineering, Statistics or a related modelling discipline.
• 5+ years of PBPK and QSP experience in the biotech/pharma sector.
• Strong practical skills in PK‑Sim®/MoBi®, SimCyp®, GastroPlus®, Matlab and R.
• Clear, confident communication skills and the ability to influence across multidisciplinary groups.
