About the role

The External Research Opportunity Lead is responsible for the review and management of external research opportunities with healthcare stakeholders. You will manage research opportunities across territories and UCB's therapeutic areas, including neurology, immunology, and rare disease. While you do not need to be a subject matter expert in the therapeutic areas, sound knowledge of (clinical) research is desired.

You will work with internal and external stakeholders to ensure opportunities are assessed for their alignment with UCB evidence generation strategies, feasibility, and compliance with local and global laws and regulations. Once a study is endorsed, you will develop the research agreement, with careful consideration for the appropriate contracting terms and deliverables (e.g., intellectual property, ownership and use of study results, data privacy, data security, pharmacovigilance requirements, etc.) and coordinate with key internal experts where needed. You will be responsible for ongoing support of approved studies (e.g., provision of product, milestone tracking, study updates) and communicating updates to the relevant stakeholders.

Who you'll work with

This role is part of the Global Medical Affairs team and requires collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders from Medical Affairs, Legal, Ethics and Compliance, Patient Safety, and other functions. In addition, you will interface with the external research party, including investigators and contracting teams.

What you'll do

  • Drive the review and approval activities for external research opportunities, including investigator-initiated studies and research collaborations.
  • Lead review committee meetings for the review, endorsement, and management of studies.
  • Lead the development and negotiation of research agreements, with cross functional input (medical, clinical, legal, etc.).
  • Provide oversight on compliance to the terms of the contract and progress of the research according to the agreed milestones and facilitate the provision of drug supply where applicable.
  • Liaise with internal and external stakeholders to ensure timely communication of study progress and delays.
  • Contribute to the development and refinement of the External Research Opportunity framework, process and system to ensure a robust and compliant process for review and management of external research studies.

Interested? For this role we're looking for the following education, experience and skills

  • Master's degree (in the biomedical sciences or equivalent by experience).
  • 5+ years of experience within the Pharma/Biotech industry, Academia, Research Institutions or Contract Research Organizations (CRO).
  • 3+ experience in managing contracts and its lifecycle (from draft to execution) and partnership oversight.
  • Demonstrated understanding of the legal and regulatory guidelines associated with pharmaceutical industry research and associated fundings, and the ability to use knowledge to make sound operational decisions.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop trustful relationships with external and internal stakeholders, and leading cross-functional teams to accelerate delivery of qualitative and optimized outcome.
  • Proven skills in negotiation, influencing without authority, managing through ambiguity, and working diplomatically through conflict.
  • Able to work independently in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment on multiple projects efficiently.
