About The Position

Enveda is hiring a Clinical Development Director to lead clinical studies for first-in-class oral medicines across indications, with a focus on immuno-inflammation, including inflammatory bowel disease. The role is designed to flex across indications as pipeline needs evolve. The director will report to the SVP of Clinical Development and work closely with Global Program Heads, Clinical Operations, and medical monitors. This is a high-impact role with the opportunity to influence a growing clinical studies program while collaborating with colleagues in an AI-forward environment. The clinical lead owns studies from protocol development through start-up, enrollment, and database lock. The director makes study-level design decisions, oversees clinical input into regulatory documents, uses clinical and operational data to guide decisions, and works with Clinical Operations to keep CROs, sites, and vendors accountable for timelines, enrollment, budgets, and data quality. The role also involves building relationships with investigators, sites, and key opinion leaders, applying AI in day-to-day work, and keeping the patient perspective central to consequential decisions.

Advanced degree: MD, DO, PhD, PharmD, or equivalent.
Hands-on clinical development experience, including primary authorship of protocols and leading at least one study from protocol through database lock.
Typically, 8 or more years of experience for a clinical scientist, or 3 or more years in industry after clinical training for a physician.
Data-driven judgment and ability to translate clinical, safety, and operational data into clear decisions and change course when warranted.
Willingness to learn or experience using AI to draft, check, and interrogate one's work, with awareness of ways AI can mislead.
