Responsibilities

• Country strategy and feasibility assessment
• Lead country selection strategy developing data-driven recommendations on country mix, site allocation, and enrollment distribution
• Oversee CRO completion of design and execution of feasibility assessments including protocol-specific feasibility questionnaires, competitive landscape and trial-density analyses, epidemiology and standard-of-care review, and regulatory and start-up timeline mapping by country.
• Pressure-test enrollment assumptions by triangulating internal performance data, external intelligence sources, and direct site and investigator input.
• Site identification and selection
• Build and maintain a curated, indication-specific site and investigator landscape across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, including academic centers, specialty networks, and high-performing private practices.
• Lead site identification and qualification, coordinating with CRO partners to run pre-study assessments and translating findings into transparent, criteria-based selection recommendations.
• Track and manage site performance history — enrollment rates, data quality, inspection and audit history, screen-failure patterns, and startup cycle times — and feed that history into future selection decisions.
• Data, intelligence, and reporting
• Maintain feasibility metrics and enrollment
• Present feasibility findings, trade-offs, and recommendations clearly— including where the data is thin and what assumption is carrying the risk.
• Cross-functional and vendor partnership
• Serve as the feasibility point of contact for assigned programs, partnering with study teams from concept through first-patient-in.
• Manage feasibility and site intelligence vendors and CRO feasibility teams — setting scope, holding quality and timeline standards, and reviewing deliverables critically.
• Partner with Patient Advocacy and Recruitment on patient-finding, referral pathway, and site-support strategies for indications where the eligible population is scarce or highly competed.
