About The Position
The Innovative Health (IH) Organization has been created to drive meaningful impact to participant health and wellbeing by reinventing the clinical trial experience. The IH organization connects teams across development to novel capabilities and solutions, unleashing the potential of innovation to drive broader access to innovative medicines, and enriching the healthcare experience for all. The IH team is seeking a highly motivated co-op to support both the Discovery and Delivery functions within Innovative Health. This internship provides a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience at the intersection of clinical research, innovation, strategy, and project execution. The co-op will work alongside Innovation Managers and Discovery Leads to help identify unmet business needs, evaluate emerging technologies and solutions, support innovation demonstration projects, and contribute to initiatives designed to improve patient, site, and trial experiences. The role offers exposure to the full innovation lifecycle, from identifying opportunities and scouting solutions to supporting pilot execution and evaluating outcomes. The IH department reports into Global Development’s (GD) Business Growth, Innovation and Advocacy (BGIA) department and is dedicated to driving innovation into the clinical operating model to make clinical development faster and better for patients, investigators, Johnson & Johnson, and the industry at large. IH’s approach is to learn through doing: we design and conduct innovation projects that generate knowledge about novel operational models, methods and solutions. Once proven valuable and feasible, we embed new operational approaches and technologies into Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicines R&D with the goals of improving patient and site experiences, expediting drug development, and reducing overall costs. Our success comes by way of our entrepreneurial culture and teamwork.
