Clinical Project Manager

A highly innovative, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical client of ours, operating at the forefront of immunology is seeking an experienced Clinical Project Manager / Clinical Engagement Lead to join their growing clinical development team. The organisation is advancing a differentiated pipeline targeting serious autoimmune and inflammatory conditions — including systemic those related immuno-rheumatological and dermatological disease areas — representing a significant area of unmet medical need.

This is a rare opportunity to join a science-led organisation at an exciting stage of clinical growth, working closely with leading academic and community investigators across the United States to advance a meaningful programme of clinical research.

ROLE SUMMARY

The Clinical Project Manager / Clinical Engagement Lead is a senior, field-based clinical development professional responsible for building and managing investigator and clinical site relationships across Brazil in support of the organisation's clinical trial portfolio. This role serves as the primary site-facing liaison between the organisation and its clinical investigators, academic medical centres, and research sites — supporting site identification, investigator engagement, and clinical trial execution across the immunology and inflammation therapeutic area.

The Clinical Project Manager / Clinical Engagement Lead combines deep knowledge of the therapeutic landscape with strong relationship management skills and a thorough understanding of clinical trial operations. This individual serves as a trusted partner to investigators and a critical field intelligence link back to internal Clinical Development and Medical Affairs teams. This is a highly visible, externally focused role requiring the ability to represent the organisation's science with authority, build lasting relationships with leading clinical researchers, and operate independently across a broad assigned geography.

• Develop and implement site engagement strategies to improve study start-up, enrolment performance, retention, and site satisfaction.
• Partner closely with investigators, study coordinators, and site staff to support patient identification and recruitment efforts, including guidance on diverse patient enrolment and community engagement.

Enrolment Performance & Field Intelligence

• Support clinical trial enrolment and retention at regional sites — working proactively with investigators and site staff to identify enrolment challenges, implement site-level solutions, and maintain site motivation and engagement across active studies.
• Monitor enrolment trends, site performance metrics, and patient engagement effectiveness using data-driven approaches; identify enrolment risks proactively and implement mitigation and recovery plans.
• Capture and communicate regional clinical landscape intelligence — including investigator perspectives, competitive trial activity, site capacity trends, and unmet medical need insights — back to Clinical Development, Medical Affairs, and Commercial teams in a structured, actionable manner.

External Representation

• Represent the organisation at clinical and scientific meetings, investigator symposia, disease-area conferences, and site visits — engaging with the clinical research community as a credible, know
