Director: Global Development Lead

Director, Global Development Lead Late Stage Oncology / Radiopharma

I'm partnering with a fast‑growing, clinical‑stage biotech developing next‑generation radiopharmaceutical and biologic therapies. We're seeking a Director‑level Global Development Lead to drive one of the company's most important and highly resourced programs, a late‑stage asset entering global Phase 3 development.

This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact leadership opportunity for someone who thrives in both strategy and execution and who can hit the ground running from day one.

What You'll Own

  • Serve as the Global Development Lead for a major late‑stage oncology program, shaping strategy and ensuring seamless execution across all development functions.
  • Drive the successful advancement of the asset through Phase 3 and toward registration and commercialization.
  • Lead global development planning across US, Japan, China, Latin America, and additional regions.
  • Partner cross‑functionally with Clinical Operations, Regulatory, CMC, Commercial, Safety, and Program Leadership to ensure timelines, budgets, and deliverables track to plan.
  • Represent the program to senior leadership with clear, proactive communication.
  • Anticipate challenges and remove obstacles to maintain program velocity.

What You Bring

✔ Proven track record advancing therapies from early development through late‑stage clinical trials, ideally all the way to product launch.
✔ Hands‑on leadership of global Phase 3 trials, including multiple major regions (US + OUS).
✔ Ability to step in immediately, navigate complexity, and drive execution with confidence.
✔ Strength in both strategic leadership and operational oversight; you can zoom out and dive in.

Ideal Experience

  • Radiopharmaceuticals
  • Biologics
  • Prostate cancer / oncology
  • Previous leadership of a global Phase 3 oncology or radiopharma program

Why This Role Stands Out

  • You will lead the company's largest and most strategically important program.
  • Exceptional visibility with executive leadership and the board.
  • A chance to shape the future of a rapidly advancing oncology pipeline.
  • Competitive compensation package with meaningful equity.
