Senior Director, Clinical Research & Development

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Director, Clinical Research & Development on the Clinical Development team to help us expand what’s possible for patients with serious diseases. Reporting to the Vice President, Disease Area Head, Respiratory, you’ll serve as a clinical leader responsible for supporting two primary activities. First, the role provides clinical evaluation of potential in-licensing or acquisition opportunities coordinated and led by Insmed’s Business Development organization. Second, the role supports cross-functional discussions with Insmed discovery research platforms as molecules advance beyond the Late Lead Optimization milestone. The disease areas supported may be guided, in part, by the physician’s clinical expertise; however, there is an expectation that the physician will possess sufficient breadth of experience to contribute meaningfully to initial evaluations across multiple disease areas, leveraging external medical experts as needed.

This is a remote role.

What You'll Do

• Provide clinical input into the overall assessment of external molecules as a member of Due Diligence teams.
• Contribute clinical input to cross-functional planning for molecules emerging from Insmed discovery platforms at the Late Lead Optimization stage.
• Serve, as needed, on transition teams for molecules that are in-licensed, acquired, or partnered.
• Have oversight of clinical execution, along with management of clinical development planning and external engagement.
• Maintain awareness of emerging science, competitive landscapes, and evolving global standards of care across relevant disease areas.

Who You Are

• MD, MD/PhD, PharmD or equivalent medical training, with board certification in an internal medicine specialty preferred.
• At least 7 years of clinical development experience in biotech or pharmaceutical settings, with meaningful drug development experience across modalities, including oral small molecules and biologics; experience with combination drug–device products preferred.
• Original NDA, MAA, and J-NDA experience.
• Demonstrated leadership in the design, execution, and interpretation of global Phase 1–2a clinical programs; experience with combination drug–device development and later-stage programs.
• Strong understanding of global regulatory pathways and expectations, including FDA, EMA, and PMDA.
• Proven ability to lead and influence effectively within cross-functional, matrixed organizations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage scientific, regulatory, and executive stakeholders.

Where You’ll Work

This is a fully remote role. It can be performed effectively from anywhere while staying connected to your Insmed team and community. Occasional travel for team meetings or events will be expected.

Travel Requirements

This role requires occasional domestic/international travel (up to 20%).
