About the role

🍊Our mission Great science regularly stalls in the clinic, not because the science is wrong, but because the company behind it lacks the capital, infrastructure, or focus to take it all the way through. Today’s clinical-stage biopharma model is broken, and as a result promising treatments never reach patients. Our mission is to fix this: we’re building the next generation of biopharma by in-licensing clinical-stage therapeutic assets and developing them through Lindus Health’s integrated, technology-first clinical trial infrastructure. We’re a new initiative, but we’re building on a proven foundation - the same infrastructure that has delivered 82% of Lindus Health’s sponsor trials on or ahead of timeline, across 40+ completed trials across the US and Europe. We’re in-licensing 5-7 clinical-stage, typically Phase-2-ready assets, funded directly from Lindus Health’s balance sheet. We’re targeting deal close on our first assets through 2026, with first trials launching in H1 2027. 🍊About the role We're looking for an exceptional Senior Director of Clinical Operations to take personal ownership of the clinical delivery of one of our five in-licensed assets, running the trial from start-up through to close-out. You'll be accountable for that trial's clinical and regulatory execution, its quality, and its delivery on time and on budget, working closely day-to-day with the Clinical Program Manager running it and stepping in wherever a call needs to be made, whether that's on safety, protocol interpretation or trial methodology. Alongside your own asset, you'll bring that hands-on delivery experience to the wider portfolio, acting as a senior voice on our SOPs, quality bar and systems, and as a source of counsel for other trial teams. You'll collaborate closely with members across the business, including our Chief Medical Officer, our ClinOps team across five assets, our Director of Quality, and our Product team, and you'll report to our VP Operations. 🍊About you We'd like to hear from you if… - You have high agency and a bias for action - You are passionate and curious about our mission; changing how the healthcare industry operates and how new health treatments are developed - You want to learn what life is like at a high-growth, mission-driven, VC-funded startup You belong here! If your experience and interests match with some of the below, we want you to apply: - 15+ years in clinical operations, with genuine hands-on delivery across multiple Phase 2 drug trials. - Experience with complex neurology trials in chronic indications, ideally in Parkinson’s disease - Real, first-hand experience making clinical, quality and safety judgement calls in real time across a range of trials. - A track record of senior review and sign-off on essential trial documents - monitoring plans, RAMPs, protocol deviations, eTMF readiness. - A proportionate, risk-based approach to clinical oversight - you focus on what's actually risky, not on ticking every box. - A track record of contributing to or leading SOP and process design at a portfolio or function level, not just following processes someone else wrote. - Broad experience across trial types, phases and therapeutic areas, with the judgement to advise operators more junior than you without taking the decision away from them. - Comfortable shaping the tools you work in, not just using them - you've influenced how trial systems (EDC, CTMS, eTMF) get built, not only adapted to what's there. - Genuinely energised by a portfolio-wide authority role - shaping safety, process and clinical judgement across every asset - and equally happy to get hands-on running a trial of your own once you're ramped in. - Experience across multiple regulatory jurisdictions is a strong plus, with FDA preferred 🍊 What you'll focus on - Focus area 1: Clinical Operations Leadership on an Asset - Own the delivery of the trial for one of our assets - accountable for its clin
