Position Summary
The purpose of the Global Monitoring & Site Engagement – Sr Director of Portfolio Execution – (Oncology) is to serve as the single accountable leader for therapeutic area execution within GMASE, translating R&D and therapeutic strategy into predictable, high-quality clinical delivery at scale.
