Job Details

Are you seeking a career that makes a difference in the world?

As a Clinical Research Physician (CRP) in our Design Hub, you will play a key role in the development of global clinical trials by providing scientific, clinical, and therapeutic expertise and leadership. While the Design Hub's initial focus is on proof of concept and registration clinical studies, you may work on trials across early and/or late phases of development and commercialization of the product. You may also participate in the review process for protocols and publications, and as needed, work with regulatory and other governmental agencies. There will also be opportunities for you to join in activities such as outreach medical activities aimed at the external clinical customer community, the formation and implementation of the global strategy for the product, and various medical activities in support of demand realization.

  • Contribute to business unit and global alignment of portfolio clinical strategy and the associated asset-specific clinical plans.
Clinical Research/Trial Packages, Execution and Support

  • Participate in investigator identification and selection.
  • Support transition of protocols from design to execution.
Scientific Data Dissemination/Exchange
  • Provide knowledge of and compliance with local laws and regulations and global policies and procedures with respect to data dissemination and interactions with external health care professionals.
  • Establish and maintain appropriate collaborations and relationships with external authorities, professional societies, and the general medical community.

Scientific / Technical Expertise and Shared Learning
  • Critically read and evaluate medical literature. Know the status and data from competitive products. Keep updated with medical and other scientific developments.
  • Be aware of current trends and projections for clinical research, practice, and access in the therapeutic area(s).
  • Focus on organizational learning to identify standard methodologies, delivering these as systemized standard approaches with ultimate goal to make program and protocol design faster and less expensive. This will require cross-TA sharing within the hub and structured efforts to understand and benefit from our repeated, ongoing experiences.
  • Work closely with counterparts in other TAs to continue to evolve Lilly standards, tools and processes across development.
Other Responsibilities
