Associate Director, Clinical Science
: Job Details :

New York, New York; Salt Lake City, Utah

Your work will change lives. Including your own.Impact You'll Make

Recursion is at the forefront of reimagining drug discovery through the integration of automated cell biology, high-dimensional and diverse data sets, and sophisticated analytics. We are seeking a Director level Clinical Scientist who can oversee all clinical aspects of a clinical trial(s). This would include: planning and authoring of clinical deliverables (protocols, amendments, medical monitoring plans, annual reports, study-specific updates, CSRs), routine medical monitoring, site interaction / correspondence re: patient eligibility and treatment inquiries, and presentations both internal and external. As an Associate Director within Clinical Science, you'll play a critical role ensuring study protocols are executed appropriately and that the study data is both appropriate and pristine. On a daily basis, you will interact cross-functionally with multiple disciplines supporting the Study Team (Clinical Operations, Medical Director, CMC, Data Management, CROs, CRAs, Investigative Sites, etc). You'll be responsible for reviewing and cleaning / querying pertinent data points, identifying trends or inconsistencies with the data, and serving as the face of the study to Investigative Sites. You can expect to work on multiple early-phase projects at the same time in a fast-paced and exciting environment where the ability to multi-task and rapidly re-organize thoughts and priorities will be essential.

• Create – Serve as the authoring lead on multiple clinical documents. Recursion is moving away from the use of Medical Writers and relying more heavily on the Clinical Scientist and Medical Director to author IND and study specific documents. While this will not refer to manuals it does encompass Clinical documents and site / agency interactions.
• Collaborate - Work with highly dynamic teams where your role will range from leading and owning decisions or timelines to being a key contributor whose experience and insight are relied upon to advance the task at hand.
• Drive & Deliver – You will be primarily responsible for the quality of your study data. This will include reviewing (Medical Monitoring); issuing, reviewing, and closing queries; reviewing TLFs, summarizing data throughout the trial, and presenting the data to management when requested. You will also be required to present the protocol procedures and Site Initiation Visits both in-person and virtually.
• Prioritize – Given the nature of Recursion, you will be required to support multiple early phase (1-2) studies simultaneously. This will require time management and organizational skills.

The Team You'll Join

Reporting to the Vice President, Clinical Science, you'll be joining the Clinical Science Team within Clinical Development. This group is ultimately responsible for shepherding an experimental drug from IND through Dose Finding, Proof of Concept, and possibly Registration studies. Clinical Science consists of a high performing Team of extremely motivated individuals who work independently, interact cross-functionally with many contributing departments, and are capable of multi-tasking to expeditiously execute cutting edge clinical trials.

The Experience You'll Need

• 5+ years as a Clinical Scientist in a pharmaceutical or biotech company
• Prior experience in early phase 1-2 oncology studies is required.
• Experience with hematologic malignancies is preferred.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills (both spoken and written) – with ability to effectively communicate on project planning, progress, tracking etc.
• Strong relationship building skills to work effectively with others in various disciplines and levels
• Proven ability to manage multiple, complex, and competing priorities to effective and efficient conclusion
• Ability to operate strategically and tactically
• Proven ability in problem solving and issues management that is solution focused

The Values We Hope You Share

• We act boldly with integrity. We are unconstrained in our thinking, take calculated risks, and push boundaries, but never at the expense of ethics, science, or trust.
• We care deeply and engage directly. Caring means holding a deep sense of responsibility and respect - showing up, speaking honestly, and taking action.

• We move with urgency because patients are waiting. Speed isn't about rushing but about moving the needle every day.
