Do you want to join a motivated, high-performing global development team, work within our strong portfolio, and make a difference for patients living with brain disease? Are you motivated by the opportunity to bring innovative treatments to patients- especially in rare indications where no treatments exist – and to help restore brain health worldwide? Are you enthusiastic about working with clinical trials in an international environment? If so, you could be our new Clinical Study (Senior) Manager.

Your new role  

You will be an essential part of our global Clinical Operations team, and as a Clinical Study (Senior) Manager, you will lead a cross-functional global trial management team comprising colleagues from relevant functions within Clinical Research & Development.

As the Clinical Study (Senior) Manager, you will serve as the primary point of contact for our vendors/CROs, ensuring the effective execution of our clinical trials. You will be responsible for vendor oversight and management, delivery of milestones in close collaboration with your Lundbeck colleagues, and high-quality trial execution within agreed timelines and budgets. As part of our continuous improvement efforts, you will also contribute to optimizing our clinical trial processes.

Approximately 20 travel days per year should be expected.

Your future team

You will join our team of more than 35 colleagues who take pride in cross-functional collaboration and share the aspiration to become world-class in trial execution.
