About the role

  • Own and drive global site engagement and patient recruitment strategy across late-phase respiratory clinical programs, including Phase II, Phase III, and Phase IV studies in asthma and COPD.
  • Lead the development and execution of study- and program-level investigator identification, enrollment strategies that improve site readiness, recruitment performance, retention, and overall trial execution.
  • Manage, coach, and develop a team of CTLs, setting clear expectations, building capabilities, and creating a high-performance, collaborative, and accountable team culture.
  • Partner with Clinical Operations, Clinical Development, Biometrics, CRO and vendor partners to remove operational barriers, improve the site experience, and deliver studies on time.
  • Serve as a senior escalation point for site engagement and enrollment challenges, working directly with internal teams, CROs, investigators, and study sites to resolve issues quickly and effectively.
  • Use study performance data, site intelligence, and real-world insights to identify high-performing sites and networks and continuously refine site selection, activation, and enrollment strategies.
  • Shape global and regional site engagement plans that reflect country- and region-specific considerations, patient pathways, standards of care, operational realities, and representativeness goals.
  • Build and sustain strong relationships with investigators, site staff, site networks, and key external partners to strengthen Generate’s reputation as a thoughtful, responsive, and high-value sponsor.
  • Guide CTLs and study teams in the delivery of protocol and study-specific training to site personnel, ensuring consistent communication, protocol understanding, and operational readiness.
  • Oversee site-facing recruitment and retention approaches, ensuring messaging, materials, and support plans are practical, compliant, and tailored to the realities of respiratory trial execution.
  • Translate site feedback into actionable recommendations for protocol execution, recruitment planning, visit burden, and operational improvements.
  • Contribute strategically to protocol and study planning by bringing forward site, investigator, and patient insights that improve feasibility and reduce barriers to participation.
  • Monitor enrollment and site performance trends across the respiratory portfolio, proactively identifying risks, intervention opportunities, and lessons learned to inform future studies.
