The Senior Medical Director, Clinical Development will play a key role in the Cardiovascular/Metabolism clinical development program within the Regeneron Genetic Medicines portfolio, including responsibility for driving forward one or more CV/Met clinical programs. This role leads one or more clinical team working closely with key stakeholders , including pre-clinical research, Regeneron Genetics Center, regulatory affairs, clinical operations, and others. This role leads collaborations with discovery scientists and translational geneticist colleagues to understand current and emerging targets/genetic medicines programs, provides input on potential disease areas/indications, and crafts clinical experiments that corroborate or inform the biology for decision-making purposes and enable clinical development programs. This is an exciting opportunity to develop evolving Genetic Medicines modalities include RNA interference (RNAi), gene editing, viral vector gene delivery, and others.

A typical day in the life of a Senior Medical Director may include the following:
•    Leads clinical program(s) and acts as a clinical expert and leader in interactions with external stakeholders (e.g., regulatory authorities, key opinion leaders, advisory boards), internal stakeholders (e.g., Research, Regeneron Genetics Center, Regulatory Affairs, Global Clinical Development, Precision Medicine, HEOR), and internal decision committees.
•    Develops unique and innovative clinical strategies to significantly shorten the development cycle in the face of an evolving regulatory landscape. Designs and develops efficient and innovative Phase 1, 2, and 3 programs.
•    Works closely with the research and discovery teams to provide input on the next generation of targets in Cardiovascular/Metabolic diseases.
•    Ensures safety of the drug, including the safety aspects of patients in clinical studies and signal detection from post-marketing surveillance, with the support from Global Patient Safety.
•    Ensures quality of all clinical documents (e.g., investigators’ brochure, protocol, study report, clinical components of regulatory submissions, safety related documents).
•    Develops written responses to regulatory agency questions and prepares regulatory submission documents.
