Head of Clinical Operations | Australia A rare opportunity to become a key early hire in Australia for a well-funded, high-growth US life sciences company. This isn’t a traditional Clinical Operations role where you inherit an established team and manage everything through a CRO. We’re looking for someone who wants to get hands-on, take genuine sponsor-side ownership of Australian clinical studies, and help build the local clinical operation from the ground up.

The prospect:

Own Australian clinical studies end-to-end from the sponsor side

Lead HREC submissions, CTN/CTA pathways and Australian regulatory activities

Work hands-on with protocols, study design, endpoints and trial deliveryCollaborate directly with senior global scientific and clinical leadership

Gain exposure to FDA strategy and globally aligned clinical development

Work across decentralised trials, vendors, participants and study logistics





Become a key early hire with the prospect to build out the Australian team

Meaningful equity participation alongside a strong base salary

We’re particularly interested in people with:

Strong Australian sponsor-side clinical trial experience

Direct HREC and CTN/CTA experience

FDA / US regulatory exposure

A robust scientific, medical or pharmaceutical background

Experience operating in a smaller biotech, start-up or similarly hands-on workplace

This will suit someone who wants more than simply managing studies. There is genuine scope to own the Australian clinical program, influence how studies are designed and delivered, and ultimately build a team around you as the business grows.
