Jobbeschreibung

Your impact begins here

As Clinical Medical Manager, you will bring scientific insight into clinical trials from the first protocol outline to the last site visit. You will make sure the voices of patients and clinicians shape product development, and that investigators have a trusted medical expert to turn to. Working across diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular and kidney diseases, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), you will help trials run with higher quality and bring new treatments closer to people living with serious chronic diseases.

What You'll Bring

• A Bachelor's degree in medicine
• Relevant clinical experience as a specialist physician and/or experience in clinical or medical roles in the pharmaceutical industry. Newly qualified specialists in internal medicine, cardiology or other relevant specialties are also welcome to apply; prior pharmaceutical industry experience is not essential.
• Strong understanding of pharmaceutical drug development and the value chain.
• Strong business acumen, including an understanding of business operations, financial drivers and market dynamics, and an enterprise mindset that puts the organisation’s success first.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, presentation and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build and maintain strong relationships inside and outside Novo.
• The ability to solve complex problems creatively, find practical ways forward, and embrace change and continuous improvement.
• Willingness to use technology such as AI tools and a data-driven approach in your daily work.

Useful, But Not Essential

• A postgraduate qualification in a clinical or para-clinical stream.
• Expertise in diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, nephrology or gastroenterology.

What You'll Do

You will be the link between product development and clinical trial execution, making sure scientific insight reaches the people who run and shape each trial.

• Gather, analyse and act on scientific insights throughout the lifecycle of your assigned clinical trials, from protocol outline to trial execution, to improve outcomes.
• Act as the local subject matter expert on the product and protocol, discussing early clinical data with external experts during feasibility and quickly resolving medical queries from site staff.
• Engage investigators and key opinion leaders to refine trial methodology, address recruitment and retention challenges, and build long-term relationships.
• Provide early medical and scientific input into product development, reflecting the perspectives of clinicians and patients.
• Build Novo's presence in new and current therapy areas through scientific engagement in trials.
• Work with Therapy Area Leads to design and roll out scientific knowledge building on therapy area, product and protocol for Clinical Operations colleagues.

Who You'll Work With

You will join the Clinical Operations Turkey team where colleagues explore scientific ideas and advance them towards clinical testing. You will report to the Clinical Medical Manager Lead.

Your closest partners will be Clinical Operations and Medical & Scientific Affairs colleagues, along with fellow Clinical Medical Management teams across global, regional and affiliate levels. You will also work with Regulatory, Quality and Pharmacovigilance colleagues and Commercial teams in affiliates.

Externally, you will build trusted relationships with investigators, key opinion leaders, research institutions, healthcare professionals, ethics and research committees, health authorities, professional associations, patient organisations, research agencies and vendors.

This is primarily an office-based role in Istanbul, with scientific engagement at clinical sites and with investigators as needed. Your responsibilities will be assigned according to the locations of the clinical trial sites. You will bring different perspectives together, speak up when things stall and help teams move with clarity.

What You Can Expect Here

You will work in a team where your medical expertise is valued and your voice is heard. You will be trusted to take ownership, supported to perform at your best, and encouraged to stay curious and learn from the world outside Novo. Working across product development and trial execution, you will build new skills through hands-on experience and collaboration with colleagues across functions and regions.

Application deadline: 25 November 2026.

We commit to an inclusive recruitment process and equality of opportunity for all our job applicants.
