• Represent Clinical Operations at the program or franchise level, and represent Nurix externally at professional events
• Anticipate risk across the trial portfolio and shape process or strategy to prevent issues before they surface
• Lead cross-functional strategic initiatives rather than simply participating in them

What You’ll Bring

• S./B.A. in biological sciences with 8-10+ years of relevant industry experience
• Ability to travel as required for the program (25%)
• Deep working knowledge of FDA, EMA, ICH, and GCP regulations and guidelines
• Proven experience managing global trials or multi-region programs

• Outstanding organizational skills, able to manage a portfolio of trials simultaneously
• Thrives in a fast‑paced, small‑company environment, adjusting priorities as needed
