Site Engagement and Advocacy Director Contract 1 FTE – United States

Location: Remote (U.S.-based) with 50%

Chloe O'Shea is collaborating with a U.S.-based, mid-sized biopharmaceutical company known for its bold science and commitment to patient-centric innovation across rare disease and specialty indications. With a deep pipeline and approved therapies in niche areas, this sponsor takes a strategic, relationship-driven approach to clinical trial execution and site partnership.

They are now seeking a Site Engagement and Advocacy Director to join on an initial 6-month contract (1 FTE), with potential to convert to a permanent role from January 2026. This is a unique opportunity to shape and elevate clinical trial site experience, build advocacy momentum, and improve enrollment performance across key programs.

The Role

As Site Engagement and Advocacy Director, you’ll act as a central strategic lead for clinical site relationships and patient advocacy initiatives. You will work across functions to amplify trial awareness, troubleshoot enrollment barriers, and represent the company with key site stakeholders. Your ability to “code switch” between scientific, operational, and external-facing discussions will be key.

This is a remote role with approximately 50% travel.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the primary liaison between the sponsor and clinical trial sites to enhance engagement and build lasting partnerships.
• Lead proactive strategies to drive awareness and enrollment, working cross-functionally with clinical ops, medical affairs, and patient advocacy.
• Represent the company in investigator and advocacy group meetings, adjusting communication styles to varied audiences.
• Identify and address site-level challenges in real time, supporting protocol execution and enrollment.
• Maintain visibility of the company’s clinical programs among the site and advocacy community.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure site and patient voices are integrated into trial design and operations.

Requirements

• Minimum 10 years of experience in clinical research, with strong strategic and external stakeholder-facing experience.
• At least 5 years in sponsor-side roles (CRO background welcome if balanced with sponsor-side leadership).
• Ability to lead high-level discussions with KOLs, investigators, and advocacy groups.
• Experience in Hematology, Ophthalmology, Nephrology, or Neurology is a significant advantage, but not essential.
• Skilled in navigating cross-functional teams and communicating across scientific and operational domains.
• Able to commit to a U.S.-based remote contract role with up to 50% domestic travel.

If you think you would be a good fit and have the relevant experience, then apply now or contact Chloe O’Shea directly to express interest and receive more details.
