Director Trial Strategy I Europe

At Trialbee, we're on a mission to make clinical trials more accessible, inclusive, and efficient — connecting patients to the research that could change their lives. As Director, Trial Strategy, you'll be at the heart of that mission — translating complex protocols, patient insights, and market realities into recruitment strategies that actually work.

This is a role for someone who thinks strategically and acts decisively. Someone who can read a protocol, understand the patient behind it, and build a plan that gets them to the trial. You'll bring deep therapeutic area expertise, sharp analytical instincts, and the ability to command a room — whether that's a client bid defense or a cross-functional planning session. You won't just advise on strategy. You'll own it.

This is a fully remote and globally connected role — we welcome candidates from across Europe.

This is how you will contribute

• Develop patient recruitment and retention strategies aligned with sponsor objectives and Trialbee's capabilities

• Evaluate protocols, patient populations, enrollment challenges, and competitive trial landscapes to identify risks and surface opportunities

• Assess the patient journey, standard-of-care pathways, and lived patient experience to build recruitment plans that are genuinely patient-centric and reduce barriers to participation

• Develop enrollment projections, patient funnel assumptions, and data-backed strategic recommendations

• Define and present multi-channel recruitment approaches — spanning EHR, digital, social media, community outreach, patient registries, and recruitment partners

• Lead client presentations, bid defenses, and strategic discussions as a credible, confident subject matter expert

• Collaborate with Business Development, Omnichannel Partners, Operations, Product, and Marketing to ensure strategies are operationally feasible and commercially competitive

• Contribute to Trialbee's therapeutic area expertise, strategic methodologies, and recruitment best practices

• Leverage AI-enabled technologies to sharpen research, analysis, and strategic planning — while owning the recommendations that come from them

Who we're looking for

• 5–7 years of experience in patient recruitment, patient engagement, feasibility, clinical trial strategy, or a related clinical research function

• A strong grasp of clinical development and patient recruitment methodologies, with experience building strategies across multiple therapeutic areas

• Demonstrated expertise in one or more of: Cardiometabolic, Oncology, Immunology, or Neurology/CNS — and the ability to rapidly build working knowledge in new indications

• Experience developing enrollment projections and patient funnel assumptions, and turning them into clear, defensible recommendations

• In-depth knowledge of GCP/ICH and applicable regulatory guidelines

• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, paired with the communication and presentation skills to bring stakeholders with you

• The confidence and credibility to lead strategic conversations with clients and internal leaders alike

• A collaborative mindset — you know that the best strategies are built with, not handed to, the teams who deliver them

• Comfort with AI-enabled tools and a genuine interest in how technology can elevate strategic thinking

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Life Sciences, Healthcare, Public Health, or a related discipline
