Job Description

Your impact begins here

As Clinical Medical Manager, you will bring scientific and medical expertise to clinical trials in Brazil, so new treatments can move forward with the right insight from the start. You will work with investigators, key opinion leaders and Clinical Operations to plan and run trials well, and to bring the voice of patients and clinicians into product development. Your work will strengthen trial delivery and support progress for people living with serious chronic diseases.

What you’ll bring

• A medical degree (MD) is required.
• Solid experience in clinical or medical roles in the pharmaceutical industry, or in clinical research as an investigator. Experience in both is equally welcome.
• Strong understanding of pharmaceutical drug development and the value chain.
• Strong knowledge of ICH-GCP guidelines, regulatory requirements and clinical trial methodology.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, presentation and stakeholder management skills.
• The ability to build and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including key opinion leaders and investigators.
• Business acumen and an enterprise mindset: you put the organisation’s success ahead of your own interests and promote collaboration across functions.
• The ability to solve complex problems creatively, identify opportunities to improve and embrace change.
• Willingness to use technology such as AI tools and a data-driven approach in your daily work.

What you’ll do

You will be the local scientific and medical voice for assigned clinical trials, helping them start well, recruit and retain patients, and deliver results.

• Partner with Clinical Operations Therapy Area Leads and Trial Managers on the scientific and medical aspects of trial planning, start-up, recruitment and retention.
• Gather and analyse insights throughout the lifecycle of your trials, and turn them into action on protocols, site selection, country allocation and trial performance.
• Select National Leaders and engage investigators and key opinion leaders to improve trial methods, address recruitment challenges and build long-term relationships.
• Act as the local expert on the product and protocol: prepare investigators and site staff before first patient first visit, discuss early clinical data with external experts and resolve medical queries quickly.
• 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 by sharing our pipeline and scientific story, mapping clinical care pathways, and strengthening knowledge in Clinical Operations and Medical Affairs teams.

Who you’ll work with

You will join the Clinical Medical Management (CMM) team, part of Clinical Trials, reporting to the CMM National Lead. Your responsibility covers all of Brazil. The team connects scientific and medical insight with clinical trial planning and delivery, working side by side with Clinical Operations and Medical and Scientific Affairs to bring early therapy area development and trial excellence together.

Your closest partners will be Clinical Operations colleagues in the Clinical Development Centre, affiliates and regions, and Medical and Scientific Affairs colleagues. You will also work with Regulatory, Quality and Pharmacovigilance, Commercial, Communication, and Market Access and Public Affairs teams in the affiliate.

Externally, you will engage key opinion leaders, investigators, healthcare professionals, research institutions, ethics and research committees, health authorities, professional associations, patient organisations, research agencies and vendors. Together, you will create clarity on priorities and move trials forward at pace.

What you can expect here

You will work in a role where your medical and scientific expertise is valued and your voice shapes decisions on trials and early product development.

You will build new skills through close collaboration with Clinical Operations, Medical Affairs and regional and global colleagues, and grow together with your colleagues on the job and through relevant learning offerings.
