job summary:

The IRT Lead is a role within the Engagement function in IGOT that will serve as a strategic partner and single point of accountability to partner lines for protocol assessments, requirements elicitation, system deployments, and resupply settings guidance for company's IRT system developed with external vendors. The implementation of this role is intended to strengthen key interfaces within assigned therapeutic areas, streamline processes and increase agility.

The IRT Lead will be assigned when it is determined that an IRT system may be needed at the draft protocol stage. He or she will perform a preliminary protocol assessment with the Supply Chain Lead (SCL), Clinical Research Pharmacist (CRP) and clinical team members (e.g., clinician, biostatistician) to determine the most effective IRT strategy for clinical customer, investigator site, Global Clinical Supply, and ultimately for the patient. The IRT Lead will present the key preliminary requirements and IRT system recommendations to the IRT Protocol Assessment Group for final determination.

He or she will work to elicit additional protocol requirements from the clinical team, then partner with the IRT vendor to ensure the IRT system is programmed according to the protocol, test scripts are complete and accurate, and execute User Acceptance Testing (UAT) in order to successfully deploy the system into production.

The IRT Lead will serve as a member of the Clinical Supply Team and as the IGOT POC throughout the life of the study. For ongoing studies, he or she will also be available for guidance on IRT resupply settings and any requisite system amendments.

In addition to developing new IRT systems, the IRT Lead would be assigned ongoing studies that have come into company through an acquisition. He or she will work to integrate these studies to align with company standards and work within company's processes. This will include identifying IRT functionality and processes at the IRT vendor that need to be modified to align with company processes. The IRT Lead would be responsible for working with the vendor and study team to implement this system and/or procedural changes.

The IRT Lead will also partner with IGOT management for quality investigations, CAPA commitments and continuous improvements, SOP review and revision activities, support regulatory inspections, and limited duration teams where appropriate.

For this position candidates will need to be able to think outside of the box, have excellent communication and analytical thinking skills to successfully deliver optimal IRT solutions across a diverse and dynamic portfolio.
