This role will be located at one of our Global Research and Development strategic sites, in the US, Spain or Sweden.

These activities include the creation of overall clinical development plans and clinical study design as well writing protocols, key study and health authority documentation, medical monitoring and ensuring timely delivery of studies, all in close collaboration with relevant internal and external partners and clinical research organizations.
