About the Role
Reporting to the Executive Director of Program Management, the Senior Director of Program Management will be responsible and accountable for the coordination and leadership of activities associated with advancing novel Neurology and Other Rare Disease gene therapy programs through late-stage clinical development, regulatory approval, and into commercial launch. While the primary focus of this role is late-stage development — spanning pivotal trials, regulatory submission, and launch readiness — the individual may also provide program management support to earlier-stage programs within the gene therapy portfolio as needs evolve.
The Sr. Director of Program Management will serve as the operational COO for the Global Program Team (GPT), utilizing best-in-class program management capabilities to provide end-to-end oversight of program strategy and execution — including initiating, planning, executing, controlling, reporting, and closing integrated Program and Functional development plans across the Neurology and Rare Disease therapeutic area.
As a senior operational leader, the Sr. Director of PM will provide cross-functional operational and program management leadership, strategic thinking, and business acumen for late-stage gene therapy programs in a matrixed R&D organization. This individual will bring a commercialization mindset to development planning, ensuring that regulatory strategy, market access, and launch readiness are integrated into the program from the outset of late-stage development.
Additionally, the Sr. Director of PM will work with the PM team and global organization to design and refine processes and business structures, recommending solutions that drive process standardization and simplification across the company.
** This role will ideally be filled with someone local to our San Diego Office or located on the west coast. Candidates in other locations will be considered if willing to travel as needed.
