Novartis is seeking a senior professional to lead and oversee trial-vendor activities across Global Clinical Operations. The role typically involves selecting and managing external service providers, negotiating scopes and performance expectations, monitoring delivery, budgets, timelines and quality, and ensuring vendors comply with clinical, regulatory and company standards. Candidates are expected to have substantial experience in clinical trial operations, vendor or outsourcing management, and cross-functional work within the pharmaceutical or biotechnology sector. Strong communication, negotiation, stakeholder-management and problem-solving skills are essential, along with knowledge of GCP, clinical development processes and relevant regulations. The successful candidate should be comfortable working internationally, influencing without direct authority and managing complex programmes in a changing environment.
Novartis is a global medicines company headquartered in Switzerland, focused on discovering and developing innovative treatments for serious and often complex diseases. Its work spans areas such as oncology, immunology, neuroscience, cardiovascular-renal-metabolic conditions and other specialised therapies. The company operates research, manufacturing and commercial activities across many countries and employs teams in science, clinical development, technology, manufacturing and corporate functions. Novartis places strong emphasis on data, innovation, patient outcomes and collaboration with healthcare professionals, regulators and external partners. In the United Kingdom, it supports clinical research, market access, medical affairs and commercial operations, while working with the NHS and other healthcare stakeholders. Employees generally work in an international environment, with opportunities to contribute to large-scale clinical programmes and advance medicines from early research through to patient access.
The United Kingdom offers strong opportunities in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, healthcare, technology, finance and professional services, particularly around London, Cambridge, Oxford, Manchester and Scotland’s life-science hubs. Workplace culture is generally professional, collaborative and respectful of personal time, although multinational companies may operate across different time zones. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to quieter coastal and rural communities, with good public transport, historic towns, cultural events and extensive outdoor activities. International candidates normally need permission to work; eligible employers may sponsor a Skilled Worker visa, subject to salary, occupation and English-language requirements. Relocating involves arranging housing, healthcare access, banking, tax registration and, where applicable, school places. The UK has a temperate climate, relatively high housing costs in major cities and a National Health Service, although some immigration and healthcare charges may apply to visa holders.
