Senior Project Lead
🍊Our mission
We're powering biology's century with radically faster, more reliable clinical trials. Every new treatment needs clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy, but today's infrastructure is stuck in the past- driving up cost, causing delays and ultimately meaning new treatments don’t get to patients. We're fundamentally changing that- not just being a "better CRO," but transforming how people think about developing new treatments, so patients can access breakthrough treatments faster.
Our impact speaks for itself: Since March 2021, we've powered 100+ clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients. We recently raised a $55M Series B from Balderton Capital, alongside backing from Creandum, Firstminute, Seedcamp, and Visionaries.
🍊What's it like to work here?
When you join us, you’ll experience:
High-Impact, Mission-Driven Work: Lindus Health is disrupting an outdated industry, giving you the chance to directly improve patients’ lives and see tangible results from your work.
Fast-Paced Growth & Ownership: We recognise hard work and outcomes over anything else. You’ll take on real responsibility, work across different areas, and actively shape the company’s success.
Collaborative, No-Ego Culture: Work with smart, driven people in a supportive and informal environment. At Lindus we break down silos, fun is a core value, and creativity is encouraged.
Ready to power biology's century? We'd love to hear from you.
About the Role
We're looking for a Project Lead II to take on our most complex and challenging trials while developing the next generation of clinical operations professionals. This is a significant step up from Project Lead I, combining end-to-end ownership of complex and/or multi-country trials with people leadership responsibilities. You'll serve as the Trial Champion responsible for all aspects of trial delivery while line-managing a small team of Project Associates and Patient Recruitment Coordinators.
You'll lead 1-2 complex trials with full accountability, serving as the main sponsor point of contact while demonstrating advanced problem-solving capabilities for unexpected trial challenges. This role requires the building of deep expertise with our proprietary platform Citrus and the ability to proactively anticipate challenges and implement contingency plans. You'll also contribute significantly to clinical operations process development, training, SOP creation, and support business development efforts where capacity allows.
