Director, One Cancer Clinical Research
Job Profile Title
Director E, Research, Clinical
Job Description Summary
Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center (ACC) seeks a full-time One Cancer Clinical Research Director to support the Associate Director for Clinical Research (ADCR) in realizing the “One Cancer Clinical Research” vision: to advance science and enhance the patient’s clinical trials experience by integrating research programs across Penn’s multiple entities. The Director is a key administrative officer in this domain, responsible for a variety of duties designed to ensure fiscal solvency, develop and foster relationships, exchange information, and advise and implement strategy. The Director reports to the ADCR and to the ACC Chief Operating Officer.
Job Description
Responsibilities include acting as the point-of-contact for cancer research programs and centers across Penn’s affiliate entities (i.e., CCH, HUP, LGH, PAH, PMPH, and PPMC) and serving as a link between programs to develop synergy. This includes functioning as a liaison between the ADCR and other faculty and staff (at all levels of Penn Medicine). It is important to note that communication is a substantial part of this role. The successful candidate will be present, visible, and available, and excel in leadership, mediation, consensus building, and goal-driven implementation.
Responsibilities also include expanding human subjects research by fostering productive interrelationships between Penn entities and partnering with senior faculty and administrative leaders to expand the reach of our world-class research programs, realizing the vision of a Cancer System and broadening patient access to cutting edge treatments. This includes 1) foundation and federal grants, 2) industry and investigator-sponsored contracts, 3) national cooperative group studies, and 4) non-interventional research studies. This involves working with research programs as well as the Cancer Service Line to identify research opportunities (single-location and multi-entity) that are reasonable and appropriate for each location and rendering an opinion on feasibility that considers faculty interest/expertise as well as location resources. This also involves shepherding (broadly) studies through all stages and connecting Penn entities with the ACC’s central and shared resources (e.g., finance, legal, regulatory, etc.) as needed.
Paramount to the role is to provide strategic management of the Cancer System, ensuring that the ACC’s central and shared resources are enriched, aligned, and strategically deployed to promote and incentivize efficient clinical research at all levels in accordance with the overall One Cancer Clinical Research vision. This involves assessing and evaluating strategic priorities, translating them to actionable plans, and collaborating with other ACC executive leaders to identify and manage any gaps in implementation. All work will be performed independently with minimal supervision or direction; some work-related responsibilities may occur outside of regular business hours. Work requires travel between offices and entities.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Minimum of Master’s degree and 7 to 10 years experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience required and progressively responsible experience including a minimum of five years managerial/leadership experience, or combination of education and relevant experience required. Candidate must have: (1) excellent leadership qualities, including the ability to motivate and earn the respect of other staff, (2) time-management, compassion, and problem-solving skills, (3) the ability to communicate instructions clearly and effectively, and (4) the energy and stamina required to supervise a number of activities, which requires ongoing movement. The incumbent is required to possess and maintain a valid driver’s license in their state of residence. Experience in managing and overseeing complex financial processes strongly preferred (MBA or equivalent is appreciated). Experience in oncology preferred but not required.
Position is contingent upon continued funding.
