25d • $273,000 - $372,000 • Remote

About The Position

At Insmed, every moment and every patient counts — and so does every person who joins in. As a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming the lives of patients with serious and rare diseases, you’ll be part of a community that prioritizes the human experience, celebrates curiosity, and values every person’s contributions to meaningful progress. That commitment has earned us recognition as Science magazine’s No. 1 Top Employer for five consecutive years, certification as a Great Place to Work® in the U.S., and a place on The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list in the UK. For patients, for each other, and for the future of science, we’re in. Are you? About the Role: We’re looking for a Senior Director, Clinical Research & Development on the Clinical Development team to help us expand what’s possible for patients with serious diseases. Reporting to the Vice President, Disease Area Head, Respiratory, you’ll serve as a clinical leader responsible for supporting two primary activities. First, the role provides clinical evaluation of potential in-licensing or acquisition opportunities coordinated and led by Insmed’s Business Development organization. Second, the role supports cross-functional discussions with Insmed discovery research platforms as molecules advance beyond the Late Lead Optimization milestone. The disease areas supported may be guided, in part, by the physician’s clinical expertise. However, there is an expectation that the physician will possess sufficient breadth of experience to contribute meaningfully to initial evaluations across multiple disease areas, leveraging external medical experts as needed. This is a remote role.

Requirements

• MD, MD/PhD, PharmD or equivalent medical training, with board certification in an internal medicine specialty preferred
• At least 7 years of clinical development experience in biotech or pharmaceutical settings, with meaningful drug development experience across modalities, including oral small molecules and biologics; experience with combination drug–device products preferred.
• Original NDA, MAA, and J-NDA experience.
• Demonstrated leadership in the design, execution, and interpretation of global Phase 1–2a clinical programs; experience with combination drug–device development and later-stage programs.
• Strong understanding of global regulatory pathways and expectations, including FDA, EMA, and PMDA.
• Proven ability to lead and influence effectively within cross-functional, matrixed organizations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage scientific, regulatory, and executive stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Provide clinical input into the overall assessment of external molecules as a member of Due Diligence teams.
• Contribute clinical input to cross-functional planning for molecules emerging from Insmed discovery platforms at the Late Lead Optimization stage.
• Serve, as needed, on transition teams for molecules that are in-licensed, acquired, or partnered.
• Have oversight of clinical execution, along with management of clinical development planning and external engagement.
• Maintain awareness of emerging science, competitive landscapes, and evolving global standards of care across relevant disease areas.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage and mental health support, annual wellbeing reimbursement, and access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Generous paid time off policies, fertility and family-forming benefits, caregiver support, and flexible work schedules with purposeful in-person collaboration
• 401(k) plan with a competitive company match, annual equity awards, and participation in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), and company-paid life and disability insurance
• Company Learning Institute providing access to LinkedIn Learning, skill building workshops, leadership programs, mentorship connections, and networking opportunities
