  • Documented ability to manage and lead complex projects to completion.

  • Experience with RSV adult and / or COVID‑19 epidemiology, clinical registries, patient‑generated health data, unstructured clinical data, and other health data sources.
  • Understanding of global regulatory guidance for RWE use in submissions.
  • Willingness to travel 10–15% for meetings and conferences.
  • Fluent in English (writing, reading, speaking).
  • Candidate demonstrates breadth of diverse leadership experiences and capabilities, including influence, coaching, and business impact.
  • Relocation support available

    Desired Skill Set

  • Knowledge of vaccine development, infectious disease, host / pathogen interactions, immunology.
