Qualification and Experience:

Ph.D. in Toxicology or a related life sciences discipline, with postdoctoral training or equivalent research experience, and a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or CRO industry supporting nonclinical safety and translational toxicology across drug discovery and development.

Demonstrated expertise in the design, scientific oversight, and interpretation of a broad range of exploratory and GLP nonclinical toxicology studies. Knowledge of emerging NAM approaches is preferred

Extensive experience managing outsourced toxicology programs and CRO partnerships to ensure high-quality study execution, regulatory compliance, and timely delivery.

Proven experience supporting drug discovery and development programs, including the development of nonclinical safety strategies and regulatory submissions. Experienced with China regulatory requirements and interactions with NMPA/CDE.

A demonstrated track record of scientific impact, evidenced by significant contributions to project advancement, regulatory success, and influence both within the organization and the broader scientific community.

Strong decision-making, complex problem-solving, critical data analysis, and benefit–risk assessment

Proven ability to lead and influence cross-functional teams in a highly matrixed global environment, build productive collaborations across disciplines and regions, and effectively communicate complex scientific concepts to project teams, governance committees, senior leadership, and regulatory agencies.
