Syneos Health is looking for a scientifically trained leader who has built a strong foundation within a CRO or pharmaceutical environment and is ready to step into a highly visible, client-facing leadership role.

This is an exciting opportunity for an epidemiologist or quantitative scientist who has evolved into people leadership and wants their impact to extend beyond study execution.

What makes this role compelling is the breadth of influence. Your scientific credibility will position you as a trusted partner. Your line management experience will allow you to build and strengthen high-performing teams.

• Align capabilities with business priorities
