Description
The Site Strategy Lead (SSL) is integral to the development of delivery strategies at the early phase of proposal development, and is a key player in supporting study-specific requests for the Data Generation group from clients in the request for proposal.
The SSL is key in building the most efficient and effective scenario for study execution during the sales process. This global team works closely with other functional unit leads, and has the ability to build a strong proposal that IQVIA can operationalize and execute.
In addition to pre-award support, the team provides post-award phase support, and the SSL will work with the assigned Clinical Operations Lead (COL) to ensure that the sold Data Generation strategy is passed on to the assigned study team.
