Do you want to join a motivated high performing global development team, work within our strong portfolio, and make a difference to patients living with brain disease?

As Clinical Trial Manager you are the primary point of contact for our vendors/CROs for the effective execution of our clinical trials. You will be responsible for their oversight and management, their deliverables in collaboration with your Lundbeck colleagues, and for delivering high quality trial execution within timelines and budget.
