About Indivior

Indivior is a global specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals struggling with substance use disorders (SUD) and serious mental illnesses. Our name combines "individual" and "endeavor," reflecting our commitment to each patient’s unique journey toward recovery. Our vision is to turn addiction from a global crisis into a recognized chronic disease, ensuring that patients everywhere have access to evidence-based treatment.

With a strong portfolio in opioid use disorder, we are expanding our pipeline to address other chronic conditions and co-occurring disorders, including alcohol and cannabis use disorders.

Position Summary

The Quantitative Clinical Pharmacology Department is integral to our preclinical and clinical development efforts. We focus on drug development strategy, study design, and dose selection while collaborating with cross-functional teams. We seek a highly motivated Director to lead quantitative clinical pharmacology activities across all stages of drug development, emphasizing pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). You will represent the clinical pharmacology discipline on multidisciplinary teams to design efficient clinical development programs and robust registration packages.

Essential Functions

Key responsibilities include:

  • Provide strategic leadership and accountability for quantitative clinical pharmacology programs supporting Phase 1-4 clinical development projects.

  • Present and defend quantitative clinical pharmacology plans and results to cross-functional teams, governance committees, and regulatory agencies.

  • Develop and oversee mathematical and statistical models (e.g., population PK and PK/PD analyses) to predict drug behavior, dose-response relationships, and dosing recommendations for special populations.

  • Conduct meta-analyses and simulation studies to optimize future clinical trial design and performance.

  • Support translational research by developing preclinical and translational PK/PD models for predicting human dosing ranges and supporting biomarker development.

  • Design, analyze, interpret, and report nonclinical and clinical pharmacology studies.

  • Provide critical input into clinical study protocols, analysis plans, investigator brochures, and regulatory submissions.

  • Oversee CROs and consultants to ensure high-quality work is completed on time.
