Clinical Development Leader, Movement Disorders

About this role

Location: This position may be performed remotely, but requires the flexibility and willingness to travel as needed.

The Opportunity

Great clinical development takes more than a strong strategy. It takes someone willing to own the decisions, lead the trials, follow the data, and do what it takes to move promising medicines forward for the patients we serve. At Praxis, you’ll take clinical leadership across our movement disorders portfolio, including essential tremor and new indications. You’ll shape development strategy, lead studies, interpret emerging data, drive cross-functional execution, and carry clinical strategy through regulatory submissions and health authority interactions. This is a role for someone who is hands-on and wants to lead the work, not just primarily advise or review it. You’ll bring real depth in movement disorders, with the opportunity to take increasing ownership of the area as our portfolio evolves.

Primary Responsibilities

• Movement disorders development: Deep understanding of the disease area, endpoints, rating instruments, and patient experience, to development strategy and decision-making.

• Clinical strategy and trials: Translate science, emerging data, patient need, and regulatory requirements into development strategies—and personally lead studies from design through execution.

• Data-driven decisions: Interpret emerging clinical and scientific data, identify what matters, and make timely calls when information is incomplete.

• Regulatory strategy: Own substantive clinical content for regulatory filings, briefing materials, and health authority interactions.

• Cross-functional leadership: Drive teams across clinical operations, biostatistics, regulatory, safety, and other disciplines to resolve issues and move programs forward.
