Freelance Senior / Medical Director (Neurology - Bid Defense Support)

TFS HealthScience is a leading global mid-size Contract Research Organization (CRO) that partners with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies throughout their entire clinical development journey. Our expertise includes full service-capabilities, resourcing and Functional Service (FSP) solutions.

Join Our Team as a Freelance Senior / Medical Director (Neurology - Bid Defense Support).

About this role

TFS HealthScience is seeking a highly flexible board-certified Neurology specialist to support upcoming Bid Defense Meetings. This freelance role involves contributing expert input during proposal preparation (e.g. protocol review) and participating in the Bid Defense Meeting itself.

Ideally, the successful candidate would also be available for medical monitoring support if the project is awarded — although this is not a requirement.

This is a strategic role where your expertise will be key to demonstrating credibility and depth of knowledge to potential sponsors. We are looking for someone confident, articulate, and experienced enough to engage with clients at a high level and reinforce the strength of our clinical team.

This role is pivotal in shaping study design, leading bid defenses and ensuring medical oversight across key projects. If you are a clinically grounded leader with a strong commercial mindset and a passion for advancing drug development, we invite you to join our global team.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Leadership: Act as a key scientific advisor in bid defense meetings (BDM), RFP responses, and proposal development, ensuring compelling and medically sound strategies.
• Study Design & Protocol Development: Provide expert input on trial design, patient recruitment, and regulatory strategy to optimize study success.
• Medical Oversight: Lead medical monitoring activities across assigned projects and step in as a hands-on medical monitor when needed.
• Scientific Advocacy: Represent TFS at client meetings, industry conferences, and scientific events, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted CRO partner.
• Team Leadership: Mentor cross-functional teams, ensuring high-quality execution of clinical programs.

Qualifications:

• Medical Degree.
• Board-certified in Neurology.
• Deep knowledge of GCP, ICH guidelines, and regulatory requirements (FDA/EMA).
• Business acumen: Proven ability to support business development with a strategic, client-focused approach.
• Exceptional communicator: Strong presentation, negotiation, and interpersonal skills for engaging stakeholders at all levels.
• Fluent in English; additional languages are a plus.
