  • Forge and maintain robust relationships with global health partners, including international health agencies, non-profits, academic institutions, and private sector entities.
  • Provide critical consultation and thought partnership to Foundation partners and external collaborators to advance drug development initiatives, ensuring successful implementation of grants and technical innovations.
  • Represent the Foundation at scientific and policy forums, advocating for the integration of pharmacometrics in global health strategies and engaging stakeholders to communicate its value.
Requirements
