Client background
This commercial stage biopharmaceutical company is developing an innovative pipeline of precision cancer therapies. They have approximately 300 employees with a 15 person Regulatory team.
Challenge
Our client was seeking a Regulatory Strategy Director to develop and implement global regulatory strategies for one of their key oncology assets. They needed somebody with deep oncology expertise and a strong regulatory strategy background with both development programs and marketed products. In addition, they needed someone who would be the right fit for their fast-paced company culture. This role had been open for several months and our client had over 100 applicants, but none of them were the right fit.
Approach
Dennis Partners kicked off a Contingent Search in late June to find candidates for our client. We focused on Regulatory Affairs Directors and Associate Directors with both post-approval and development backgrounds, along with several years of oncology experience. Although this is a remote position, the client preferred that we focus on candidates on the East Coast.
Result
Within two days of starting the search, we submitted the candidate who was hired. Altogether we submitted six candidates who fit the client’s qualifications and they conducted video interviews throughout the month of July. By the first week of August the client was ready to extend an offer to their top pick. Dennis Partners helped to negotiate the offer and the candidate accepted the position. We filled this role in under 60 days and our client was elated!
