Quotient Sciences is a leading drug development and manufacturing accelerator, helping biotech and pharma companies bring new medicines to patients faster. With over 30 years of experience and a track record of success, we provide Drug Product (CDMO) and Clinical (CRO) services across the entire development pathway, including formulation development, clinical pharmacology, clinical trial and commercial product manufacturing.

Our proprietary and disruptive platform – “Translational Pharmaceutics” – integrates Drug Product Manufacturing and Clinical Testing to eliminate silos in the drug development process. This in turn reduce costs, improves outcomes and significantly accelerates drug development times.

Why join us?

Because every day counts when bringing new medicines to patients. Our 1,000+ experts across the US, UK, and beyond are united by science, agility, and a culture that turns ideas into impact—fast.

The Opportunity

Quotient provides end-to-end services to manage every aspect of early clinical development programs. Our clinical pharmacology experience spans more than 1,300 Phase I studies delivered at our clinical units in Miami and Nottingham, with a full suite of healthy volunteer studies and capabilities in select patient populations.

As Quotient Sciences expands its clinical capabilities into patient trials, we are seeking a highly experienced Director, Feasibility and CRO/Site Partnerships to play a pivotal role in determining the feasibility of recruitment for a range of patient populations. This role will be instrumental in in identifying, onboarding, and managing strategic relationships with CROs, external clinical sites, and investigators across the UK and US.

We are looking for someone with deep industry experience, ideally from a well-established CRO or clinical organization, who brings strategic insight, mature stakeholder management skills, and a proven track record in patient recruitment and site partnerships.

While this role can be home-based, we value the benefits of in-person collaboration. Ideally, the successful candidate will be located within reasonable travel distance of our Nottingham clinical site and be willing to travel to all sites when required.

Feasibility & Recruitment Strategy

In this role, you will lead the design and execution of feasibility assessments for patient trials, particularly those beyond our healthy volunteer panels. Working closely with our Patient Engagement Lead, you will develop tailored recruitment and retention strategies that are both innovative and grounded in real-world insights. You’ll identify and evaluate external collaborators, including CROs, hospital sites, specialist clinics, and investigator networks, and ensure their capabilities align with project needs. Your input will be critical in shaping recruitment plans, costing models, and proposal documentation. You’ll also play a key role in customer-facing discussions such as RFIs and bid-defence meetings.

Collaboration & Oversight

You will be responsible for building and maintaining strategic partnerships with CROs and clinical sites, ensuring these relationships are governed effectively and deliver high performance. This includes leading oversight activities to ensure compliance with Quotient’s standards and participating in audits and inspection readiness. You’ll provide training and guidance to internal teams on best practices for engaging external collaborators and assessing feasibility. Your insights will also help refine operational and commercial templates, and you’ll collaborate with our Marketing and Commercial teams to develop compelling customer-facing materials. You’ll monitor and report on commercial performance metrics to inform strategic decisions and drive continuous improvement.

Operational Delivery & Project Support

As projects move into delivery, you’ll support the handover process to Program Managers and the Patient Engagement Lead, ensuring a smooth transition from planning to execution. You’ll assist with site qualification, contracting, onboarding, and initiation, and remain involved throughout the trial lifecycle to monitor recruitment performance and resolve any delivery issues. Your presence on customer calls and meetings will help maintain continuity, and you’ll play a key role in evaluating collaborator performance and feeding insights back into our processes to ensure future success.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in life sciences or related field (advanced degree preferred).
• Minimum 8 years of experience in clinical research, with patient feasibility, recruitment and direct site management experience.
• Strong knowledge of GCP and regulatory requirements for patient trials.
• Proven ability to build and maintain site relationships.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and organizational skills.
