Associate Director Clinical Operations, Immunotherapy and ICU Emergency Medicine | 10+ years at Octapharma
Since joining Octapharma in August 2014 as a Clinical Trial Associate, I have advanced through four promotions—Clinical Research Associate, Clinical Study Manager, Project Manager, and now Associate Director of Clinical Operations, Immunology. This progression reflects Octapharma’s commitment to fostering internal growth and providing robust opportunities for professional development. With continued mentorship, specialized training, and hands-on experience, I am confident in my trajectory toward the Director of Clinical Operations role in the near future.
What I value most about my role is the exceptional team I collaborate with daily. A cohesive, talented team transforms challenges into opportunities, enabling us to address complex issues efficiently and effectively. This dynamic fuels my passion for our work.
The most compelling aspect of working at Octapharma is the opportunity to thrive within small, agile teams while tackling diverse, multifaceted projects. As part of a compact international team, I manage clinical trials, taking on varied responsibilities that demand adaptability and initiative. This environment allows me to exceed expectations, maintain high engagement, and accelerate my career growth. The constant variety ensures that each day brings fresh challenges, fostering both personal and professional development.
Our team culture is the heartbeat of my daily motivation. I am energized by the opportunity to strengthen relationships, drive projects forward, and mentor my colleagues. As Associate Director, I take pride in empowering my team, sharing insights from my years of experience, and delegating responsibilities that foster their growth. This collaborative spirit makes work feel purposeful and rewarding, transforming each day into an opportunity to learn and achieve.
My commitment to Octapharma extends beyond standard hours. I maintain open communication with clinical sites, often taking calls at all hours and working weekends to ensure seamless operations. Building strong relationships with research staff and developing Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) is central to my role as a representative of Octapharma. I strive to embody the company’s values, fostering trust and collaboration at every touchpoint.
To aspiring candidates seeking to join Octapharma, I offer this advice: Bring confidence, dedication, and an open mind. Embrace leadership at any level, let your work ethic shine, and approach challenges with humility and passion. This is not a conventional 9-to-5 role—it demands heart, soul, and pride in your contributions. Hard work and a commitment to excellence will pave the way for meaningful rewards.
We are always eager to welcome talented individuals who share our drive and values. Join us, and let your work make an impact.
