For problems surrounded by complex rules and regulations, the Director must be able to direct compliance knowledgeably and expeditiously.
15. Must be able to develop creative and effective solutions to inter- and intra-project priority conflicts, resource constraints and other problems which may impact project or group goals and deliverables across multiple programs.

17. Extensive knowledge of the global regulatory, HTA and PR&A landscape, as well as understanding of other development-related functions as they relate to all phases of drug development.
18. Skills to perform the dual roles of leading a cross functional team and managing scientific personnel in clinical research.
