Clinical Research Physician - Oncology

JOB DESCRIPTION

At Lilly, the work is demanding because patients are waiting. We unite caring with discovery to help make life better for people around the world, knowing that every decision, every detail, and every day matters. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, our over 50,000 employees around the globe take on complex challenges to discover and deliver life‑changing medicines, strengthen how health is understood and managed, and support the communities we serve.

This is hard, urgent, selfless work—but it’s work worth doing. If you’re driven by purpose and ready to bring your best to work that truly matters for patients, we invite you to join us.

Lilly is a global healthcare leader that unites caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We were founded more than a century ago by a man committed to creating high‑quality medicines that meet real needs, and today we remain true to that mission in all our work. Across the globe, Lilly employees work to discover and bring life‑changing medicines to those who need them, improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to communities through philanthropy and volunteerism.

As a Clinical Research Physician (CRP), you’ll bring your scientific training and clinical experience to the heart of how we develop and deliver medicines. You’ll play a central role across the product lifecycle — from designing and running global clinical trials through to registration, commercialisation, and beyond. Day to day, you’ll contribute to protocol development, study reporting, and data dissemination. You’ll review publications, support labelling updates, and help shape documents for pricing, reimbursement, and access.

You’ll ensure adverse events are reported in line with our patient safety standards, and you’ll engage with regulatory agencies and external thought leaders to advance our science. You’ll also serve as a key scientific resource — advising study teams, contributing to business unit and global product strategy, and supporting medical activities that help get our medicines to the patients who need them.

Throughout all of this, you’ll be expected to uphold the highest standards of compliance, ensuring your work aligns with applicable regulations (FDA, ICH, CPMP), Good Clinical Practices, Lilly policies, and the Principles of Medical Research.
