Launch your career at the intersection of science and strategy.

Join a 2-year, hands-on Clinical Operations Fellowship designed for leaders eager to shape the future of drug development. Work side-by-side with seasoned clinical leaders on active trials across Roivant’s portfolio, gaining deep exposure to study execution, regulatory frameworks, cross-functional collaboration, and global operations.

Why Clinical Operations:

Clinical Operations is where science meets strategy and clinical operations leaders are the front line for successful clinical trial execution. With increased development costs, trial complexity, and competition for sites and study participants, clinical operations plays a pivotal strategic role in enabling successful clinical research. By ensuring that complex trials are executed efficiently, compliantly, and on budget they can accelerate the path from development to market and drive meaningful value creation for biopharmaceutical companies.

However, costly delays remain pervasive: industry estimates indicate that roughly 80% of clinical trials fail to meet their initial targets and timelines, and more than 20% of participants who enroll in a study won’t see it through to completion. These delays are often attributed to preventable operational issues – underperforming sites, missed enrollment milestones, poor protocol design/development, or a lack of operational set-up/support for participants. Nimble, strategic clinical operations leaders avoid costly delays, accelerate trial timelines, and ensure that safe and effective therapies are delivered to participants while preserving the ROI.

The Clinical Operations Fellowship is a two-year, hands-on leadership development program designed for those ready to do more—faster, with quality.
