Job Responsibilities
Company
Syneos Health is a leading, fully integrated biopharmaceutical solutions organization that partners with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to develop and commercialize new therapies. Formed in 2017 through the merger of INC Research and inVentiv Health, the business combines clinical development and commercial capabilities within a single platform, supporting customers from early-stage trials through product launch and market adoption.
With more than 25,000 employees globally and operations across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, Syneos Health serves a broad mix of large pharmaceutical companies and emerging biotechnology organizations. The company’s integrated model, global scale, therapeutic expertise, and long-standing customer relationships position it as a differentiated partner within the biopharma services ecosystem.
Syneos Health was taken private in 2023 by a consortium of private equity investors after operating as a public company. Today, the business generates approximately $5 billion in annual revenue and is focused on defining its next phase of growth, including how it sharpens its strategic focus and evolves within an increasingly dynamic and technology-driven market environment.
The opportunity
Syneos is building an Analytics Center of Excellence to improve how data, clinical insight, real-world evidence, feasibility, patient access, site strategy, and operational experience are brought into pre-award decision-making. The Opportunity Strategy Architect is the role that forces the organization to ask better questions before the proposal strategy is set.
This person does not need to be the therapeutic expert or medical expert. They must understand clinical trials and drug development well enough to identify when the stated approach does not make sense, when the data does not support the strategy, and when the team is defaulting to the traditional answer instead of the best answer.
Core positioning
The Opportunity Strategy Architect is the strategic conscience of the opportunity: the person who asks why, challenges assumptions, determines what data is needed, and helps convert insight into a client-specific strategy that can win and be delivered.
The role
The Opportunity Strategy Architect is assigned to high-value or strategically important opportunities to assess, qualify, and shape the strategy before proposal and bid defense decisions are locked. The role must be constructively challenging, evidence-based, and commercially practical.
Candidate profile
The ideal candidate is a clinical development strategist who brings intellectual curiosity, commercial judgment, operational credibility, data literacy, and the ability to challenge conventional thinking constructively. They should be able to move across client strategy, clinical trial execution, evidence, patient access, proposal strategy, and delivery risk.
