THE OPPORTUNITY

Momentum Clinical Research (MCR) is seeking an experienced and commercially astute Chief Medical Officer to lead its medical and scientific agenda across Australia and New Zealand. MCR is Australasia's largest integrated clinical trial network, recently formed through the merger of Momentum Clinical Research and Pacific Clinical Research Network (PCRN).

THE ROLE

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Medical Officer provides strategic medical and scientific leadership. The role ensures clinical integrity, governance, and compliance while supporting growth and new business opportunities, and building key partnerships. As technical lead of the medical team and Principal Investigator on selected studies, the CMO will set the medical strategy, strengthen research quality, and contribute to business development initiatives that enhance MCR's market position and long-term sustainability.

THE CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate will have specialist qualifications and substantial experience as a Clinical Trial Investigator or senior medical leader within research, healthcare, or the pharmaceutical sector. They will demonstrate a blend of clinical credibility, commercial insight, and leadership gravitas — capable of balancing scientific integrity with strategic and business imperatives.
