The Clinical Operations Program Head (COPH) is accountable to deliver data-driven, actionable operational and strategic insights for execution of a clinical development program and all associated trials by representing GCO at the Global Clinical Team (GCT) as well as at the Global Program Team (GPT).

The COPH is the single point of contact for a trial/program within GCO and partners closely with key members of the GCT/GPT such as GPCH, GPH and other key communities to ensure best collaboration with operations to drive overall success of our programs and trials.

The COPH leads the GCO sub-team to determine the GCO operational input to planning prior to any given development tollgate and to prepare the Operational Execution Plan (OEP), which is authored and owned by the COPH.

The OEP incorporates both data-derived insights as well as country insights which enable informed decision-making, identify complexity, enable the generation of risk mitigation plans to reduce chances of delays, allow easier adaption of actions, and ensure transparency of the GCO operational position and the downstream delivery of program and trial milestones.
