Full job description

What if your pharmacy leadership helped new medicines take their first step in human clinical trials?

Fortrea, formerly Covance, is one of the world’s largest and longest‑established early‑phase clinical research organizations.

We operate Phase I clinical research units (CRU) globally, including our world‑class Leeds CRU. Just a 7‑minute walk from the train station, our Leeds CRU is one of the few MHRA‑accredited Phase I units in the UK, purpose‑built to deliver first‑in‑human studies.

If Leeds is where new medicines begin their journey, this job exists to lead the pharmacy function that makes that possible. As our next Clinical Trials Pharmacy Manager , you will combine people leadership with hands‑on pharmacy production expertise to lead and develop teams that deliver investigational medicinal products (IMP) during live clinical research activity.

This is a full‑time , permanent role , based on site at Fortrea’s Leeds Drapers Yard Clinical Research Unit.

WHY IS THIS JOB DIFFERENT?

This is a rare pharmacy leadership role in the UK, where you work at the heart of first‑in‑human clinical research.

At Fortrea Leeds, the clinic and cGMP pharmacy sit under the same roof. You lead a team preparing investigational medicines just steps away from where first‑in‑human dosing happens. Pharmacy, clinic, and quality work together in one integrated environment, enabling real‑time collaboration.

As a result, pharmacy leadership directly shapes how early‑phase clinical research is delivered, every day.

IN THIS JOB YOU WILL

Lead and develop a high‑performing pharmacy team

Line manage pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, setting clear expectations and standards
Recruit, onboard, and develop capability as the Leeds pharmacy function grows
Build a culture of accountability, collaboration, and operational excellence

Own day‑to‑day pharmacy operations for live Phase I studies

Plan and oversee daily pharmacy activity to support active clinical trials
Ensure teams, materials, and facilities are ready to meet early‑morning dosing schedules
Maintain operational grip in a fast‑moving, live clinical research environment

Maintain hands‑on production credibility

Expand hands‑on pharmacy production expertise in a clean‑room setting
Step into production activities when required to support the team or maintain continuity
Lead by example, particularly during high‑pressure or time‑critical study activity

Ensure GMP, clean‑room, and regulatory compliance

Own local pharmacy compliance within GMP‑aligned, MHRA‑regulated operations
Maintain clean‑room facilities, equipment qualification, and environmental standards
Lead inspection readiness and host MHRA and client audits alongside Quality

Enable safe and reliable first‑in‑human delivery

Ensure investigational medicinal products are prepared and delivered accurately and safely
Support teams working at the highest point of clinical and operational risk
Make day‑to‑day decisions that directly impact participant safety and study success

WHAT YOU BRING

Essential for this job:

Education and professional registration

A Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) degree from an accredited university
Registered Pharmacist with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in the UK

Pharmacy and leadership experience

Significant post-qualification pharmacy experience, including leadership responsibility in regulated environments subject to quality oversight, audits, or inspections

Proven line-management experience, including leading, developing, and performance-managing pharmacy teams

Clean‑room and production environment expertise

Hands‑on experience working in clean‑room pharmacy environments, typically within hospital‑based, institutional settings, or phase I Research Units
Practical experience working with clean‑room air classifications, including Grade C and Grade D environments, aligned with Annex 1 expectations
Experience supporting or overseeing aseptic, sterile, and non‑sterile production activities
Confidence operating in environments where clean‑room discipline, environmental monitoring, and contamination control are critical

Preferred :

Formal GMP experience is an advantage, but strong clean‑room production experience is considered highly transferable.

Experience in clinical research or Phase I environments is an advantage, but not required

If you want to apply your pharmacy leadership at the point where new medicines first reach humans, we’d like to hear from you.
