Click is progressing a broad pipeline of Digital Therapeutics™ across a variety of high-burden therapeutic areas, including MDD, Schizophrenia, Migraine, Chronic Pain, Atopic Dermatitis, Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), Obesity and more.

About the Role:

Working directly with the company’s Chief Strategy Officer and company leadership, the Director, Program Management, will help drive the execution of one of Click’s core digital therapeutics (DTx) programs, as well as serving as a designer, owner and advocate of Click’s program management practices. You will be responsible for providing leadership and management to a cross-functional team tasked with delivering a best-in-class DTx to market and ensuring its success on the market. You will oversee efficient advancement of a core asset through Click’s proprietary pipeline progression system and provide program management capabilities to ensure success of the program on time and on budget. The Program Manager will represent the program before leadership, including both the Portfolio Steering Committee and Executive Committee. For our partnered programs, you will also work closely with Click colleagues in Alliance Management and externally with our co-development and commercial partner to ensure execution of the program to meet or exceed partnership expectations. You will also foster a collegial, positive working relationship based on trust and mutual respect between the Click team and our partnership counterparts. As a Director, you will be responsible for one of Click’s larger, growth-oriented programs and be expected to build and lead a team of junior Program Managers supporting the program. This is a high impact, high visibility role with significant responsibility for the success of one of Click’s DTx. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, are success-orientated, and you can work independently, you may be the right candidate to join our team.

Our headquarters is located in Tribeca, NYC, at the center of one of the fastest-growing digital health communities. We also have dedicated spaces in central Miami, San Francisco, and Boston, and, in addition, via our partnership with Industrious, any Click employee can access co-working locations nationally.

Equal Employment Opportunity:

Click Therapeutics is committed to equal opportunity in the terms and conditions of employment for all employees and job applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, gender identity or gender expression, national origin, disability or veteran status. Click Therapeutics also complies with all applicable national, state and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment as well as employment eligibility verification requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act. All applicants must have authorization to work for Click Therapeutics in the U.S. In certain circumstances it may be advantageous to Click Therapeutics to support the application(s) for temporary visa classification and/or sponsor applications for permanent residence so that a foreign national colleague can accept or remain in a work assignment in the U. S. For certain classes of temporary visas, the resulting work authorization may be specific to Click Therapeutics and the specific job and/or work site. Click Therapeutics may at its business discretion decide to or refrain from obtaining, maintaining and/or extending the temporary visa status and/or sponsoring a colleague for permanent residency and /or employment eligibility, considering factors such as availability of qualified U.S. workers and the colleague's long-term prospects for securing lawful permanent residence, among other reasons. Employment applicants requiring immigration sponsorship must disclose, when initial application for employment is made, whether or not they are legally authorized to work for Click Therapeutics in the U.S. and, if so, whether that authorization permits them to work in the job they seek. In no case should Click Therapeutics support of a colleague's temporary visa application or sponsorship of a colleague for permanent residence be construed to guarantee success of that application or amend or otherwise invalidate the "at-will" employment relationship between the colleague and Click Therapeutics.
