5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Enterprise R&D Operational Strategy	No involvement beyond executing assigned tasks.	Contributes data or insights to inform strategic discussions.	Proposes strategic initiatives within their workstream, provides input to broader strategy.
R&D Budget Allocation & Investment	Tracks personal expenses against a small budget.	Manages a small project budget (e.g., £5K-£10K), flags overspends.	Manages workstream budget (e.g., £50K-£100K), makes recommendations for resource allocation.
Global Regulatory Compliance Policy	Follows established local SOPs and reports deviations.	Interprets and applies local regulations to routine tasks, escalates complex compliance questions.	Develops and updates local SOPs, advises on compliance for specific studies, identifies potential risks.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

R&D Portfolio Success Rate

The percentage of research projects that successfully progress through key development milestones (e.g., preclinical to clinical, Phase 1 to Phase 2) and ultimately reach commercialisation.

Target · Achieve a 15% improvement in portfolio success rate over a 3-year period, benchmarked against industry averages.

If our industry average for preclinical-to-Phase 1 success is 30%, you'd aim to push ours to 34.5% or higher by optimising early-stage operational processes and resource allocation.

R&D Operational Efficiency (Cost per Study)

The average operational cost incurred per study or research programme, adjusted for complexity and phase. This metric reflects how effectively resources are managed across the research pipeline.

Target · Reduce the average operational cost per study by 10-15% over the next two years, without compromising quality or compliance.

You might implement new vendor management strategies or standardise certain lab processes, leading to a £500K saving across a portfolio of 20 studies, reducing the average cost per study by £25K.

Regulatory Audit & Compliance Record

The number and severity of findings from external regulatory inspections (e.g., MHRA, FDA, EMA) across all research operations globally.

Target · Maintain a record of zero critical findings and less than 5 minor findings per annum across all global R&D audits.

Successfully navigate three major regulatory inspections in a year across different geographies with only two minor observations, demonstrating robust operational and compliance frameworks.

Time-to-Market for Research Discoveries

The average time it takes from initial research concept approval to the successful launch of a new product or therapy, driven by operational streamlining.

Target · Decrease the average time-to-market by 20% for new research discoveries over a 5-year strategic horizon.

By optimising clinical trial start-up times and data management processes, you might shave 6 months off a typical 5-year development cycle for a key therapeutic candidate.

Board and Investor Confidence

The level of confidence the Board of Directors and external investors have in our R&D operational capabilities, risk management, and strategic direction.

Regular positive feedback from Board members on R&D operational updates
increased investor interest and favourable analyst reports regarding our R&D pipeline and execution
being proactively sought out for strategic input by the CEO and Board.

Global Regulatory Relationships

The strength and effectiveness of our relationships with key regulatory bodies worldwide, ensuring smooth communication and proactive engagement on policy changes.

Being invited to participate in industry working groups with regulatory agencies
receiving early insights into upcoming regulatory changes
successful navigation of complex regulatory pathways due to established trust and clear communication
regulators viewing us as a reliable and transparent partner.

R&D Talent Attraction & Retention

Our ability to attract and retain top-tier research operational talent, indicating a positive work environment and clear career pathways within R&D.

Lower-than-industry-average turnover rates for key R&D operational roles
high internal promotion rates within your function
positive feedback in employee engagement surveys specifically related to R&D operations
recognition as a 'best place to work' for research professionals.

Organisational Agility in R&D

The speed and effectiveness with which our R&D operations can adapt to new scientific insights, market shifts, or unforeseen challenges (e.g., a pandemic, new technology).

Rapid pivot of research programmes in response to new data or market opportunities
successful integration of new technologies into research workflows within months, not years
ability to quickly scale up or down research efforts as strategic priorities change
positive feedback from scientific leaders on operational responsiveness.
