· Foster and maintain strong relationships with external vendors, ensuring alignment on project goals, timelines, and quality standards.


Compliance & Regulatory Expertise:

· Ensure that all vendor activities comply with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Good Documentation Practice (GDP), and ICH E6 R2 guidelines.

· Stay updated on global and regional regulatory trends to ensure ongoing compliance.


Education:

· BS or BA degree is required (a related field such as life sciences, business, or healthcare preferred).


Experience:

· A minimum of 5+ years of relevant experience in the pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical industry, ideally with experience in vendor management, clinical trial outsourcing, or clinical operations.

· Strong understanding of clinical trial activities (e.g., clinical monitoring, data management, medical writing, biomarker labs, etc.), and familiarity with associated technologies like wearables, telemedicine, and RWD/RWE.


Certifications:

· PMP (Project Management Professional) certification or equivalent is a plus, though not mandatory.


Skills:
