Additionally, this individual will provide guidance and shared learning throughout planning and implementation, as well as ensure clinical trial vendor deliverables and timelines are met across assigned clinical trials. This position will report to the Head of Clinical Operations.


This position requires a strong ability to synthesize scientific, clinical and business considerations into a cohesive clinical vendor operational and data delivery strategy. This individual will use outstanding cross-functional skills to achieve study and program goals and will develop a solid understanding of the clinical indications being pursued including knowledge of the patient needs, development plan, applicable regulatory guidance as well as the competitive landscape in the therapeutic space.

Excellent written and oral communication skills are required to represent the trials and program to internal and external stakeholders, as is the desire and ability to work in a small, fast-paced, and patient-focused environment. Adaptability to changing study and program needs and challenges and an innovative approach to problem solving will be important characteristics of the successful candidate.

  • Develop and implement clinical oversight plans and perform ongoing risk-based data-driven review pertinent to clinical oversight activities
  • Collect and analyze qualitative and quantitative results from quality oversight activities and develop reporting that highlights areas of concern and outlines investigations, action plans, and resolution
  • Provide expertise to oversee the end-to-end data delivery integration activities across clinical vendor types (may include eDC, eCOA, Labs, Imaging). This includes providing oversight of operational input into vendor specifications and requirements, as well as data transfer agreements and/or transfer specifications for third party vendors
  • Secure agreement with appropriate stakeholders (clinical operations, clinical development, clinical supplies, translational research, quality) to develop strategies across studies
  • As applicable, act as Subject Matter Expect for oversight of the electronic trial master file (eTMF) (provided by third party vendor) across trials and vendors
  • May be required to perform other activities, as assigned, in support of successful study execution, such as overseeing other areas of clinical trial management, participating in onboarding study team members.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s Degree or international equivalent required; Life Sciences preferred. Advanced degree highly desirable.
  • 6+ years of relevant clinical operations experience, in trial management and/or vendor oversight roles
  • Strong knowledge of ICH GCP and global regulatory and compliance requirements for clinical research. Experience with regulatory inspections a plus.
  • Strong critical thinking, with ability to understand the big picture as well as the important details that may impact the big picture.
