  • Maintain regular communication regarding the status of regulatory responsibilities with research staff, sponsors, IRBs, and other stakeholders.
  • Update and manage a comprehensive database containing essential information on all MHIF studies.
  • Organize, store, and track regulatory applications, documents, and research information in compliance with regulatory standards and MHIF protocols.
  • Develop and enhance guidelines, tools, and processes to ensure high-quality regulatory and compliance operations.
  • May oversee and provide informal guidance, training, and education to QR Administrative Assistants and QR Specialist I.
  • Assist the Director of Quality & Regulatory Affairs in managing potential conflicts of interest related to research and non-research activities in accordance with MHIF policies.
  • Lead and support the management of MHIF policies and SOPs.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to provide regulatory insights and solutions.
  • Contribute to the education and training of MHIF staff on relevant research and compliance topics and regulations.
  • Participate in monitoring and auditing selected research projects to ensure adherence to applicable internal, federal, and state regulations.
  • Support the Director of Quality & Regulatory Affairs with non-research compliance requirements and special projects as necessary.
  • Work collaboratively with all MHIF employees to foster a positive and supportive workplace culture.
Relationships:

This position reports to the Director of Quality & Regulatory Affairs and may receive work direction from the VP of Clinical Research Operations. The Specialist II will collaborate closely with MHIF research personnel and other key internal and external stakeholders.

Qualifications:

Required:
  • Bachelor's Degree

  • 3 years of experience supporting investigator-initiated research (may overlap with the above).
  • Proven strong interpersonal and written communication skills.
  • Advanced proficiency in MS Word and intermediate skills in database applications, including MS Excel, Outlook, and SharePoint.
  • Ability to think critically, exercise sound independent judgment, adapt to changing regulatory environments, and manage competing priorities.
  • Recognize and evaluate novel problems or situations without clear precedents, and develop solutions that align with MHIF and IRB policies.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively as part of a team and contribute to a positive work culture.
Preferred:
