  • 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:
