- Build SQL views off curated Snowflake tables to support study-level governance dashboards and compliance monitoring.
- Develop and maintain study-level data quality dashboards, and lead weekly or bi-weekly data review meetings to monitor query aging, compliance trends, and reconciliation status.
- Partner with Data Engineering to ensure accurate API ingestion, pipeline stability, timestamp harmonization, and curated table integrity.
- Oversee query generation, discrepancy tracking, reconciliation oversight, and documentation required for database lock.
- Certify database lock readiness, confirm reconciliation completion, document missing data justification, and deliver clean operational datasets to Analytics and Data Science.
- Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of SOPs, templates, and scalable clinical data processes within WHOOP.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, Clinical Research, Biomedical Sciences, Data Science, or related field.

- Demonstrated experience designing and building EDC systems, including CRF development and edit check specification.
- Strong experience supporting database lock and reconciliation processes.
- Proficiency in SQL (required), with experience querying modern data warehouses such as Snowflake or equivalent.
- Experience working in cross-functional environments involving engineering, analytics, and clinical teams.
- Strong understanding of CDISC, GCP, ICH, FDA, and related regulatory frameworks applicable to clinical research and medical devices.
- Experience with wearable devices, digital biomarkers, or remote/virtual clinical trial designs preferred.
