• You understand study protocols, data flows, and team objectives to contribute effectively to assigned tasks

• You communicate data issues clearly to internal team members and external vendors in straightforward situations

• You share learnings and emerging best practices with peers to support team development

• You apply independent judgment to solve moderately complex data issues, interpret guidance, prioritize responsibilities, and seek guidance in situations that require contextual understanding

• You adhere to functional standards, participating in peer review or mentoring relationships to uphold quality while building expertise in data management methodology

Who you are: 

• You hold a Bachelor’s (or Master’s) degree in computer science, life sciences, statistics, informatics, or a related field

• You have a minimum of 3-5 years of experience in clinical data management or a related function, or an advanced degree with 2+ years of equivalent work experience

• You have a foundational understanding of clinical trial data and the drug development process

• You are familiar with clinical data systems (e.g., EDC), Excel, and basic query logic

• You demonstrate strong attention to detail and organizational skills

• You demonstrate critical thinking and a willingness to learn

• You are an effective communicator, able to work collaboratively in team settings

Preferred:

• Internship or academic experience in clinical trials, data science, or informatics

• Exposure to CDISC standards (e.g., SDTM) or basic programming (SAS, R)
