  • Supporting the project manager with financial tasks, including managing the purchase order process and processing study invoices and Investigator payments.
  • Preparing and maintaining study files, ensuring compliance with filing/naming guidelines in the electronic trial master file, and tracking document status.

Required qualifications and experience:

  • Bachelor's degree or international equivalent in business, finance, health sciences, or related field, preferred.
