This position serves as a critical bridge between scientific strategy and clinical execution. Working alongside the Precision Medicine Strategy Lead, clinical study teams, and specialized groups such as Data Management, Samples, Kits, Data, Logistics (SKDL), and Clinical Laboratory Project Management (CLPM), the role ensures the delivery of high-quality samples and data. The primary mission is to support biomarker and non-biomarker evaluations, enabling the translation of scientific discoveries into effective medical treatments.
In this capacity, you will partner closely with project managers from central and specialty labs, offering expertise to Clinical Trial Management (CTM) and Contract Research Organizations (CROs). Your focus will be on ensuring samples are collected strictly according to protocol and assisting in the resolution of any sample-related issues or queries. Beyond technical oversight, you will drive overall project management aligned with the core business strategy, ensuring seamless operations from sample collection and processing to storage, shipping, and data transfer.
Your work involves a dynamic mix of operational support, compliance, and strategic planning. You will liaise with internal stakeholders, including Informed Consent Form (ICF) specialists, to address technical and operational sample-related matters for assigned projects. A significant portion of your time will be dedicated to establishing and overseeing the flow of sample analysis, including exploratory analysis, while managing reporting and billing for study operations.
You will also collaborate with Precision Medicine Strategy Leads and scientists to assess vendors, forecast operational costs, and review invoices to maintain budget alignment. On the data front, you will work with data management leads to define how sample and testing data are captured, blinded, and transferred for clinical trials. Additionally, you will provide guidance to clinical teams and sites regarding the collection, storage, and shipping of human samples, ensuring all activities comply with study protocols and applicable informed consent forms.
Qualified candidates will be evaluated based on their clinical research experience, knowledge of clinical trials and databases, and ability to work independently within a matrixed organization. The selection process focuses on identifying professionals who can resolve problems spontaneously and contribute effectively to group initiatives.
