The Clinical Laboratory Study Manager serves as a critical bridge between scientific strategy and operational execution. Working closely with the Precision Medicine Strategy Lead, clinical study teams, and specialized groups such as Data Management (DM), Samples, Kits, Data, Logistics (SKDL), and Clinical Laboratory Project Management (CLPM), this 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 tangible medical treatments.
In this position, you will oversee the entire lifecycle of clinical sample management, from collection and chain of custody to usage per informed consent forms, tracking, and eventual destruction. You will act as a key liaison between internal stakeholders and external vendors, ensuring that sample collection adheres strictly to study protocols. Your expertise will be instrumental in resolving sample-related queries and supporting Clinical Trial Management (CTM) and CRO partners to maintain data integrity throughout the trial.
Your work involves active participation in cross-functional study teams, collaborating on the development of informed consent forms (ICF) and addressing regulatory escalations from IRBs/ECs. You will partner with project managers to build lab databases that address specific clinical trial needs regarding kits, testing, and logistics. A significant portion of your time will be dedicated to monitoring the acquisition and testing of clinical samples, including human tissue, whole blood, plasma, and serum, often in coordination with the SKDL team.
You will also manage the operational aspects of sample analysis, including the planning and integration of collection, processing, storage, shipping, and transfer protocols. This includes overseeing budget alignment by assessing vendors, forecasting costs, and reviewing invoices. Additionally, you will prepare Requests for Proposals (RFPs), review bids and Statements of Work (SOWs), and provide guidance and training to vendors, collaborators, and clinical sites on proper sample handling procedures.
Qualified candidates will be considered for this remote position. The selection process focuses on identifying individuals with strong project management capabilities and deep experience in clinical research lab study management within the CRO or pharmaceutical/biotech sectors.
