About the Role

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Project Manager I to join our sponsor-dedicated team supporting high-impact oncology and cell & gene therapy trials, including CAR-T studies. In this unique role, you will work full-time on behalf of a leading biopharmaceutical sponsor while employed within a global CRO, offering the best of both worlds: direct sponsor collaboration and robust CRO resources.

This position focuses on early-phase trial execution, operational oversight, and cross-functional coordination across global study teams. You will be at the center of some of the most promising therapeutic advancements in the world, playing a critical role in accelerating the development of treatments that could change patients' lives forever. If you're looking to grow your career while making a real-world impact, you will have the opportunity to step up into larger roles and leadership paths while working with a team that shares your urgency and dedication to patients battling cancer and rare diseases.

While remote work is supported, we strongly prefer candidates located near our sponsor's Los Angeles office (near the Westwood neighborhood/UCLA campus). This location preference allows for periodic in-office collaboration and faster integration with the sponsor team, fostering deeper team connections and mentorship.

Hiring Process

To join our mission, please submit your application highlighting your experience in clinical trial execution and your passion for cell and gene therapy. We look for candidates who are ready to challenge the status quo in a highly competitive and ever-changing environment.
