5. Building and maintaining relationships with key investigational sites and Site Management Organizations.

7. Partnering with Legal and other divisions to manage escalations and improve processes in site contracting.
8. Ensuring alignment with invoicing specialists or service providers regarding site contracting and compensation.
9. Applying job skills and procedures to complete assignments of moderate scope and complexity.

• Experience with clinical study budgets and contracting negotiations.
• Knowledge of business, compliance, finance, legal, and drug development principles.
• Strong communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to plan and mitigate risks to site contracting timelines.
• Leadership skills demonstrated through influence rather than authority.
