• Flag risks and contingency plans to project management to keep the project compliant with regulatory and Veeva procedures
• Contribute to process, product, and best-practice initiatives, and support developers and testers throughout the project lifecycle
• Share data management activities, challenges, and end-user feedback with the Vault CDMS product team
• Configure and support data imports into Veeva DQS

• Solid understanding of clinical trial processes, particularly around data collection and review
• Programming experience in languages such as SAS, R, JSON, Python, or SQL, with the ability to pick up new SQL-based languages
• Background in the life sciences industry (pharma, biotech, medical device, CRO, or academic/public health), with experience across project assessment, planning, development, training, and implementation
• Experience in a customer-facing role, ideally within software professional services or consulting
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment while meeting project timelines
• Strong verbal and written communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills
• Willingness to travel up to 10%, potentially including international travel

Nice to Have

• Experience working with system integrators for IVRS, medical coding, eSource, CTMS, eTMF, or similar clinical technologies
• Experience integrating or programming with REST-based APIs
