• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Govern biotech research and clinical trial data to ensure accuracy, lineage, and full auditability for scientific analysis and regulatory submissions
• Define and enforce data policies covering classification, access controls, security standards, and metadata management across research, clinical, regulatory, and partner teams
• Enable secure, governed data access for analytics, AI model development, and external collaborations — while protecting confidential and patient-related information
• Work cross-functionally with scientific, IT, compliance, and business stakeholders to align data standards, workflows, and governance frameworks
• Identify gaps in existing data quality and compliance processes and lead initiatives to close them

• A strong cross-functional collaborator who can bridge scientific, technical, and regulatory teams around shared data standards
• Detail-oriented and systematic — you understand what it takes to make data truly trustworthy at scale
• Self-directed and comfortable working independently in a remote, asynchronous environment

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training data pipelines
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ICH E6 GCP, or GDPR as applied to life sciences
• Background working alongside AI or machine learning teams on data readiness initiatives
• Experience with metadata management tools or data cataloguing platforms

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading AI research labs and life sciences organizations
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact work
• Gain direct exposure to how high-quality, governed data enables breakthroughs in both AI and scientific research
• Contribute to initiatives that sit at the intersection of biotech innovation and the future of AI
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
