• 10%: Maintain organized documentation repositories and ensure development records, project files, trackers, meeting notes, and study documentation are complete, accurate, current, and audit-ready.
• Perform other duties as assigned to support team and organizational objectives.
• Comply with all company policies, procedures, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Qualifications

Required

• Degree: Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Public Health, Healthcare Administration, Clinical Research, or related field.

• Experience coordinating activities across multiple stakeholders and functional teams, including tracking follow-ups and helping maintain team alignment.
• Strong organizational, documentation, meeting coordination, and project tracking skills.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow processes consistently.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint.
• Equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered.

Preferred

• Master's degree or PhD.
• Experience supporting clinical trials, registries, observational studies, or evidence-generation programs.
• Familiarity with GCP, clinical study documentation, regulatory processes, or healthcare compliance environments.
• Experience working with CROs, academic medical centers, healthcare systems, or industry partners.
