Clinical Operations Leader & Study Delivery Architect

RDI; Los Angeles (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

RDI is seeking a senior Clinical Operations leader to own clinical study delivery and build our operating system for a larger, more complex portfolio. You will lead people, dive into studies, and fix what is broken, not preserve the status quo.

This role is in person at our Los Angeles / Van Nuys office, five days a week, with relocation assistance available. You will shape the end-to-end process from protocol to dataset and partner with top IVD clients.

Qualifications

• You have run clinical research yourself.
• IVD and diagnostics experience is valuable, but we care more about what you have personally owned and built than the logo on your résumé.
• The strongest candidate is probably a little underleveraged today: highly capable, frustrated by how slowly decisions move, and ready to own substantially more than their current company will give them.
• If you have built a research site, laboratory, clinical program, CRO, or operating team, we want to hear about it.

Responsibilities

• Own clinical study delivery across RDI, including turning protocols and scopes into real execution plans.
• Keep timelines, enrollment, sites, samples, budgets, risks, and client commitments under control.
• See problems before they become fire drills and ensure project status reflects reality, not optimism.
• Lead and develop PMs, CTMs, CRAs, and clinical staff; decide when to coach, delegate, or step into the work.
• Improve management of study startup, sites, recruitment, monitoring, samples, data, and closeout; build accountable systems.
• Work directly with clients when senior operational judgment is required and build a larger, harder portfolio for the Clinical Operations organization.
