What You'll Do

• Review and evaluate clinical trial protocols, identifying methodological strengths, gaps, and risks
• Analyze endpoints, inclusion/exclusion criteria, randomization strategies, and study controls for scientific soundness
• Interpret trial results and produce clear, accurate summaries of safety and efficacy findings
• Validate statistical analysis plans for completeness, accuracy, and regulatory alignment
• Identify operational or scientific risks in trial execution before they become problems
• Support recurring evaluations of clinical documentation and study outputs across multiple projects

Must-Have

• Hands-on experience in clinical research, biostatistics, pharmaceutical science, or a closely related field
• Strong working knowledge of trial methodology, GCP guidelines, and regulatory standards (FDA, EMA, or equivalent)
• Proven ability to interpret complex trial data and communicate findings clearly in written form
• Detail-oriented, methodical, and capable of working independently with minimal oversight

Nice To Have

• Experience across Phase I–IV clinical trials
• Familiarity with specific therapeutic areas (oncology, cardiology, rare disease, etc.)
• Background in medical writing, regulatory affairs, or clinical data management
• Exposure to adaptive trial designs or Bayesian statistical approaches

Why Join Us

• Work on high-quality, scientifically meaningful projects that matter
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of consistent, task-based assignments
• Apply your expertise across a diverse range of trials and therapeutic areas
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
