Job description

About Tilda Research, Inc.

Tilda Research is reimagining how clinical trials are run by bringing AI-native tools and AI teammates into clinical research operations. Our technology works alongside sponsor, CRO, and research teams to simplify study management, improve data quality, support real-time oversight, and help accelerate trial timelines.

We are building the future of clinical trial execution: one where research teams can spend less time on administrative bottlenecks and more time focused on patients, sites, and the work that moves new treatments forward. Tilda’s mission is rooted in the belief that clinical research should be faster, more efficient, more scalable, and more accessible — without losing the human judgment and care that patients and research teams deserve.

At Tilda, we are a team of builders, operators, researchers, and problem-solvers working at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and AI. We move quickly, think deeply, and care about building products and systems that create meaningful impact in the clinical research industry.

We are looking for an Implementation Lead who combines deep clinical trial operations experience with a strong technology and product mindset to help customers successfully implement and adopt Tilda.

Role Overview

The Implementation Lead sits at the intersection of Clinical Operations, Clinical Project Management, Product, and Customer Implementation. This is not a traditional software engineering or infrastructure deployment role.

We're looking for someone who understands how clinical trials actually operate and can translate customer processes and requirements into effective workflows within the Tilda platform. You will work directly with clinical research customers to understand their study operations, identify workflow and process requirements, configure the Tilda platform, coordinate implementation activities, support testing and validation, and guide customers through successful go-live and adoption. The ideal candidate started their career in Clinical Operations, Clinical Project Management, Site Operations, Clinical Data, or a related clinical research function and has subsequently gained experience working with clinical trial technology or SaaS products.
