Medical Director, Ophthalmology

Precision Point; United States; Hybrid; USD 35,000 - 55,000; Part time

Job summary

Precision Point is seeking an ophthalmology-focused medical lead for observational research in AMD and glaucoma. You will integrate clinical, imaging, and genetic data, shape endpoints and data collection tools, and support quality assurance across sites.

You’ll also collaborate with data science and genetics teams to define disease-progression phenotypes and translate findings into clinically meaningful conclusions, while reviewing prescreening charts and imaging to inform workflow evolution.

Qualifications

• MD or DO with ophthalmology residency completed.
• Board certification and/or retina or glaucoma fellowship training a plus.
• 1–3+ years of clinical, academic, or industry research in ophthalmology.
• Experience reviewing clinical, imaging, and genetic data preferred.
• Knowledge of GCP/ICH guidelines.

Responsibilities

• Review clinical, imaging, and genetic data across AMD and glaucoma cohorts, and help shape study design, data collection tools, and grading conventions as the datasets grow.
• Weigh in on data audits and quality checks, resolving discrepancies and recommending fixes to protect data integrity.
• Review trial eligibility during prescreening — using both technology-assisted identification and manual chart/imaging review — documenting your reasoning and helping keep decisions consistent across reviewers and sites; help refine the eligibility criteria and screening workflow over time.
• Bring clinical judgment to the data science team's analytic work on large natural history datasets — helping prioritize questions and interpret results against real-world disease behavior.
• Author or review study protocols, informed consent forms, and related documentation; support regulatory submissions and IRB/EC materials with medical and scientific rationale.
• Serve as the retina/glaucoma subject-matter voice in cross-functional meetings, and attend site or PI meetings as needed.
• Run advisory boards with outside key opinion leaders, stay current on the retina/glaucoma landscape, and contribute to publications, abstracts, and conference presentations.

Job description

Part-time, contract (~3 days / 24 hours per week). Hybrid or remote, with occasional travel (roughly monthly or less) to sites, meetings, and partners.

About the Role

This role acts as the medical and scientific lead for the Company's observational research in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma. You'll work with the study team, site investigators, and outside experts to make sense of clinical, imaging, and genetic data, sharpen study endpoints, and support data quality. You'll also partner with the Company's data science and genetics groups to define disease-progression phenotypes and turn findings into clinically meaningful conclusions, and you'll serve as a clinical reviewer on the prescreening side — combining tech-assisted patient identification with hands-on chart and imaging review as that process continues to evolve.

What You'll Do

• Review clinical, imaging, and genetic data across AMD and glaucoma cohorts, and help shape study design, data collection tools, and grading conventions as the datasets grow.
• Weigh in on data audits and quality checks, resolving discrepancies and recommending fixes to protect data integrity.
• Review trial eligibility during prescreening — using both technology-assisted identification and manual chart/imaging review — documenting your reasoning and helping keep decisions consistent across reviewers and sites; help refine the eligibility criteria and screening workflow over time.
• Bring clinical judgment to the data science team's analytic work on large natural history datasets — helping prioritize questions and interpret results against real-world disease behavior.
• Author or review study protocols, informed consent forms, and related documentation; support regulatory submissions and IRB/EC materials with medical and scientific rationale.
• Serve as the retina/glaucoma subject-matter voice in cross-functional meetings, and attend site or PI meetings as needed.
• Run advisory boards with outside key opinion leaders, stay current on the retina/glaucoma landscape, and contribute to publications, abstracts, and conference presentations.

What We're Looking For

• MD or DO with completed ophthalmology residency; board certification and/or retina or glaucoma fellowship training a plus.
• 1-3+ years of relevant clinical, academic, or industry research experience in ophthalmology, with recognized depth in retina and/or glaucoma.
• Comfortable reviewing clinical, imaging, and/or genetic data at scale, ideally with some exposure to eligibility review, chart/imaging review, or patient identification workflows.
• Working knowledge of GCP/ICH guidelines.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and analytical/organizational skills; fluent in English.
• Able to travel domestically roughly 20% of the time.
