What You’ll Be a Part Of

You’ll join a team that values both precision and people.

This isn’t an extreme-volume work queue environment where quality gets sacrificed for speed. Our analysts are trusted professionals who work collaboratively, support one another, and have the space to do work the right way.

On our team, you can expect:

• A collaborative group of analysts - you won’t be working in isolation
• A team invested in continuous improvement, shared knowledge, and best practices
• Leadership that prioritizes building trust, keeping an open door, and giving everyone a voice - balancing high expectations with flexibility and respect for life outside of work
• Work that directly impacts research sites and makes trials more feasible and sustainable

It is anticipated that this position will grow into a full time, contracts focused role, at which time budget assignments may be eliminated.
