In addition, you'll also:

This is an opportunity to use your experience in the way things are “routinely” done in clinical trial operations to find new ways to approach common inefficiencies. Our team is passionate about pairing technology with streamlined operational support to move the needle on drug development in oncology.

- You are or have been a study manager at a pharmaceutical company or CRO
- You have managed oncology clinical trials representing a life science partner (e.g., life science company or biotech) or a Clinical Research Organization (CRO)
- You have direct experience managing study vendors

- You have a flexible approach to execution; ability to translate/infuse experience, knowledge, and best practices into research deliverables with creative solutions
- You have the ability to work within cross-functional teams and manage multiple simultaneous projects

- You share our commitments to diversity, inclusion, and belonging; You are excited to use your skills to optimize quality in new and innovative ways
- Candidates outside of NYC will be considered provided that they can periodically travel to the NYC office (pending pandemic related health/safety precautions)
If this sounds like you, you'll fit right in at Flatiron.
Extra Credit
