• Ensure data quality and compliance with study requirements (consent, privacy/PII handling, documentation standards)

• • Demonstrated strengths in: time management, budget management, client-facing presentations, attention to detail, and team member management

• • Remote role. Preferred locations: San Francisco Bay Area, Atlanta, GA, New Jersey/NYC (open to other US locations for exceptional candidates)
• • Advanced proficiency across Microsoft Office tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Teams; plus SharePoint/OneDrive as applicable)
