  • Ensure compliance with data governance frameworks and evolving regulatory requirements.

Candidate Requirements:

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, or related discipline.

  • Experience: Minimum of 4 years in clinical data management and acquisition (preferably in the BioPharma industry); ideal candidates will have over 7 years of relevant experience.
