• Collaborative mindset, professionalism, and a commitment to exceptional client service.
• Entrepreneurial mindset, with the initiative to anticipate needs, solve problems, improve processes, and take ownership of work beyond a defined task list.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (eg, MS, PhD, PharmD) in a life sciences or medical field.
• Experience working with small and mid-sized biopharma clients.
• Familiarity with FDA and ICH guidelines and industry best practices.
