• Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and ability to translate complex operational questions into data-driven solutions; and,
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical, operational, and clinical teams.

Additional Considerations

This is a unique opportunity to join a newly formed team and help define how Clinical Informatics supports study execution across Medpace. The successful candidate should be prepared to contribute immediately to technical deliverables while also building leadership practices, team structure, and scalable processes for a function expected to continue evolving over the next several years.
