Vice President of Patient Recruitment

About Us Lynd Clinical is building a fully owned and operated clinical research network purpose-built for rural and community America. We partner with leading U.S. health systems and regional providers to bring clinical trials directly into the settings where patients already receive care. Our model combines owned site infrastructure with a proprietary AI platform that analyzes longitudinal medical records to identify, screen, and enroll high-quality participants with speed and precision: driving faster enrollment and better trial outcomes for both sponsors and trial participants. The Role The Vice President of Patient Recruitment will build and oversee Lynd's centralized patient recruitment and enrollment function, supporting all current and future research sites across the network. The role exists because patient recruitment is the primary constraint on site performance and study execution, and centralization—enabled by Lynd's technology platform - is the way we create leverage across the network. By combining proven recruitment operations with AI-enabled patient identification and workflow tools, Lynd can improve enrollment performance, create consistency across sites, and scale more effectively. Responsibilities Stand up Lynd's centralized patient recruitment team and define the patient recruitment model that supports all current and future Lynd sites. Own patient recruitment performance across the network, including patient identification, outreach, prescreening, qualification, enrollment conversion, cost per randomized patient, and recruitment cycle times. Partner closely with the VP of Clinical Operations to ensure seamless coordination between centralized recruitment activities and site-level study execution. Partner with the CEO, Interim CPTO, and Director of Engineering to shape Lynd's patient recruitment and screening agent toolsets - from requirements through rollout, feedback loops, and iteration. Define SLAs, workflows, and accountability structures between the centralized recruitment team and Lynd sites. Develop standardized recruitment playbooks, outreach strategies, and enrollment best practices that can be deployed consistently across all Lynd sites. Hire, develop, and scale the central recruitment team to match site growth. What We’re Looking For 5+ years of experience leading patient recruitment within a clinical research site, site network, SMO, CRO, or related clinical research environment. Deep understanding of patient recruitment workflows, site operations, prescreening processes, and enrollment conversion drivers. Proven track record of improving enrollment performance across multiple studies, investigators, sites, or geographies. Experience building and leading centralized recruitment teams and scalable patient recruitment models. Operator who is comfortable being both hands-on in the early innings and building a team behind them. Track record of partnering effectively with technical teams on workflow tools - i.e., the role explicitly is not “managing vendors”; it is co-designing the system. Strong systems thinker capable of helping translate operational bottlenecks and recruitment workflows into scalable software-assisted processes alongside technical leadership. #J-18808-Ljbffr landa
