Clinical Sample & Logistics Specialist - March Biosciences

Job Description March Biosciences, Inc is a clinical‑stage cell therapy company with a mission to transform patient care in the most challenging hematological malignancies. Its lead Phase II asset is a CAR T‑cell therapy showing high efficacy and safety in a Phase I trial for T‑cell malignancies, diseases with a dismal prognosis that is currently unaddressed by targeted immunotherapies. With a pipeline designed to expand on these early breakthroughs, March Biosciences is committed to addressing one of the most challenging areas of oncology and delivering hope to patients in need. Join March Biosciences as we advance MB-105, our CD5 CAR T, through a Phase 2 clinical study. We are seeking a Clinical Sample & Logistics Specialist who will work closely with the Logistics Coordinator (LC), Clinical Trial Manager (CTM), clinical sites, March’s R&D team, and central/specialty laboratories to support day‑to‑day sample management and logistics for our autologous cell therapy trial. Title will be commensurate with level of experience. This role is a blend of logistics coordination, clinical sample management, and entry level CRA/clinical operations support. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities to ensure data integrity and smooth trial execution. Reporting line: This position reports to the Logistics Coordinator (LC). This is a high‑growth, fast paced, small organization. The ability and willingness to “wear many hats” and stretch outside of your specific role to work with a dynamic team to drive our high potential product, MB-105 forward is essential. The ideal candidate is a self‑starter with strong organization skills capable of working with a high degree of autonomy and who is eager to make an impact and grow with us professionally. Responsibilities: Serve as the primary owner for day‑to‑day clinical sample management and reconciliation across all participating sites and labs, including cross‑checking samples against protocol/schedule of assessment requirements, reconciling shipment logs and lab inventories, and ensuring all central, specialty, and exploratory samples are accurately tracked. Prepare Schedule of Assessment (SOA) based email reminder communications to ensure timely sample collection, processing, and shipping. Support the LC with courier/vendor management, shipment tracking, and resolution/escalation of real‑time logistics issues for apheresis, infusions, and support all clinical sample shipments. Maintain and update sample trackers, dashboards, and documentation (including central/specialty lab, and any exploratory research samples), proactively investigating and resolving discrepancies (missed collections, shipment gaps, incorrect visit dates) through direct coordination with clinical sites, laboratories, and CRO partners. Support EDC reconciliation / spot‑checking focused on sample‑related data fields to ensure consistency between source, shipment date, and entered records. Participate in biweekly site meetings (supporting role) to review schedules, and address sample‑related or logistics issues. Assist CTM/LC with operational deliverables and logistics documentation (shipping records, lab manuals, sample logs) and provide routine status updates on sample progress, outstanding reconciliations, and risks requiring escalation. May support tracking of monitoring visit outcomes and follow‑up items where applicable (monitoring report review experience is a plus but not required). Qualifications: BA/BS in life sciences or equivalent college program, and/or relevant experience in sample management, clinical operations, or a related field. 2+ years of experience in scheduling, planning, or operational coordination within pharma/biotech, healthcare, or clinical research settings. Hands‑on experience with clinical sample management, central/specialty labs, or courier/logistics processes strongly preferred. Familiarity with EDC systems and basic clinical data review is a plus. Strong understanding of CP/ICH guidelines and cross‑functional clinical processes (e.g., data management, safety, QA). Excellent communication, customer service, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a cross‑functional team. Proven troubleshooting, critical thinking, and decision making skills. Ability to work independently in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail. Proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially Excel) and experience with spreadsheets, and trackers. Candidates must be based in Houston, TX.
