Lead Clinical Data Manager
Fresh Prints
ROLE OVERVIEW
The Lead Clinical Data Manager will provide strategic and operational leadership for clinical data management activities across Phase 2/3 clinical programs in rare disease and neonatology. Operating within a fully outsourced model, this individual will serve as the sponsor subject matter expert responsible for overseeing external vendors, ensuring data quality and integrity, and supporting regulatory submissions.
The successful candidate will partner closely with Clinical Operations, Biostatistics, Medical, Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, and external CROs to ensure timely delivery of high-quality clinical data in support of global development programs. Experience managing complex studies in vulnerable populations, including pediatric patients, is highly desirable.
For a small biotech, this role requires an individual who is comfortable being very hands-on despite the "lead" title: the individual will serve as strategist, vendor manager, escalation point, and operational reviewer simultaneously, rather than managing a large internal data management team.
