Job Responsibilities Clinical Project Manager II - Virology Sponsor Dedicated | Remote (US) (Preference for Hybrid Foster City, CA-Based Candidates) Are you a Clinical Project Manager who can independently drive global Phase II-III clinical trials from start-up through closeout - while also staying deeply engaged in the operational details that keep studies running successfully day to day? This is an opportunity to join a highly collaborative, fast-paced clinical operations team supporting innovative virology programs within a sponsor-dedicated environment. The team is specifically seeking a hands-on operational leader - someone who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, navigating complex study execution challenges directly, and operating far beyond high-level oversight alone. The ideal candidate is someone who genuinely enjoys being "in the weeds" operationally. You should be comfortable actively reviewing study documentation, managing operational trackers, troubleshooting systems and processes, partnering closely with CROs and regional leads, and driving execution across all facets of study operations. This is not a purely strategic oversight role. The team is looking for someone who understands what strong operational execution looks like because they have personally done the work themselves. While virology experience is strongly preferred, candidates with strong global Phase II-III clinical trial management experience in other therapeutic areas will also be considered. This team values operational excellence, accountability, collaboration, urgency, adaptability, and proactive problem-solving. Leadership is highly supportive, mentorship-focused, and invested in helping strong performers expand their impact and career trajectory. While remote/home-based candidates may be considered, priority will be given to candidates located in or near Foster City, California, with the ability to work onsite 2-3 days per week.
