Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Own the full data management lifecycle for global Phase I-III biotech and specialty pharma studies, translating complex protocols into clean, submission-ready databases that regulators trust and patients depend on.
  • • Architect and configure EDC systems (Oracle RDC, Medidata Rave, DataLabs) from scratch—designing eCRFs, setting up edit checks, and writing data validation rules that catch discrepancies before they ever reach biostatistics.
  • • Author and maintain the Data Management Plan, Data Validation Plan, CRF Completion Guidelines, and all associated SOP-compliant documentation; your documents become the single source of truth for cross-functional teams across three continents.
  • • Lead user-acceptance testing (UAT) sessions with clinical operations, biostatistics, and sponsor counterparts; triage and resolve every bug or requirement gap before go-live, ensuring first-patient-in readiness on aggressive timelines.
  • • Drive data cleaning excellence—generate intelligent queries, monitor query aging, and mentor junior data managers on discrepancy resolution tactics that keep database lock dates sacred.
  • • Reconcile high-volume third-party data (central labs, eCOA, imaging, PK) against the CDMS; build automated reconciliation reports that surface outliers within 24 hours of data receipt.
  • • Serve as the primary data management point of contact for FSP sponsors; present weekly metrics, risk-mitigation plans, and strategic recommendations that shape study-level decisions and strengthen long-term partnerships.
  • • Curate the electronic Trial Master File (eTMF) in real time, guaranteeing inspection readiness at every interim analysis and regulatory submission milestone.
  • • Coach, train, and quality-check the work of 3-5 data managers; create reusable macros, SOP addenda, and onboarding checklists that shorten ramp-up time for future studies.
  • • Partner with Project Managers to forecast resourcing, flag scope creep, and negotiate timeline trade-offs so that every deliverable meets both Premier Research quality standards and sponsor expectations.
  • • Champion continuous improvement by piloting new EDC features, participating in vendor user groups, and feeding lessons learned back into the FSP knowledge base.
  • • Contribute to departmental initiatives such as SDTM mapping automation, data review dashboard enhancements, and risk-based monitoring integration—your innovations directly influence Premier’s next-generation data strategy.

🎯 Requirements

  • • Bachelor’s degree (or international equivalent) in a technical, clinical, or health-related discipline; advanced degree or relevant certification (CDM, CCDM, PMP) preferred.
  • • 3–5 years of hands-on experience leading end-to-end data management activities within commercial EDC environments—Oracle RDC, Inform, Medidata Rave, or DataLabs.
  • • Demonstrated mastery of data management planning, CRF/eCRF design, edit check programming, query generation, and database lock procedures in accordance with GCP and 21 CFR Part 11.
  • • Exceptional written and verbal English communication skills; proven ability to present complex data issues to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel pivot tables, Word templates, PowerPoint storyboards) and familiarity with SQL or SAS for ad-hoc data investigations.

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Flexible hybrid working model—split your week between home and our modern Sofia office, with core hours that respect work-life balance.
  • • Annual performance bonus and stock purchase plan that directly link your contributions to Premier’s global success.
  • • Comprehensive private medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and eligible dependents from day one.
  • • Global learning stipend, internal mentorship programs, and paid attendance at leading industry conferences (SCOPE, CDISC, DIA) to accelerate your career trajectory.
