Clinical Operations Lead

The Role

IVD Study Launch & Project Control

We are growing and seeking to build our leadership team with another load-bearing operator who can keep projects on track and overcome the challenges that both development and clinical studies entail.

How We Work

RDI is highly data-driven, but not bureaucratic. We do not need every possible data point before making a decision. We need the right data quickly, the judgment to separate signal from noise, and the discipline to know which decisions require more evidence and which can be made now.

The Work

• Translate protocol and scope into a real execution plan
• Identify and activate the right sites
• Make sure site qualification and startup files are complete
• Drive SIV readiness
• Coordinate kits, sample logistics, lab workflows, EDC, monitoring, and data needs
• Make sure Salesforce, trackers, and project tools reflect reality
• Identify timeline, scope, budget, and client-commitment risks early
• Escalate issues before they become fire drills
• Keep client-facing deliverables moving
• Make sure project status is evidence-backed, not just verbally reported

We Are Looking For

• Has run multiple studies from pre-submission through closeout
• Has the individual expertise and experience to do the underlying work themselves, and the judgment to know when to delegate versus step in directly
• Can manage across clinical, lab, data, site, vendor, and client workflows
• Can quickly identify what data matters and what does not
• Makes project reality visible before it becomes a problem
• Has experience working in or managing a clinical lab, which is a strong plus
