Scientific Project Manager - Future Opportunities

Position Overview

While this position is not currently open, we are always looking for top talent in this field to join our network for upcoming contract awards and future growth. Digital Infuzion’s Project Managers help translate mission-driven clinical research objectives into executable plans - aligning cross-functional teams across clinical, technical, and operational domains. This role supports federal research clients by driving scope, schedule, and resource coordination while maintaining a clear line of sight to compliance, quality, and stakeholder expectations. Candidates with clinical research exposure, and especially NIH familiarity, tend to ramp quickly and add immediate value.

Job Responsibilities

• Manage project planning and execution for clinical research and/or clinical research IT initiatives, ensuring alignment to scope, schedule, and quality expectations.
• Support delivery of contract workstreams by coordinating team activities, tracking deliverables, and maintaining integrated project schedules.
• Facilitate routine project ceremonies (kickoffs, standups, status reviews, risk/issue reviews) and document decisions, actions, and outcomes.
• Partner with functional leads to support resource forecasting (labor planning, onboarding timing, coverage planning) and anticipate capacity constraints.
• Career development support such as contributing to proposal inputs (e.g., staffing plans, schedules, risk assumptions, past performance narratives) and participating in capture/delivery handoffs.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience supporting clinical research and/or clinical research informatics environments (e.g., clinical trials, observational studies, research operations, clinical data systems).
• 3+ years of project management experience delivering projects involving cross-functional teams (clinical + technical/IT + operations preferred).
• Experience supporting federal government clients and working within contract-driven delivery expectations (e.g., performance requirements, deliverable tracking).
• Familiarity with clinical research regulations and quality expectations (e.g., GCP awareness, documentation discipline; 21 CFR Part 11 familiarity is a plus).
• A master’s degree in a life sciences field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience, would be considered.
• NIH experience is a strong plus (direct NIH support, NIH-funded research, or NIH-aligned clinical research environments).
