Your Role:
Project Lead Data Manager
As a Project Lead Data Manager, you will serve as a technical authority and strategic leader in achieving our global clinical data management objectives. In this role, you will be responsible for advancing the end-to-end technical lifecycle of clinical studies, ensuring that data capture, management, and archival processes are executed with precision across both electronic and paper-based systems. By collaborating closely with cross-functional partners in Clinical Development, Biostatistics, and Regulatory Affairs, you will guide data management strategies that result in the on-target delivery of submission-ready databases, ensuring all deliverables meet rigorous quality standards and are fully compliant with regulatory requirements and Good Clinical Practice (GxP) guidelines.
Your Responsibilities:
  • Lead the end-to-end technical lifecycle of clinical data management for assigned projects, from initial Case Report Form (CRF) design and database build to final database lock and archival.

  • Author and maintain comprehensive Study Data Management Plans (DMPs) and Data Validation Specifications (DVS) to ensure alignment with study protocols and regulatory requirements.

  • Drive data integrity through robust data cleaning strategies and ensure all technical Data Management (DM) activities are validated and executed against regulatory requirements (including Good Clinical Practice - GxP) and internal SOPs.

  • Manage technical deliverables from Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and third-party vendors, ensuring adherence to Elanco's quality standards and project timelines.

  • Educate and advocate for Data Management (DM) policies and procedures with both internal and external stakeholders.

  • Coach and mentor junior Data Management colleagues, fostering a positive and collaborative team environment.

What You Need to Succeed (minimum qualifications):
  • Education: Bachelor's degree (BS) or equivalent in a scientific field, or relevant work experience in animal health or a related industry.

  • Experience: A minimum of 5 years in Clinical Data Management, with proven experience supporting global Research & Development (R&D) initiatives.

  • Leadership & Adaptability: Demonstrated leadership skills with the ability to work effectively within interdisciplinary teams, showing high levels of adaptability, flexibility, and learning agility in a fast-paced environment.

Technical Skills:
  • EDC & Database Lifecycle: Advanced proficiency in Electronic Data Capture (EDC) platforms and a thorough understanding of the clinical database development lifecycle, including design, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and lock procedures.

  • Data Management Documentation: Proven ability to author and manage essential Data Management (DM) documents, including Data Management Plans (DMPs) and Data Validation Specifications (DVS).

  • Data Quality: Expertise in data cleaning methodologies, query management, and the oversight of data integrity within a Good Clinical Practice (GxP) environment.

What will give you a competitive edge (preferred qualifications):
  • Direct experience with clinical trial data for regulatory authority submissions (e.g., FDA, EMA).

  • Advanced knowledge of modern Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems and data visualization tools.

  • Previous experience in clinical study monitoring or formal project management.

Additional Information:
  • Travel: 10% or less on an annual basis.

  • Location: This is a hybrid role based at our Global Elanco Headquarters in Indianapolis, IN.
