Job Responsibilities

Location: strongly prefer candidates located near our sponsor's Los Angeles office (near Westwood neighborhood/ UCLA campus)

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Project Manager I to join our sponsor-dedicated team supporting high-impact oncology and cell & gene therapy trials, including CAR-T studies. In this role, you will work full-time on behalf of a leading biopharmaceutical sponsor while employed within a global CRO-offering the best of both worlds: sponsor collaboration and CRO resources.

This position focuses on early-phase trial execution, operational oversight, and cross-functional coordination across global study teams. While remote work is supported, we strongly prefer candidates located near our sponsor's Los Angeles office (near Westwood neighborhood/ UCLA campus) to allow for periodic in-office collaboration and faster integration with the sponsor team.

• Act as a sponsor-facing project manager, ensuring the successful execution of assigned CAR-T and gene therapy trials from startup through closeout.

• Lead or support study start-up, site activation, and enrollment, working closely with site monitors, regulatory teams, and contracts personnel.

• Serve as a key point of contact across internal (CRO) and sponsor teams, facilitating regular communications, status reporting, and governance updates.

• Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure timelines, budgets, and milestones are met, particularly in complex, high-touch studies.

• Track and manage protocol compliance, CAPAs, and site-level quality indicators; support resolution of audit findings.

• Ensure inspection readiness and regulatory compliance by overseeing TMF maintenance, data accuracy, and documentation completeness.

• Manage or contribute to the tracking of low-stability endpoint samples and IP-related processes, ensuring timely lab delivery and site support.

• Assist with risk identification and mitigation planning, while continuously optimizing trial execution processes.

• 2-4 years of clinical trial experience, preferably in a CRO setting, with a focus on oncology, rare disease, or gene-modified cell therapy trials.

• Prior involvement in CAR-T or other cell therapy studies is highly desirable.

• Strong familiarity with GCP/ICH guidelines, FDA/EMA regulations, and inspection-readiness standards.

• Experience working in sponsor-dedicated or embedded roles within a CRO is a plus.

• Proficiency in clinical systems (e.g., CTMS, EDC, eTMF) and project management tools.

• Confident in leading sponsor calls, presenting KPIs, and contributing to operational governance.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (Life Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy, etc.) or equivalent work experience.

• Comfortable with remote work but agreeable to occasional in-person collaboration in Los Angeles.

• Work sponsor-side, stay CRO-strong: This sponsor-dedicated role offers the visibility and strategic engagement of working directly with a biotech leader, while maintaining CRO support and infrastructure.

• Advance life-saving research: Be a part of cutting-edge cell and gene therapy trials, helping bring breakthrough therapies to patients faster.

• Grow your career intentionally: Gain exposure to high-impact projects with opportunities to step up into larger roles and leadership paths.

• Collaborate where it counts: Enjoy the flexibility of remote work with access to in-office opportunities that foster deeper team integration and mentorship.

• Be mission-aligned: Work with a team that shares your urgency, attention to detail, and dedication to patients battling cancer and rare diseases.

This role offers the opportunity to do more than manage clinical trials - it's a chance to be at the center of some of the most promising therapeutic advancements in the world. You'll play a critical role in accelerating the development of treatments that could change patients' lives forever.

If you're looking to grow your career while making a real-world impact, we invite you to apply and join a mission that matters.
