What is freelance clinical data coding?

Freelance clinical data coding involves independently assigning standardized codes to medical diagnoses, procedures, and clinical information collected during clinical trials or research studies. Clinical data coders use coding systems such as MedDRA or WHO Drug Dictionary to ensure data consistency and regulatory compliance. As freelancers, they typically work remotely for pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations, or healthcare institutions, providing flexible support for clinical research projects. Their work is essential for accurate data analysis, reporting, and regulatory submissions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Freelance Clinical Data Coder, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Freelance Clinical Data Coder, you need a strong understanding of medical terminology, clinical documentation, and coding standards (such as ICD-10 and CPT), often supported by certification like CCS or CPC. Familiarity with coding software, electronic health records (EHR) systems, and data management tools is typically required. Strong attention to detail, self-motivation, and effective communication skills help ensure accuracy and client satisfaction in remote settings. These skills are critical to producing compliant, error-free coding that supports proper billing, reporting, and healthcare decision-making.

What are some common challenges freelancers face when working in clinical data coding, and how can they be addressed?

Freelance clinical data coders often encounter challenges such as staying updated with evolving medical coding standards and ensuring data accuracy across multiple client systems. Additionally, they may face difficulties in accessing sufficient training or support, and managing varying workflows from different organizations. To address these issues, freelancers can invest in continuous education, join professional associations, and utilize coding resources and forums to stay current. Building strong communication channels with clients also helps clarify project expectations and maintain high-quality deliverables.

Repertoire Immune Medicines

Cambridge, MA • On-site

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Retirement

Posted 18 days ago

Job description

Repertoire Immune Medicines is a clinical-stage biotechnology company harnessing the power of the human immune system to develop transformative therapies for cancer and autoimmune disease. Using its proprietary DECODETM platform—which maps the immune synapse between T cell receptors (TCRs) and their antigen targets—Repertoire translates unique biological insights into potent, targeted immune medicines. The company integrates deep protein engineering expertise and has established collaborations with several leading pharmaceutical companies, including Bristol Myers Squibb, Genentech, Eli Lilly, and Pfizer.
Repertoire is advancing a pipeline of TCR bispecific immunotherapies with the potential to address a broad range of cancers and autoimmune disorders. The company’s lead oncology program, RPTR-1-201, a TCR bispecific, is currently in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial across multiple solid tumor indications. Repertoire plans to advance additional TCR bispecific therapies into clinical trials over the next 12–18 months. The Senior Clinical Data Manager will play a central role in supporting these programs.
Position Summary
The Senior Clinical Data Manager will lead clinical data management activities for Repertoire-sponsored clinical trials from trial start-up through database lock, archival, and regulatory submission support. This individual will provide hands-on data management expertise and sponsor oversight of CROs and third-party vendors, partnering closely with Clinical Operations, Clinical Development, Safety, Regulatory, Translational Medicine, and external vendors to ensure timely, accurate, complete, and inspection-ready clinical trial data in accordance with GCP, ICH guidelines, applicable regulatory requirements, data privacy requirements, and Repertoire SOPs.
The ideal candidate brings deep CDM expertise, sound judgment in identifying and escalating data quality risks, and the ability to translate protocol requirements into practical data collection and review strategies. This is a role for someone who operates with high ownership and follow-through, thrives in a lean, fast-moving biotech environment, and is deeply committed to patient safety, data integrity, and regulatory-quality trial execution.
The successful candidate will thrive in a highly collaborative team environment and work within a flexible hybrid model.  Local employees are expected to work on-site in our Cambridge office two to three days per week, while non-local employees should expect to travel to the office at least twice per month.  
Key Responsibilities
Trial Leadership & Data Management
  • Develop and maintain key data management documents, including the Data Management Plan, eCRF specifications, completion guidelines, edit check specifications, data validation plan, data transfer specifications, external data reconciliation plans, medical coding plan, and database lock plan.
  • Establish and track data management timelines, deliverables, milestones, risks, and mitigation plans; provide regular updates to management.
  • Oversee and provide hands-on review of Medidata Rave eCRF design, database build, edit checks, testing, UAT, go-live, change control, and database lock activities, including approval of database change requests during study conduct.
  • Ensure eCRF design and database structure support protocol requirements, efficient data cleaning, SDTM mapping, and regulatory submission readiness; apply CDASH principles and maintain alignment with CDISC standards (SDTM, ADaM).
  • Oversee data cleaning and lead cross-functional data review — including adverse events, serious adverse events, concomitant medications, laboratory data, exposure, dose modifications, tumor assessments, and protocol deviations — to ensure data are accurate, complete, traceable, and available in support of safety surveillance, regulatory reporting, and clinical decision-making.
External Data, Vendor Oversight & Compliance
  • Serve as primary point of contact and provide sponsor oversight of CRO data management activities and third-party vendors (IRT, central and local laboratory, imaging, safety, PK/PD, biomarker, genomic, and specialty testing), ensuring deliverables meet Repertoire quality expectations and align with protocol requirements, data standards, regulatory expectations, and study timelines.
  • Monitor CRO and vendor performance metrics (query aging, data cleaning, external data transfers, reconciliation, coding, database lock readiness) and escalate data quality, timeline, or vendor performance issues as needed.
  • Oversee medical coding (MedDRA, WHODrug) and risk-based data quality review through listings, dashboards, metrics, trend analyses, and issue escalation.
  • Ensure data management activities comply with GCP, ICH guidelines, FDA and global regulatory requirements, GDPR, HIPAA, and Repertoire SOPs; champion data integrity, traceability, and inspection readiness across all data management deliverables.
  • Maintain Trial Master File documentation; support audits, inspections, and regulatory submissions; and lead or participate in process improvement initiatives that enhance data quality, efficiency, and scalability across clinical trials.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, health sciences, computer science, data science, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 7 years of clinical data management experience in industry-sponsored clinical trials, with significant hands-on study lead experience from study start-up through database lock.
  • Experience providing sponsor oversight of CROs and third-party vendors, including external data transfer specifications, reconciliation, and data cleaning metrics.
  • Hands-on experience with Medidata Rave, including eCRF design review, edit check review, UAT, query management, data exports, user access review, and database change control.
  • Strong understanding of clinical data management practices, GCP, ICH guidelines, FDA requirements, and related global regulatory expectations.
  • Working knowledge of CDISC standards (CDASH, SDTM, ADaM) and how database design supports downstream SDTM mapping and regulatory submission readiness.
  • Experience with MedDRA and WHODrug coding oversight.
  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage timelines, deliverables, risks, issues, and cross-functional communication.
  • Experience supporting oncology trials, including RECIST-based tumor assessments, prior therapies, PK/PD, immunogenicity, biomarkers, and central imaging data preferred.
The base salary for this role ranges from $131,000 to $187,000 and is determined based on a candidate’s skills, experience, and internal equity. In addition to a competitive base salary, Repertoire offers a broad range of benefits designed to attract, retain, and motivate top talent, including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, flexible time off, a 401(k) retirement plan, and short- and long-term incentive opportunities. Compensation and benefits are based on Repertoire’s good faith estimate at the time of publication and may be updated in the future.
 
Repertoire is committed to building an inclusive culture.  Much as the power of the immune system lies in the diversity of T and B cells, we believe our best work comes from a diverse workforce—and we are committed to pursuing that in all facets of the work experience.
Repertoire is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Recruitment & Staffing Agencies: Repertoire Immune Medicines (“Repertoire”) does not accept unsolicited resumes from any source other than candidates. The submission of unsolicited resumes by recruitment or staffing agencies to Repertoire or its employees is strictly prohibited unless contacted directly by Repertoire’s internal Human Resources team.
