Support workflows for image transfer, de-identification, reconciliation, quality control, storage, viewing, measurement, review, archival, and data delivery. Ensure solutions support sponsor, site, reader, adjudicator, medical monitor, and operational management needs across global clinical studies. End-to-End Data Management Consistency Design technology solutions that enable consistent end-to-end data flow across protocol requirements, eCRFs, clinical databases, imaging platforms, assessment applications, operational reports, and sponsor deliverables. Ensure alignment between imaging data, clinical data, assessment results, reader decisions, adjudication outcomes, data exports, and downstream reporting outputs. Identify and mitigate data integrity risks, workflow gaps, traceability issues, duplicate data entry, manual reconciliation burden, and inconsistent endpoint reporting. Partner with Data Management and operational stakeholders to improve data mapping, edit checks, data review workflows, reconciliation processes, and study-specific standards. Support consistent application behavior across sponsor, study, therapeutic area, protocol, and criteria-specific requirements. SDLC, Quality, Validation, and Governance Lead and support all phases of the software development lifecycle, including requirements, solution design, development, testing, validation, UAT, deployment, release management, production support, and continuous improvement. Maintain traceability between protocol requirements, Independent Review Charter requirements, business requirements, functional specifications, technical design, test scripts, validation evidence, and training materials. Develop and maintain SDLC governance materials, technical documentation, SOP and work instruction inputs, training materials, knowledge repositories, and reusable standards. Support risk assessments, impact assessments, root cause analysis, CAPA activities, audit readiness, validation documentation, and regulated change control. Ensure systems and applications align with applicable quality and regulatory expectations, including GxP, GAMP 5, 21 CFR Part 11, ICH-GCP, EU Annex 11, HIPAA, GDPR, and internal quality requirements. Process Improvement and Operational Excellence Lead process improvement initiatives focused on quality, standardization, scalability, operational efficiency, delivery predictability, and reduction of rework. Identify workflow bottlenecks, hidden dependencies, technical debt, single-resource dependencies, knowledge gaps, and application risks that may impact study delivery. Develop reusable development standards, criteria-specific build standards, application templates, testing frameworks, training content, and operational playbooks. Support portfolio-level governance, prioritization, capacity planning, delivery tracking, and leadership reporting for project application development activities. Drive improvements that enable faster study start-up, stronger requirements clarity, consistent delivery, improved data quality, and better sponsor and stakeholder experience. Sponsor, RFI, and Cross-Functional Support Provide technical input for RFIs, sponsor assessments, client audits, demonstrations, solution design discussions, and feasibility reviews. Serve as a senior technical advisor to Production Set-up, Operations, Product, Quality, Data Management, and leadership teams.
