• Lead cross-functional collaboration among client stakeholders, study teams, localization specialists, technology teams, copyright holders, vendors, and other internal and external partners.
• Assess the availability and readiness of questionnaires, translations, licenses, and supporting assets before translation and eCOA migration activities begin.
• Coordinate copyright licensing, source-content review, translation preparation, multilingual deliverables, content modifications, and version-management activities.
• Oversee automation-enabled eCOA questionnaire migrations and evaluate outputs for linguistic, formatting, technical, and content-readiness issues.
• Identify and document migration defects, support root-cause analysis, recommend corrective actions, and provide structured feedback to technology teams.
• Monitor project quality, timelines, review cycles, productivity, and stakeholder satisfaction through dashboards and status reporting.
• Maintain complete, accurate, version-controlled, and audit-ready project documentation within approved SharePoint and document-management systems.
• Identify opportunities to reduce bottlenecks, improve content reuse, shorten migration timelines, reduce manual effort, and standardize processes.
• Support the validation and implementation of automation, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies used in localization and eCOA delivery.
• Provide project leadership and guidance to cross-functional contributors while promoting quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Your Profile:

• Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences, Languages, Translation, Clinical Research, Healthcare Administration, Project Management, or a related discipline.
• At least five years of relevant experience in clinical localization, clinical operations, clinical technology, or project management within a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, CRO, or related environment.
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple concurrent projects, timelines, risks, deliverables, and cross-functional stakeholders in a fast-paced, matrix environment.
• Strong understanding of multilingual content development, translation, and localization workflows.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder-management, organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with strong attention to detail.
• Experience using SharePoint, document-management systems, collaboration platforms, and project-tracking tools.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and maintain complete, accurate, and audit-ready project documentation.
• Direct experience with Clinical Outcome Assessments, electronic Clinical Outcome Assessments, and questionnaire migration projects is highly preferred.
• Experience with copyright licensing, content acquisition, translation preparation, and version-management processes is highly preferred.
• Familiarity with eCOA platforms, localization technologies, translation-management systems, or comparable clinical technologies is preferred.
