  • Lead and oversee EDC database builds in Medidata Rave, including CRF design, edit checks, derivations, code lists, user roles, and integrations, ensuring alignment with protocol requirements and industry best practices.

  • Translate Medidata system updates and enhancements into clear, actionable guidance and training for study teams.
  • Act as a primary liaison between key stakeholders, ensuring alignment on EDC design, build standards, timelines, and issue resolution.
  • Act as a liaison between Data Management and Statistical Programming to ensure data collection strategies support downstream analysis, reporting, and regulatory submission requirements.
  • Collaborate with business owners of other Medidata applications (e.g., Coder, Safety Gateway, CTMS,, eCOA, Imaging) to support integrated data workflows and a cohesive clinical data ecosystem.
  • Experience with integrating non Medidata systems such as RBQM, CTMS, IRT, and data cleaning tools with Medidata.
  • Provide ongoing consultation on EDC best practices, system capabilities, and process improvements to support high-quality, compliant clinical trial execution.
