  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work in partnership with Tempus Pharma sequencing, QA, CRO, and Regulatory, external IVD consultants, the drug trial sponsor, and others to provide necessary input and oversight for both internal and external validation work.
  • Study Execution Oversight: Take ownership of the day-to-day management and execution of regulatory-grade CDx clinical studies for major partners.
  • Regulatory & Quality Compliance: Ensure all clinical validation activities meet the requirements for running clinical device studies, including adherence to GCP and regulatory scrutiny.
  • Project Management: Manage project deliveries, ensuring timely completion and appropriate resourcing to meet agreed-upon timelines.

Qualifications
  • A Ph.D. or Masters in a relevant discipline is highly preferred, though equivalent professional experience will be considered.
  • 5 years of demonstrated experience in IVD or medical device development with a minimum of 2 years of experience in clinical study design and execution.
  • Experience with GCP-grade study setup, monitoring, and reporting, including understanding of trial master file documentation and FDA strategies.
  • Proven ability to understand biostatistics strategy and help craft strategic workplans and Statistical Analysis Plans (SAPs) with support from SMEs (biostatistics, IVD consultants) as needed.
  • Familiarity with the distinct requirements and complexities of CDx clinical development, including clinical validation strategies and ensuring that studies are conducted and documented in accordance with good clinical practices and other applicable regulatory requirements.
  • Ability to facilitate clear communication and coordinate resources across internal (Pharma sequencing, QA, CRO, Regulatory, others) and external (IVD consultants, the drug trial sponsor).

$120,000-$165,000
