About the role

As a Clinical Program Manager, you will be the main driver behind two types of activities: managing Empatica's internal efforts in the clinical space, and monitoring and coordinating the data acquisition work in multi-center clinical studies. You will oversee the project management of research projects with our highest-profile pharmaceutical clients, and be the main point of contact responsible for ensuring the overall success of the project.

Working together with the rest of the Clinical Operations team, you will:

• Oversee and drive the successful execution of ground-breaking research projects
• Coordinate the efforts of multiple stakeholders (data scientists from Empatica, pharma companies, clinical researchers) and keep everyone aligned and on schedule
• Hold frequent check-ins with the client, representing Empatica among its highest-tier research and business clients
• Ultimately, improve people's lives, via ensuring the successful delivery of new therapeutics and diagnostics

Important note:

• This position will be based in our Boston office, with flexible options for partial at-home work.

Requirements

As the ideal candidate for this position you have:

• A strong academic background, preferably in science. A firm understanding of novel health technologies is mandatory

• Solid technical and practical expertise in leading complex operational and strategic projects
• A firm sense of accountability, with a natural inclination for effective prioritization
• A pragmatic and execution mindset

Previous experience in clinical operations is not mandatory, but it is a plus (e.g. biomedical research administration or healthcare, bioengineering background, knowledge of bioethics, etc.).

You and Empatica would be a perfect match if you are:

• A very quick learner
• Fun and easy to work with
• A hard-worker and collaborative
• A doer, with an excellent execution mindset
• An outstanding planner, with excellent time management and multitasking skills
