We are looking for a Clinical Project Manager (CPM) to lead clinical research projects (interventional / non-interventional clinical studies) as well as IT-related initiatives.

Candidates located in or around major metropolitan areas such as Boston, Chicago, Dallas, New York City, Philadelphia, or Washington, D.C. are preferred, but other locations within these time zones will also be considered. Travel is not primarily planned but may be a necessary option within a project and cannot be ruled out.
