- Partner with Biostatistics, Clinical Data Management, and Medical Safety on signal detection methodology and dashboard logic
- Partner with cloud/data engineering teams to translate clinical/safety reporting needs into technical requirements (data model, refresh cadence, query performance) for dashboard consumption
- Develop a robust talent development plan in alignment with functional growth strategies of the department
- Develop and deliver comprehensive presentations and written communications on clinical operations and study developments to stakeholders and management
- Identify issues and collaborate with appropriate team members to bring to resolution; determine root cause; recommend and lead the implementation of corrective actions, complex process development and process improvement solutions to optimize strategic imperatives
