Description:

We're looking for a Forward-Deployed Clinical Operations Subject Matter Expert to join our Forward Deployed team, working onsite with pharma and biotech partners alongside our engineers. Your job: ensure our AI agents produce clinical trial outputs that are operationally sound, protocol ready, and aligned with how clinical teams actually run studies.

You'll evaluate agent performance on clinical trial design tasks, work with our partners' clinical operations and development teams to identify where AI can streamline their workflows, and bring real-world trial execution knowledge to everything our platform generates. You're the person who knows whether an AI drafted protocol section or study design would hold up to regulatory standards.

This is embedded, partner-facing work. You'll build relationships with clinical leaders, understand their operational constraints and regulatory requirements, and feed that knowledge back to our AI team to improve how our platform reasons about trial design, feasibility, and execution.

This position would ideally sit out of Boston, NYC, or San Francisco; but also flexible for fully remote with 20-40% travel.

Serve as the clinical operations authority on AI-generated outputs, assessing operational feasibility, GCP compliance, and alignment with real-world trial execution

Requirements

5+ years of experience in clinical operations or clinical development within the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry, ideally within a sponsor organization

Strong knowledge of GCP guidelines and regulatory requirements for clinical trial conduct

Familiarity with the end-to-end trial lifecycle from startup through closeout
