4d•$20 - $22•Remote

About The Position

This limited-term contract role is designed for someone early in their career who wants hands-on exposure to clinical research, healthcare operations, or data-related work. You do not need prior clinical research experience; we’ll train you on the systems, processes, and priorities you’ll need to be successful. As an EDC Specialist, Limited Term, you’ll support sponsor-facing clinical trial work through accurate, timely data entry and related operational tasks. The day-to-day scope is similar to the full-time version of the role, with a focus on maintaining data quality, following structured processes, and helping the team stay on track during a period of increased trial activity. You’ll likely be a strong fit if you can manage your work accurately, review details carefully, and stay on top of assigned tasks while working independently in a remote environment. This role requires professionalism, communication skills, and attention to detail to do high-quality work without close day-to-day oversight.
