Marketing & Partnerships Manager

RDI•Los Angeles, CA

3d•$85,000 - $110,000•Onsite

About The Position

RDI Trials is hiring a Marketing & Partnerships Manager to build relationships with prospective client companies, physicians who may participate in studies, and potential team members. Working directly with the CEO, the manager will learn how the business operates and use that understanding to create content, conduct outreach, and develop qualified conversations. The role owns the process from identifying people to contact through establishing interest and arranging next steps. This is a full-time, onsite role in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. It is a dedicated external outreach and marketing position that reports to the CEO, with no direct reports initially. The manager will build and execute the function independently. Study teams retain responsibility for protocol execution, detailed site qualification, contracts, regulatory documents, and activation; the manager learns enough about these activities to represent RDI accurately and make useful introductions. Success means developing a growing flow of qualified client discussions, interested physician partners, and suitable candidates, while tracking which content and outreach approaches contribute to those outcomes. Applicants should provide a résumé and two examples of work they personally created or led, explaining the target audience, actions taken, and results. Backgrounds may include marketing, business development, partnerships, community building, recruiting, or agency work. Clinical research experience is helpful but not required; candidates must be willing to learn a technical business.
