About the Role
We are seeking a versatile and adaptable professional to join our dynamic Medical Affairs team. In this cross-functional position, you will serve as a vital link between our internal clinical research operations, customer-sponsored projects through MIMOSA Labs, and our broader medical affairs strategy. You will take ownership of our clinical data systems, oversee research ethics and study coordination activities, and build the foundational project management infrastructure required to optimize our team's workflows.
This role is ideal for an ambitious clinical research professional looking to broaden their expertise and make a tangible impact within a lean, fast-paced organization. If you excel at building systems and are eager to gain direct exposure to Medical Affairs activities, including scientific exchange, advisory panel coordination, and Key Opinion Leader (KOL) engagement, this role offers a unique platform to accelerate your career, expand your skillset, and make a tangible impact.
Key Responsibilities• Research Coordination and Account Management: Serve as the central coordinator between investigators, cross-functional teams, external sites and MIMOSA Labs clients to ensure timely study execution.

- Data Quality Assurance: Build Case Report Forms (CRFs), conduct routine data audits, and ensure clinical data accuracy, integrity, and consistency.
- Funding and Grant Administration: Manage administrative reporting, tracking, and compliance for research funding supporting our clinical evidence initiatives.
- Regulatory and Ethics: Lead ethics activities by preparing and submitting REB/IRB applications, including drafting study protocols and Informed Consent Forms (ICFs).
- Contracting and Budgeting: Oversee research account management by tracking study budgets, managing academic collaborator payments, and supporting clinical trial agreement (CTA) development.
- Clinical Data Analysis: Support clinical data abstraction, outcomes analysis, and the synthesis of complex clinical data into actionable insights.
- Medical Affairs and MSL Support: Coordinate logistics, prepare scientific materials, and document insights for medical advisory boards. Gain MSL exposure by supporting scientific exchange and relationship-building with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and key external stakeholders.
- Project Management and System Development: Design, implement, and maintain project management systems and workflows (utilizing tools like Smartsheet, Monday.com, or Excel trackers) to monitor study milestones, deliverables, and team activities.
- Executive Reporting: Proven experience using business intelligence and data visualization platforms (e.g., Tableau, PowerBI) to translate raw EDC or client telemetry into interactive, executive-ready dashboards.
Required Skills and Experience• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, Health Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy, or a related scientific discipline (a Master’s degree or advanced clinical training is preferred).
- Experience: 5 to 7 years of progressive experience in clinical research coordination, medical affairs operations, or a closely related field. Prior experience working within a fast-paced medical device startup environment is a significant asset.
- Operational Expertise: Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder research programs or multi-institutional research operations on time and within budget.
- Regulatory Knowledge: Strong familiarity with regulatory compliance and ethical standards, such as ICH-GCP, TCPS 2, or FDA guidelines.
- Soft Skills: A proven collaborator with excellent interpersonal, communication, and time-management skills who thrives in a self-directed and dynamic environment.
- Technical Proficiency: Hands-on experience configuring and managing EDC systems. Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Monday.com, advanced Excel) and a working knowledge of data analysis software (e.g., SPSS) and reference management tools.
- Statistical Programming Proficiency: Proficiency or hands-on experience with statistical programming languages (such as Python or R) for clinical data manipulation, automated reporting pipelines, and advanced statistical modeling is highly preferred.
