Job Summary:

As Junior Study Designer you will be responsible for a multitude of tasks. To start, your primary focus will be assisting with the construction of forms and workflow solutions designed to capture clinical trial data. You will also be focused on the “user experience” for both clients and end-users. However, as every clinical trial is different this role will continue to present new challenges and opportunities to improve. As you become more familiar with the systems you’ll be introduced to the more complex aspects of study design, and as you become more proficient you’ll be able to take on more responsibility in the design process

We are looking for a passionate and outgoing individual who is excited to work for a company where he or she can make a real difference. The ideal candidate will be able to work with autonomy and handle a broad scope of responsibility with minimal management or guidance. We develop cutting-edge clinical trial software, so security and reliability are both crucial. He or she must also be highly detail-oriented, and it is essential that the candidate has a familiarity with mobile, web, and desktop technology. That being said, many of the tools we use were developed in-house and will require training.

• Ability to think critically and strategically, with a strong attention to detail
• Superior written and verbal communication skills required; must be able to communicate and relay information effectively with clients, development team, and end-users
• Capable of working both in a dynamic team environment and with a sense of autonomy on personal projects
