You will also participate in software vendor selection, conduct EDC demonstrations and trainings, and contribute to the development and maintenance of Standard Operating Procedures related to data management and database activities.
Additional responsibilities include project forecasting, resource planning, budget management, identifying out-of-scope work, and presenting software demonstrations and training sessions. You will work closely with Data Management, Project Management, EDC vendors, clients, and third-party vendors to ensure regulatory compliance and gather requirements.
