Job Responsibilities
Senior Clinical Project Manager - Inflammation / Phase 2b
Sponsor Dedicated | Remote (U.S.-Based)
Preference for Hybrid Foster City, CA-Based Candidates
Are you a senior clinical operations professional who knows how to independently lead complex global clinical trials from start-up through closeout - while still staying deeply connected to the operational details that drive execution success?
This is a highly visible opportunity supporting large-scale global Phase 2b inflammation programs within a sponsor-dedicated environment, as a U.S.-based Global Study Lead. These pivotal programs span North America, Europe, APAC, Japan, and China, offering the opportunity to lead large-scale international clinical trials with significant visibility and impact.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Clinical Project Manager / Global Study Lead with a proven track record of leading pivotal global Phase 2b studies and driving trial execution with minimal oversight. Operating within a small, highly collaborative team, the successful candidate will bring demonstrated experience leading complex global programs, driving cross-functional accountability, navigating operational challenges, and delivering results in a matrixed environment.
This role is ideal for a seasoned clinical project leader who thrives in a high-ownership environment, is comfortable making critical decisions, influencing stakeholders, and taking full accountability for the successful delivery of global clinical trials.
**While remote/home-based candidates may be considered, priority will be given to candidates located in or near Foster City, California, with the ability to work onsite 2-3 days per week.**
