* Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure SOPs accurately reflect workflows and responsibilities.
* Provide ongoing support for GCSO SOP governance, documentation updates, and operational processes.

* Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience engaging cross-functional teams.
* Understanding of clinical study operations—such as Data Management, Risk Management, or Data Standards—is beneficial but

* This is a
manager-level
role; it is not suited for candidates at Associate Director, Director, or higher levels seeking senior leadership positions.

GMP/GLP backgrounds
will not be a match—this role requires
GCP and clinical study experience
