Job Description

Your job is more than a job

🌟 Help Turn Big Research Ideas Into Real-World Impact

Clinical research takes brilliant investigators and innovative ideas—but it also takes someone who can keep all the moving pieces moving in the same direction.

In this role, you’ll be at the center of clinical research operations, connecting teams across our 8 hospitals, affiliated medical schools, investigators, research teams, finance partners, and leadership.

From coordinating clinical trial initiatives and tracking action plans to supporting research technology, meetings, finances, and regulatory activities, you’ll help build the infrastructure that allows research to grow across our health system.

If you’re the person who loves a good tracker, catches the detail everyone else missed, and somehow always knows what needs to happen next—this could be your role.

💼 What You’ll Do

• Coordinate clinical research projects, meetings, timelines, and follow-up across multiple hospitals and academic partners
• Support investigators and research teams with operational needs, documentation, and study coordination
• Help implement and maintain clinical research systems, including our Clinical Trials Management System and Epic/MyChart research tools
• Maintain trackers, dashboards, action plans, issue logs, and other tools that keep research initiatives moving
• Coordinate research meetings from start to finish—including agendas, materials, minutes, decisions, and follow-up
• Support clinical trial invoice processing, financial tracking, and coordination with finance partners
• Help standardize research workflows, policies, procedures, templates, and training materials across the health system
• Prepare status updates, leadership briefings, reports, and other research documentation
• Coordinate with hospital leaders, investigators, academic partners, research teams, and external stakeholders
• Support system and facility licensure tracking, documentation, renewals, and regulatory follow-up

⚡ What Makes You Great in This Role

• You’re extremely organized and genuinely enjoy keeping track of the details
• You can juggle multiple projects, deadlines, meetings, and stakeholders without losing sight of the big picture
• You’re comfortable following up, asking questions, and keeping projects moving
• You can turn a complicated conversation into a clear action plan
• You communicate confidently with everyone from research teams to senior leadership
• You spot potential roadblocks early and work with the right people to find a solution
• You’re comfortable handling confidential and sensitive information with discretion

🧠 What You Bring

• Strong project coordination, organization, and follow-through
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Confidence working with spreadsheets, trackers, shared documents, calendars, and Microsoft Office tools
• Strong attention to detail and documentation
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with teams across a large organization
• A customer-service mindset and the ability to build strong working relationships

📋 Minimum Requirement

• High School Diploma or GED OR 2 years of applicable work experience

⭐ Preferred:

• Bachelor’s Degree
• 1+ year of experience in hospital operations, data analytics, business administration, project management, or a related field
• Experience working with data, project tracking, research operations, or complex healthcare initiatives

🎯 Why This Role Matters

Clinical research doesn’t happen in a silo. It takes coordination across hospitals, investigators, academic partners, technology, finance, leadership, and countless operational details.

You’ll help connect those pieces—creating the structure, organization, and follow-through that allows research teams to focus on advancing new ideas and improving care.

💙 Help move research forward—one project, one partnership, and one breakthrough at a time.
