• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with Clinical Operations and Clinical eSolutions teams to validate cost assumptions and procurement benchmarks.

• Compliance Mindset: Understanding of the regulatory landscape surrounding investigator payments and financial transparency.
• Professional Attributes
• Self-Directed: Able to operate with minimal supervision and define a path forward when faced with ambiguous or "messy" datasets.
