Clinical Strategy and Solutions Manager

Faro Health aims to improve lives by helping life sciences companies answer complex clinical questions, simply, efficiently and effectively. Our software platform is used to orchestrate complex clinical development with a single source of truth. It brings words, data and teams together, empowering researchers to design more intelligent trials, master complexity and reach milestones faster.

Faro is a mission driven company seeking world class people who share our passion for improving drug availability and patient outcomes through better clinical trial design. We pride ourselves on our vibrant, inclusive, and growth mindset oriented culture. Faro offers competitive compensation and benefits, generous vacation and parental leave, and flexible working hours. We are a hybrid workplace where San Diego employees work from their homes as well as in our lovely main headquarters enjoying a gym with classes and (early next year) spa services, outdoor lawn work area, and steeply discounted food hall. Remote employees work from home and visit the main office for group events and in-person collaboration.

The Clinical Strategy and Solutions Manager is a key stakeholder in the success of our users and supports the enhancement of data-driven features on the Faro Health Platform. In this role, you will utilize your expertise in Clinical Operations to understand and reflect clinical protocols in the Faro Health Platform across a variety of therapeutic areas and study designs. In addition, you will own the management and ongoing expansion of a high-quality repository of publicly available clinical trial protocols for use in Faro products. You will also own and maintain a library of standardized clinical trial documents, language templates, workshop materials, documentation, and procedures. This will require the ability and willingness to get into the details of a variety of protocols, lab manuals, statistical plans, etc., rolling up your sleeves to do highly detailed and precise work. Keen attention to detail and precision for your work and others is critical for this role as you will be responsible for ensuring quality throughout the study modeling and clinical support processes. This includes providing guidance and delegating clinical tasks to junior team members.
