Sr. Program Manager, Clinical Data Review
Location: Maple Grove, Minnesota (5 days on-site).
Experience: 5-6+ years
Duration: 1 year +
The key takeaway is that needs a seasoned project/program manager who can drive change, coordinate complex initiatives, and ensure successful adoption- not simply someone who tracks project timelines.
Core responsibilities:
- Project and program management: Coordinate multiple initiatives being implemented concurrently across Clinical Data Management.
- Change management: Help the organization navigate an ongoing transformation and implement new processes and ways of working.
- Training and adoption: Understand how to develop training approaches, support implementation, and drive employee adoption of new processes.
- Cross-functional coordination: Partner closely with the Principal Data Manager, who owns the subject matter and technical content of the initiatives.
- Organization and execution: Keep stakeholders aligned, track deliverables, manage competing priorities, and ensure initiatives continue moving forward.
- Leadership partnership: Take direction directly from Jasmine and work closely with the Principal Data Manager to translate plans into execution.
Medical device vs. Pharmaceutical experience :
- Prefers candidates with medical device experience, but is open to pharmaceutical or CRO backgrounds.
- Preference is clear: change management, training, and adoption expertise can outweigh direct medical device experience.
- A pharmaceutical candidate could be a strong fit if they have:
o Deep experience supporting clinical data initiatives.
o The ability to understand clinical protocols and how information flows from protocol design through data collection, reporting, and analysis.
o A strong track record of implementing new programs and processes.
o Experience driving organizational change, training, and user adoption.
- A candidate with extensive medical device experience but limited change management or implementation experience may be less attractive than a candidate with stronger transformation skills.
Ideal candidate profile:
The strongest candidate will likely have a background in clinical research, clinical data management, or clinical operations, combined with substantial project/program management experience.
Look for someone who can demonstrate:
- Successfully managing several complex workstreams at once.
- Implementing new systems, processes, or organizational initiatives.
- Developing and coordinating training and implementation plans.
- Driving adoption across teams and stakeholder groups.
- Translating subject matter experts'' ideas into structured plans, milestones, and deliverables.
- Working independently, taking direction from senior leaders, and keeping projects organized without constant oversight.
- Process analysis experience is a bonus, especially if the candidate has helped evaluate existing workflows and implement improved ways of working.
