ABOUT THE JOB

As a Clinical Research Operations Program Manager, you will independently manage the full lifecycle of cross-functional programs at the intersection of advanced artificial intelligence, consumer technology, and clinical research. You will serve as the connective tissue between the Clinical Health team, product partners and research collaborators to support pioneering studies that drive team-level objectives. In this role, you will navigate ambiguity to drive project milestones through software and clinical development lifecycles. You are highly collaborative and will align with cross-functional, non-clinical teams, such as engineering, product management, legal, privacy, and regulatory affairs, and coordinate with external clinical trial sites, academic collaborators and agreement research vendors. You will have a demonstrable background in human subjects research and clinical research operations. Ideally, you will also have experience conducting decentralized clinical research studies involving AI products in use cases. You will possess an understanding of the scientific underpinnings of human subjects research and practical skills in clinical study design, technical data infrastructure, and human subject research execution. You are passionate about driving execution and grow in a fast-moving environment. You will have a strong interest in artificial intelligence and transforming health through breakthrough technology. You’ll utilize not only your clinical research expertise but also your excellent listening, communication, organization, technical writing and problem-solving skills to manage and coordinate clinical evidence generation programs. You will implement scalable operational processes that increase research velocity while maintaining data integrity and clinical quality. You will also utilize AI/ML technologies to identify efficiencies and drive continuous improvements across your programs. Google for Health is a company-wide effort to help billions of people be healthier. We work toward this goal by meeting people in their everyday moments and empowering them to stay healthy and partnering with care teams to provide more accurate and accessible care.
