We collaborate with education organizations to develop strategies and implement solutions that enable the transformative change our clients need to own their future. Together, we empower clients to drive innovation, create sustainable funding streams and deliver better student outcomes.
Today, leaders of higher education institutions and academic medical centers are spending too much time reacting to market forces, rather than focusing on the essential priorities that help students, faculty and staff thrive. The most productive path forward requires an intentional approach and innovative thinking, whereby stakeholders across the entire institution rally around a shared vision and embrace the hard work of effecting change.
You’ll help our clients to achieve organizational effectiveness, improve student outcomes, implement new technologies and align resources and investments to ensure long-term sustainability.
Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future.
Managers play a vibrant, integral role at Huron. Their invaluable knowledge reflects in the projects they manage and the teams they lead. Known for being politically savvy, they build long-standing partnerships with clients, while collaborating with colleagues to solve their most important challenges. They plan, shape, and deliver technology and financial solutions that achieve results and seamlessly align with client goals, visions, and missions.
Remarkably versatile, our Managers also spend significant time mentoring junior staff on the engagement team—tirelessly sharing expertise, feedback, and encouragement. This commitment benefits Huron profoundly by promoting a culture of respect, unity, collaboration, and personal achievement.
Our environment inspires and rewards growth…
As a Manager, you have the unique opportunity to specialize in areas of accounting, finance, and enterprise systems that showcase your expertise while pursuing your individual career vision. Huron is large enough to provide the exposure and opportunity needed for professional growth, yet small enough to ensure personalized development and meaningful mentorship.
Huron’s Finance & Operations ("Fin Ops") team regularly supports colleges and universities during periods of leadership transition, most commonly following the departures of key finance roles within the CFO's Office (Controllers, Budget Directors, Accountants, and other finance leaders). These engagements often begin as interim staffing support and evolve into broader financial operations projects requiring leadership, problem-solving, and team development support.
Managers in this role are expected to step into complex environments quickly, stabilize accounting and reporting functions, and lead both clients and engagement teams through periods of change.
Every Manager contributes to who we are as an organization—and the more you evolve, the more we do. An exciting career experience awaits you: it’s intense, analytically rigorous, practical, entrepreneurial, intellectually stimulating—and most definitely—career-defining.

- Contribute experience from finance system implementations or transitions, including supporting end users through system changes and data validation.
- Present financial information, findings, and recommendations to senior administrators and executives, articulating both detailed analysis and broader strategic implications.
- Deliver strong verbal and written communications on project work that is clear, concise, and easily understood by non-technical individuals.
- Collaborate with FinOps and broader Huron teams to identify opportunities for expanded support as interim engagements evolve.

- U.S. work authorization required.
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance or related field from an accredited college or university, or equivalent relevant work experience.

- Demonstrate experience in budgeting, forecasting, and financial management.
- Hands-on experience with financial systems such as Ellucian/Banner, Oracle, Workday, or similar platforms.

- Ability to travel up to 50% annually and work extended hours as needed to meet client and project demands.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Seeking Assistant Controller/Controller experience

Tips for Your Remote Clinical Research Consultant Job Search
Show async communication skills upfront

Include examples of remote monitoring reports, protocol deviation summaries, or site communication logs you've produced independently to prove you can keep distributed teams aligned.
Highlight remote monitoring tool proficiency

Remote Clinical Research Consultant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote clinical research consultant job?
Target companies that run distributed clinical operations teams, including contract research organizations, medical device firms, and biopharma companies with decentralized trial programs. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, clear written communication, and familiarity with electronic data capture systems and remote monitoring tools. Candidates who can demonstrate independent site management experience and a history of delivering study milestones without on-site supervision have a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote clinical research consultants?
Employers currently hiring remote clinical research consultants include Huron Consulting and Cambia Health Solutions, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. The roles concentrate at contract research organizations, decentralized trial platforms, and biopharma companies running distributed site networks.
Can you get a remote clinical research consultant job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry roles in clinical research consulting are harder to land because you're expected to work independently from day one without on-site mentorship. Smaller contract research organizations and decentralized trial startups are more likely to hire junior remote candidates. Showing completed Good Clinical Practice training, volunteer coordination work, or relevant coursework in clinical research processes can open doors in place of direct paid experience.
Do you need a degree for remote clinical research consultant jobs?
Not always, but most remote employers in clinical research expect at least a bachelor's degree in a life sciences or health-related field as a baseline. What remote hiring teams weigh alongside or instead of an advanced degree includes hands-on site monitoring experience, proficiency with clinical trial management systems, and a verifiable record of protocol adherence across completed studies.
