This role will design, launch, and advise on building a multi-site observational registry from the ground up, owning the registry from blank page to enrollment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end registry design and author the registry protocol, charter, informed consent / authorization language, regulatory packets, data dictionary, etc.
  • Lead consent and privacy strategy, defending the choice to the IRB and internal legal/privacy.
  • Select and engage the central IRB (Advarra or WCG); negotiate the Master Services Agreement and reliance framework.
  • Build and execute the site-activation playbook, including feasibility, qualification, site participation agreements, BAAs/DUAs, regulatory packets, and training.
  • Select and configure the EDC/registry platform (REDCap, Castor, Medidata RWS, or equivalent); spec CRFs, edit checks, and query workflows.
  • Stand up the eTMF (Veeva Vault, Florence, or structured equivalent) to DIA TMF Reference Model standards.
  • Achieve First Subject In within 6–9 months of start.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in RWE and/or registry programs and/or phase 4 experience.
  • Designed and built at least one registry from the ground up, including registry design, protocol authoring, and regulatory/start-up documentation.
  • Led at least one multi-site observational registry or post-marketing study from protocol through enrollment or has deep experience in phase 4 trials.
  • Comfortable operating in a data-collection paradigm (observational registries) as distinct from running an interventional experiment.

  • Authored or successfully defended an IRB waiver of consent / waiver of HIPAA authorization.

  • Built and negotiated site participation agreements and BAAs/DUAs at scale (10+ sites).
  • Been through at least one FDA BIMO inspection or rigorous sponsor audit.
  • Significant and direct experience interacting with FDA CBER.
  • Academic or research-institution registry experience (e.g., investigator-initiated or epidemiologic registries), in addition to or alongside industry experience.
  • Blood, transfusion medicine, hematology, or apheresis exposure.
  • Working knowledge of AABB standards, donor eligibility (21 CFR 630), and blood establishment regulations.
  • Experience interacting with FDA, and CBER in particular.
  • Start-up or small-company operating experience.
  • Familiarity with state privacy law overlays (CCPA/CPRA, WA MHMD, TX HB 300).
