  • Develop and maintain structured training resources, job aids, and ongoing education opportunities for the data entry team based on observed data trends, query patterns, protocol changes, and operational needs. 
  • Design and implement data escalation processes and workflows that enable visibility of data issues, quality gaps, and protocol deviations to site leadership and clinical operations management.
  • Establish clear pathways for data issues to be flagged, triaged, assigned, and resolved with defined timelines and accountability. 

Quality Control and Data Integrity 

  • Conduct quality control reviews of the first 3 subjects screened and first 3 enrolled at every Adams Clinical site, identifying data entry errors, protocol deviations, and inconsistencies. 
  • Build and document proactive QC processes that create clear standards, checklists, and assessment criteria for initial data reviews. 
  • Analyze QC findings, EDC queries, and data discrepancies to identify recurring trends, root causes, and opportunities for preventative action. 
  • Partner with site leadership and clinical operations teams to translate data findings into targeted retraining, process improvements, and updates to source documentation workflows.  
  • Identify patterns in source quality issues, documentation inconsistencies, and preventable queries to improve upstream clinical workflows and reduce downstream data corrections.
  • Partner with Quality and Clinical Operations teams to support proactive audit readiness by monitoring data quality trends, identifying potential risks, ensuring timely remediation of data issues, and contributing to audit preparation activities ahead of sponsor audits, regulatory inspections, and internal quality reviews.
  • Travel to sites as needed to support onboarding, training, workflow assessments, process improvement initiatives, and audit readiness activities, including collaboration with site teams during sponsor audits, regulatory inspections, and internal quality reviews.

  • Support adoption of new data management platforms and tools as the organization evolves.
  • Support database lock activities by coordinating data cleaning efforts, monitoring outstanding queries, tracking data entry completion, and escalating unresolved data issues to appropriate stakeholders. 

Regulatory Compliance and Data Governance 

  • Ensure all data management activities comply with FDA regulations, GCP guidelines, study protocols, and Adams Clinical data governance standards. 
  • Stay informed of regulatory changes affecting data management and ensure team compliance.  
  • Maintain availability during critical data or safety reporting windows (e.g., SAE reporting) that may require prompt attention outside standard business hours.  
  • Support continuous improvement of data governance practices by identifying opportunities to improve source quality, reduce preventable queries, and strengthen alignment between source documentation, eSource workflows, and EDC requirements.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
