What if your expertise in biotech and clinical data could directly shape how AI understands and operates within one of the most regulated, high-stakes industries in the world? We're looking for a Biotech Health Data Governance Lead to ensure that research and clinical trial data is accurate, traceable, compliant, and ready to power scientific discovery, regulatory submissions, and advanced AI-driven analytics.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced professionals who know how to navigate the intersection of life sciences, data compliance, and cutting-edge technology.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Govern biotech research and clinical trial data to ensure accuracy, lineage, and full auditability for scientific analysis and regulatory submissions
  • Define and enforce data policies covering classification, access controls, security standards, and metadata management across research, clinical, regulatory, and partner teams
  • Enable secure, governed data access for analytics, innovation pipelines, and external collaborations — while rigorously protecting confidential and patient-related information
