About the Role

What if your expertise in biotech data governance could directly shape how AI systems understand and work with some of the most complex, high-stakes data in the world? We're looking for a Biotech Health Data Governance Lead to ensure that research and clinical trial data powering next-generation AI models is accurate, traceable, compliant, and audit-ready.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role for an experienced professional who understands what it takes to govern data in regulated life sciences environments — and wants to apply that expertise at the frontier of AI.

  • 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 auditability across scientific analysis and regulatory submissions
  • Define and enforce data policies covering classification, access controls, security protocols, and metadata standards across research, clinical, regulatory, and partner teams
  • Enable secure, governed data access for analytics, innovation, and external collaborations — while protecting confidential and patient-related information
  • Identify gaps in data quality and compliance, and implement practical, scalable solutions
  • Collaborate with scientific, IT, compliance, and business stakeholders to align data governance standards and workflows
  • Support the integrity and trustworthiness of data used to train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models

Who You Are

  • Experienced in leading or implementing data governance programs within biotech, life sciences, clinical research, or other regulated data environments
  • Deeply familiar with data privacy, security, and compliance requirements — including regulatory expectations for clinical trial and research data
  • A natural collaborator who can bridge scientific, technical, and compliance teams around shared data standards
  • Detail-oriented and systematic — you care about getting data governance right at every layer
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote, asynchronous environment

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality frameworks, or AI evaluation systems
  • Familiarity with regulatory submission requirements (e.g., FDA, EMA) for clinical data
  • Background in metadata management, data cataloging, or master data management tools
  • Experience working across cross-functional or globally distributed teams

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading life sciences research teams and AI labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your schedule
  • Freelance autonomy with the substance of genuinely meaningful, high-impact work
  • Contribute to AI development that advances scientific discovery and improves how research data powers better medicine
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
