About the Role

What if your expertise in biotech data governance could directly shape how AI understands and works with clinical and research data — at the frontier of life sciences and artificial intelligence?

We're looking for a Biotech Health Data Governance Lead to ensure that the research and clinical trial data powering next-generation AI models is accurate, traceable, compliant, and ready to support scientific discovery, regulatory filings, and advanced analytics.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced life sciences and biotech professionals who want meaningful, high-impact work on their own schedule.

  • 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 for scientific analysis and regulatory submissions
  • Define and enforce data policies for classification, access, security, and metadata across research, clinical, regulatory, and partner teams
  • Enable secure, governed access to data for analytics, AI model development, and external collaborations — while protecting confidential and patient-related information
  • Identify and resolve data quality issues that could impact scientific validity, compliance, or AI training outcomes
  • Collaborate across scientific, IT, compliance, and business teams to align data standards, workflows, and governance frameworks

Who You Are

  • Experienced in leading or implementing data governance programs in biotech, life sciences, clinical research, or other regulated data environments
  • Deeply knowledgeable about data privacy, security, compliance, and regulatory expectations for research and clinical trial data
  • A skilled cross-functional collaborator — comfortable working alongside scientists, engineers, compliance officers, and business stakeholders
  • Detail-oriented and systematic, with a strong instinct for data quality and traceability
  • Self-directed and reliable when working independently in a remote, async environment

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training data workflows
  • Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ICH E6, GDPR, or HIPAA as they apply to research and clinical data
  • Experience with data cataloging, metadata management, or master data management tools
  • Background in clinical data management, biostatistics, or bioinformatics

Why Join Us

  • Work at the intersection of life sciences and cutting-edge AI — contributing to research that matters
  • Fully remote and flexible — structure your work around your life, not the other way around
  • Freelance autonomy with the substance of meaningful, expertise-driven work
  • Collaborate with leading AI research teams and life sciences organizations on high-impact projects
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
