About the Role

What if your expertise in clinical data and regulatory compliance could directly shape how AI understands and handles some of the most sensitive — and consequential — data 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 filings, and next-generation AI models.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced professionals in life sciences, biotech, or regulated research environments who want to do meaningful work on their own terms.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract

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 covering classification, access control, security, and metadata management across research, clinical, regulatory, and partner teams
  • Enable secure, governed access to data assets for analytics, innovation, and external collaborations — while protecting confidential and patient-related information
  • Identify gaps in existing data governance frameworks and recommend improvements aligned with regulatory expectations

  • Background in data stewardship, metadata management, or master data management in life sciences
  • Exposure to clinical data management systems or regulatory submission workflows

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI and life sciences projects alongside leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-stakes work
  • Make a direct impact on how AI handles and learns from regulated biotech and clinical data
