About the Role

What if your deep knowledge of biotech data and regulatory compliance could directly shape how AI understands and works with life sciences research? We're looking for a Biotech Health Data Governance Lead to ensure that clinical trial and research data is accurate, traceable, and trustworthy — supporting cutting-edge AI development at the intersection of science and technology.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced professionals in biotech, life sciences, or regulated data environments who want to make a meaningful contribution to the future of AI-powered research.

  • 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 covering classification, access, security, and metadata across research, clinical, regulatory, and partner teams
  • Enable secure, governed access to data for analytics, innovation, and external collaborations while protecting confidential and patient-related information
  • Evaluate and improve data quality standards in ways that directly support AI model development in life sciences contexts
  • Collaborate with scientific, IT, compliance, and business stakeholders to align data standards and workflows across functions

Who You Are

  • Experienced in leading or implementing data governance programs within biotech, life sciences, clinical research, or regulated data environments
  • Deeply familiar with data privacy, security, compliance frameworks, and regulatory expectations for research and clinical trial data
  • Skilled at bridging scientific, technical, and compliance teams — translating complex data requirements into clear, actionable policies
  • Detail-oriented and systematic — you understand that in regulated environments, the integrity of every data point matters

  • Familiarity with regulatory submissions processes (FDA, EMA, or equivalent)
  • Background working with clinical data standards such as CDISC, HL7, or FHIR
  • Exposure to AI or machine learning workflows in a life sciences context

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and life sciences organizations
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact work
  • Contribute to AI development that has real consequences for how science is done and how lives are improved
  • Exposure to advanced AI models and how high-quality, governed data enables better science
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
