Job Description

The Mission

At RDI, we are building something most of the world thinks is impossible:

A clinical trial engine that actually works — for the sponsors who need results, for the labs that generate data, and for the patients waiting on therapies.

We sit at the intersection of clinical trials, laboratory operations, and highly specialized data systems — building trials that run faster, cleaner, and with fewer unforced errors, by closing the gaps that usually sink timelines.

This is a company designed to build better systems for how trials are actually run.

The Role

We’re hiring a Clinical Operations Lead — someone who can both do the work and build the system .

You will own trial execution — start to finish — while designing the systems that allow us to scale. You will mentor junior operators, work directly with sponsors, and stand between us and the thousand small failures that collapse studies.

There is no giant department here. No safety net of redundant processes. If something breaks, you will see it. You will fix it. You will prevent it from happening again.

You will work directly with the CEO and a highly driven cross-functional team. We are not looking for someone who wants a quiet management role. We are looking for a builder, operator, and coach who wants to create something that outlasts them.

What You Will Actually Do

  • Design and execute full clinical trial operations — protocol to closeout.
  • Build the operational playbooks, systems, and SOPs we need to scale.
  • Manage vendors, sites, CROs, and labs directly.
  • Oversee enrollment, timelines, budgets, compliance, and data integrity.
  • Train and mentor our junior team as they develop into full PMs.
  • Sit across sponsors, labs, and internal teams to keep every trial on track.
  • Solve problems that don’t yet have names.
  • Build systems that make the next trial easier than the last.

Who You Are

  • You’ve run full clinical trials, from startup through closeout, with real accountability for timelines, vendors, and data.
  • You’ve worked on the sponsor side, where the real accountability lives.
  • You’ve built processes before — not just followed them.
  • You are deeply familiar with GCP, ICH, IRB, site management, and clinical regulations.
  • You can see around corners, spot operational risks early, and course-correct without drama.
  • You love developing people and building team capacity.
  • You write clearly, speak directly, and own your work.
  • You are fully accountable — when things go wrong, you don’t point fingers; you fix them.

Who You Are Not

  • You’re not looking to “oversee” a team that does the work.
  • You’re not afraid of ambiguity.
  • You don’t need someone to hand you a 400-page SOP binder to get started.
  • You don’t hide behind process when decisions need to be made.

The Conditions

  • Location: Los Angeles preferred. Remote considered for exceptional candidates.
  • Travel: Occasional (site visits, internal meetings, vendor oversight)
