[Hiring] Manager, Clinical Study Operations @Beacon Biosignals

Role Description

Beacon Biosignals is seeking a Manager, Clinical Study Operations to lead a team within our Clinical Study Operations (ClinOps) group. ClinOps is responsible for the end-to-end execution of Beacon's internal and external device-based clinical trials — from feasibility and site start-up through recruitment, enrollment, data collection, monitoring, and close-out.

• Manage a group of direct reports across Clinical Study Operations.
• Oversee ClinOps activities on the studies they run — from feasibility and site start-up through data collection, monitoring, and close-out.
• Set clear expectations and coach day-to-day execution.
• Escalate risks to leadership before they become problems.
• Step in directly when a study needs it.
• Own and drive domain-level ClinOps goals and initiatives — process standardization, tooling, data quality — end to end.
• Represent ClinOps ahead of study execution — in BD conversations, feasibility discussions, and Investigator Meetings.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Life Science, and BD to keep trials on track and compliant.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in clinical trial operations in biotech, medtech, or pharma (device-based trial experience a strong plus).
• Bachelor's or advanced degree in a clinical or scientific field.
• 1-2+ years directly managing people, with a track record of hiring, coaching, and performance management.
• Ability to travel up to 15% of the time for Investigator Meetings, sponsor engagements, and site visits.
• Demonstrated ownership of the clinical trial lifecycle: start-up, recruitment strategy, enrollment, monitoring, data cleaning, and close-out.
• Working knowledge of GCP, FDA and global regulatory requirements, and experience with SOP development and QMS practices (Qualio or similar).
• Comfortable ramping up quickly on proprietary CTMS/eTMF tooling in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Experience working with CROs and vendors: selection support, day-to-day oversight, and relationship management.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to align Product, Engineering, and Data Science partners in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Comfortable operating asynchronously across time zones in a remote-first, distributed organization.
• A bias toward simplicity — able to introduce the right level of process without adding unnecessary complexity.

Requirements

• Support onboarding and ramp-up for your team as it grows.
• Translate Beacon's strategic priorities into a roadmap for your area — sequencing initiatives, process investment, and team growth.
• Oversee ClinOps execution across the studies your direct reports run — feasibility, site start-up, enrollment, monitoring, close-out.
• Escalate risks and blockers to leadership early, with a clear read on tradeoffs and options.
• Own ClinOps KPIs and goals for your area (execution timelines, enrollment and data quality metrics…), track progress in Asana, and report clearly to leadership and cross-functional partners.
• Exercise sound judgment on issue classification and escalation.
• Lead domain-level ClinOps initiatives end to end — e.g., process standardization, tooling rollouts, dashboard/reporting improvements.
• Maintain and improve ClinOps SOPs, work instructions, and CTMS practices within your area.
• Represent ClinOps ahead of study execution — bringing operational expertise to deal shaping, SOW input, and site/study planning.
• Manage Beacon's day-to-day working relationship with sponsors and, where applicable, a CRO intermediary.

Benefits

• Salary range: $115,000 – $135,000.
• Total compensation package includes equity, PTO, and other benefits.
