Application Administration and Technical Support: Serve as a subject matter expert for core clinical applications, including Medidata Rave, Oracle Clinical/Remote Data Capture (OC/RDC), Oracle Inform, SAS, and related reporting, migration, and custom-function tools.

Clinical Database Configuration: Develop and maintain specifications and programming documentation for annotated Case Report Forms (CRFs), database creation, coding configurations, edit checks, and data import and export processes.

Reporting and Data Processing: Configure and maintain listings, custom reports, reporting tools, and data processing workflows to support clinical study requirements and ensure accurate, reliable outputs.

System Integration and Validation: Lead and support system integration activities, application updates, user acceptance testing, and validation processes to ensure system functionality and data integrity.

Monitoring and Troubleshooting: Proactively monitor applications for workflow alerts, system errors, performance issues, and programming defects, conducting root cause analysis and implementing appropriate resolutions.

Study Startup and Implementation: Participate in Quick Start Camps (QSCs) as the lead Clinical Programmer for assigned studies, coordinating technical preparation and ensuring programming deliverables are completed effectively.

Project Coordination and Delivery: Lead programming activities within clinical project teams, participate in technical discussions, clarify requirements, and coordinate deliverables to meet agreed timelines, scope, quality standards, and budget expectations.

Risk Management and Communication: Identify and communicate technical issues, resource constraints, and potential delivery risks to project managers and relevant stakeholders, escalating concerns promptly when necessary.

Technical Leadership and Mentoring: Provide guidance, training, mentoring, and technical support to other programming team members, helping strengthen their skills and promote consistent development practices.

Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with clients, lead programmers, project teams, peers, and requestors to define requirements, finalize technical specifications, resolve challenges, and adapt solutions to evolving project needs.
