Tempus' proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence to deliver real-time, actionable insights to physicians, providing critical information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time.

STUDIES is the business segment of Tempus that oversees active, IRB-approved, observational platform studies designed to capture high-quality, longitudinal datasets to help answer critical questions through clinical development. Tempus' proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence from electronic medical record systems to deliver actionable insights to external clients, providing information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time.

What you’ll do

To support our expansion efforts, we are looking to add to our team a person that is experienced in clinical abstraction and large project operations. The role will require wearing many hats and Tempus is looking for an individual that is able to coordinate, grow and maintain the abstraction effort, ensuring abstraction processes are run efficiently and data is captured at the highest quality level while meeting project expectations.

As a Clinical Data Project Manager (CPM), you will be responsible for managing the data abstraction team that supports the clinical data abstraction for the Studies pipeline. Abstractors review clinical records and structure key data elements into an electronic data capture (EDC) system in alignment with Tempus abstraction rules. The CPM will be responsible for clearly articulating project updates to key stakeholders and collaborate with the Studies team to support transparency and process improvement. You will work closely with the Clinical Studies Manager. This is an ideal position for someone with both a scientific / clinical and a project management background who is interested in working at the crossroads of healthcare technology and data analysis to solve some of today’s most challenging medical questions.

• Stay on top of all due dates, and keep active communication to ensure that projects are kept on time or that timelines are revised to appropriately reflect necessary time to completion.
• Collaborate with the project-specific study team to review specific data elements post case submission to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Qualifications/Skills:
