  • Serve as the interim Functional Lead for all Project Managers
  • Foster a culture of efficiency, compliance, and cross-functional support

  • Familiarity with data science, RWE, or clinical research environments

If you’re excited to help protect systems that support meaningful healthcare research, where your expertise directly contributes to trust, compliance, and patient impact, Target RWE is the place for you. We’re building something important together, and we’d love for you to be a part of it.
