Track grant expenditures and funding status with Finance and flag deadlines, variances, or documentation gaps. Coordinate CRO and external research activities, including timelines, deliverables, sample shipments, reports, invoices, scopes of work, budgets, and change orders. Support procurement and vendor administration for grant and research/program work, including quote collection, purchase requests, contract/SOW tracking, and vendor follow-through. Maintain complete contract records and support company-wide visibility through VLP's Contract Register. Run action trackers, status updates, and cross-functional follow-up so commitments are completed on time. What We're Looking For Bachelor's degree in life sciences, public health, research administration, business, finance, project management, or a related field. Approximately 2+ years of relevant experience in grants, sponsored research, biotech/pharma operations, CRO coordination, procurement/contracts, or program administration. Strong project-tracking, written communication, organization, and attention to detail. Comfort working with budgets, invoices, contracts, deadlines, vendors, scientists, and cross-functional stakeholders. Life-sciences experience and exposure to NIH, BARDA, DoD, Gates, GHIT, or other sponsored research programs are preferred. Ability and willingness to work primarily on-site in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Compensation & Benefits VLP's good-faith salary range for this position is $80,000-$90,000 annually. Actual base salary will depend on relevant experience, depth of sponsored-research/program-operations experience, and internal equity. Eligible employees have access to a benefits package that includes medical, dental and vision coverage, life and disability benefits, a 401(k) retirement plan, and paid time off. Plan terms and eligibility are governed by the applicable plan documents.
