Job Responsibilities Clinical Project Manager II

• Virology Sponsor Dedicated
• Remote (Preference for Hybrid Foster City, CA-Based Candidates) Are you a Clinical Project Manager who knows how to drive global clinical trials from start-up through closeout — and enjoys being deeply involved in the operational details that make studies successful?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly collaborative, fast-paced clinical operations team supporting innovative early-phase virology programs within a sponsor-dedicated environment. We are seeking a hands-on operational leader who can confidently manage complexity, navigate competing priorities, and keep global studies moving forward with urgency, accountability, and precision. The ideal candidate is not someone who only operates at a high level — this role requires someone comfortable working "in the weeds," proactively solving problems, managing vendors closely, driving timelines, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. You should be energized by fast-moving environments, cross-functional collaboration, and the opportunity to own trial execution from beginning to end. While virology experience is strongly preferred, candidates with strong global clinical trial management experience in other therapeutic areas will absolutely be considered. This team values collaboration, operational excellence, emotional intelligence, accountability, and continuous growth. Leadership is highly supportive, mentorship-focused, and invested in helping strong performers expand their impact and career trajectory. While remote/home-based candidates may be considered, priority will be given to candidates located in or near Foster City, California, with the ability to work onsite 2-3 days per week.
