- Foster a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging innovation and efficiency in processes and technologies used within the facility.
- Requires daily presence at the data collection facility located less than 1 mile from the office location.
- Willingness and ability to manage additional projects in parallel with the data collection facility project, for example a scientific research project, or short-term operational projects in support of the team’s goals.
- Maintain thorough project documentation and train both internal and vendor research assistants on data collection protocols.
- Manage Institutional Review Board (IRB) documentation and review processes, ensuring compliance with IRB approvals and ethical standards in all data collection activities and facility operations.

- Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects from inception through to completion, ensuring operational excellence and stakeholder satisfaction.
- Strong sense of ethical and privacy considerations associated with human subjects research.
- Excellent organizational and communication skills, with proven ability to navigate cross-functional team dynamics and keep vendor-managed projects in check.
