Research and Development Manager jobs in California

Research & Development Institute (RDI) is a tech-enabled CRO that helps In Vitro Diagnostic manufacturers who struggle to get FDA clearance for their products by sourcing the blood samples they desperately need through physicians and labs.

RDI received a large investment in 2021 that has allowed it to transition from a founder led business into a world-class diagnostic CRO with scientific experts and a CLIA lab that allow it to manage larger and more profitable projects.

RDI is seeking a Senior Clinical Trial Manager to be responsible for overall strategy, planning and execution of its projects, from start to finish. Ideally, this candidate has experience in medical device: diagnostic trials and either can leverage the appropriate scientific and operational expertise to design the study, identify and recruit sites and oversee the team to ensure our projects stay on track and that our clients are satisfied.

This is a long-term career position with significant room for growth as our company expands nationwide. RDI is changing the landscape for diagnostic CROs and is on an exciting growth trajectory.

Given the growth stage of our company, the best candidate will be passionate about our mission to become the leading diagnostic CRO and will love all aspects of building a business (including the intensity, market competition and being part of a close-knit & small team.)
