Position Responsibilities
The successful applicant embodies Zoetis’ Core Beliefs: Our Colleagues Make The Difference, Always Do The Right Thing, Customer Obsessed, Run It Like You Own It, and We Are One Zoetis.
We are seeking a Clinical Data Manager to join our Statistics & Data Management team supporting global Veterinary Medicine R&D. You will own database build, data quality, reconciliation, and lock readiness activities for veterinary studies at varying levels of complexity. The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem solver who enjoys partnering with study teams and applying standardization along with pragmatic automation to improve speed and quality.
A Typical Day
* Troubleshoot a sample-to-subject mapping issue for an ongoing study, validate a hotfix, and publish a targeted listing for the team.
* Configure a new database table corresponding to an eCRF form for a protocol amendment;
coordinate UAT and promote to production under change control.
* Reconcile a weekly lab transfer, investigate outliers/missingness, and drive timely query resolution to protect the database lock timeline.
* Automate a repeatable export for medical review and partner with Engineering on onboarding a new external data source.
What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities)
Study Delivery & Ownership
* Lead end-to-end data management for assigned studies: contribute to protocol and schedule-of-events review;
author and maintain theData Management Plan (DMP);
drive CRF/eCRF design using standards/library, collaborating with EDC team as necessary;
define edit-check and data review specifications;
manage database release, freeze, and lock.
* Serve as day-to-day DM contact for study teams and statisticians.
* Conduct ad‑hoc investigations to troubleshoot data issues (e.G., subject/sample mismatches, visit windowing, missing/late data).
Data Quality, Reconciliation & Transfers
* Implement and maintain edit checks, data review listings, and query management processes
* Define and manage external data transfer specifications (e.G., central labs, PK/PD, biomarkers, devices) and perform reconciliation across sources (e.G., EDC lab/LIMS/randomization).
* Produce listings/visuals (e.G., enrollment, missing forms, protocol deviations) to support study delivery.
Systems Configuration & Light Automation
* Build and configure study-specific databases in the CDMS;
maintain standards and libraries to promote reuse.
* Configure repeatable imports/exports and lightweight automations for routine data ingestion and transformation within DM systems;
partner with Data Solutions on cross-study pipelines and new source onboarding.
* Provide role-based training and user support (data imports/corrections, unlocks, new study requests).
Quality, Compliance & Documentation
* Operate under and contribute to SOPs/WIs, templates, and libraries;
support system validation, change control, and SDLC activities.
* Ensure compliance with VICH GCP, GLP, 21 CFR Part 11 / EU Annex 11, and ALCOA+ data integrity principles;
support preparation of electronic data for regulatory submissions.
Continuous Improvement
* Track and communicate DM metrics (e.G., cycle times, query rates, UAT defects, lock timelines).
* Identify and implement process and standards improvements;
mentor junior colleagues.
Qualifications
Required
* Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.G., Data/Computer Science, Biostatistics, Information Management, Bioinformatics, Mathematics, Epidemiology) or equivalent experience.
* 3–6 years in a technical, data-oriented role with clinical data management responsibilities;
experience designing databases aligned to data capture forms (EDC/eCRF).
* Proficiency with SQL and one of SAS, R, or Python for data manipulation, listings, and checks (ability to learn others a plus).
* Hands-on experience with EDC/CDMS configuration, edit checks, UAT, and data reconciliation across external sources (e.G., labs, PK/PD).
* Demonstrated ability to work independently and in cross-functional teams, with strong planning, organization, attention to detail, and critical thinking.
* Strong verbal and written communication skills;
ability to translate technical data topics for non-technical stakeholders.
* Competent with Microsoft 365 and collaboration tools
Preferred
* Experience in pharmaceutical/animal health R&D in a clinical data management specialty and/or work in regulated environments.
* Familiarity with VICH GCP, GLP, 21 CFR Part 11/Annex 11, and preparation of electronic data for regulatory submissions.
* Experience with EDC/CDMS platforms (e.G., Medrio, Medidata Rave, Veeva Vault CDMS, REDCap, OpenClinica) and LIMS;
exposure to controlled terminology/standards (libraries, code lists, medical/veterinary dictionaries as applicable).
* Knowledge of SAS for TLFs/listings or R/Python for data wrangling/automation;
experience with Git (version control) and Jira/ServiceNow (ticketing).
* Experience with Power BI/Tableau (or similar) to generate operational dashboards.
Prior contribution to SOPs, templates, study libraries, and process improvement initiatives;
experience mentoring junior staff.
