This is a W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI Lab as part of their extended workforce.

2. Key Responsibilities

• Guide research and engineering teams to close knowledge gaps and improve AI model performance in clinical trial design, clinical operations, and GCP-compliant study conduct.
• Design challenging, realistic clinical development tasks, such as protocol design problems, endpoint and estimand choices, and enrollment and site performance scenarios, and write accurate, well-structured solutions.
• Evaluate AI model outputs on clinical development questions for accuracy against ICH E6 (GCP), E8 and E9 principles and real-world trial practice, and provide clear, written feedback.
• Develop guidelines and detailed rubrics to assess protocol design quality, feasibility reasoning, and risk-based monitoring decisions across tasks.
• Collaborate with other subject matter experts to ensure consistency and accuracy in training data.

• Hands-on experience designing or running Phase I to III interventional trials, including protocol development, study start-up, site and CRO or vendor management, and study close-out.
• Working knowledge of ICH GCP (E6), trial design and statistical principles (E8, E9), and core systems such as CTMS, EDC and eTMF.
• Current or most recent role at Senior Manager or Associate Director level or above, with demonstrable career progression (e.g., Clinical Trial Manager → Senior Clinical Trial Manager → Associate Director, Clinical Operations → Director, or Clinical Scientist → Senior Clinical Scientist → Associate Director, Clinical Development).
• Ability to engage reliably for at least 40 hours/week during weekdays.
• Experience with AI training or evaluation work, or hands-on use of AI tools in clinical development work, is a plus.
