**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

### About the job:

Denali Health is offering a path for candidates to break into clinical research. No prior experience required. Just a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn!

**Why this role matters:**

Every visit you support keeps a study safe, compliant, and on schedule. Your work turns complex protocols into steady, compassionate care. When you draw a tube, run an ECG, or log a result, a therapy moves one step closer to people who need it.

**About Denali:**

Denali Health is a fast-growing integrated site organization focused on getting therapies to market faster. We foster a culture of trust and talent to deliver industry-leading results for the trials we support.

**What you’ll do:**

-   **Set up visit rooms** and packets: print source, labels, and schedule; lay out kits and PPE so the team is ready at start time.
-   **Welcome participants** and guide check-in; verify IDs, update demographics, and offer a calm, clear overview of the visit flow.
-   **Handle reminders & follow-ups:** send confirmations, arrange transportation as needed, and make post-visit check-in calls using approved scripts.
-   **Assist clinical procedures** after training: prepare supplies for draws, hand off tubes, time spins, and complete chain-of-custody; perform phlebotomy only after competency sign-off.
-   **Support measurements** under supervision: record vitals and help with ECG/EKG or spirometry setup/cleaning; log device temps/calibration.
-   **Document carefully:** transcribe notes to source/eSource, upload/scans to the eISF, and enter data in eCRFs as delegated, following ICH-GCP/HIPAA.
-   **Tackle data quality tasks:** pre-fill templates, check identifiers, time-stamp entries, and flag discrepancies or queries for the CRC to review.
-   **Coordinate the day:** manage the visit tracker, keep the schedule moving, and communicate changes to CRCs, PIs, labs, and couriers.
-   **Pitch in wherever needed** to keep visits safe, on time, and participant-centered.

**You’re a good fit if you are:**

-   **Clinically inclined**
-   **Detail-Oriented**
-   **Hardworking & reliable**
-   **Ownership mindset**
-   **Coachable**
-   **Growth-oriented**

**Must-haves:**

-   High school diploma or GED.
-   Strong technology proficiency (typing, EHR basics, Excel/Word); quick to learn new systems.
-   Professionalism, reliability, and clear written documentation habits.

**Nice-to-haves:**

-   Medical Assistant training/certification or prior patient-care experience.
-   Exposure to clinical research (eSource/eCRF; Medidata Rave or REDCap).
-   Familiarity with ICH-GCP, SOPs, CLIA.
-   Bilingual (especially Spanish/English).

**How we will support your growth:**

-   30-60-90 day onboarding with hands-on checklists and frequent feedback.
-   Paid ICH-GCP training/renewals and device competency sign-offs.
-   Mentorship from senior CRCs and the PI; shadowing on complex visits.
-   **Clear ladder: Research Assistant →  CRC in ~12–18 months, with milestone reviews and pay steps.**

**Why Denali?**

-   **Do work that matters:** help bring tomorrow’s therapies to patients sooner—your effort shows up in real lives.
-   **Learn from the best:** collaborate daily with experienced PIs, CRCs who coach, not micromanage.
-   **Grow fast on purpose:** structured onboarding, paid trainings, and clear milestones that move you up.
-   **Choose your lane (and change it):** opportunities across clinic operations, data/QA, regulatory, and patient engagement.
-   **Own meaningful work:** small, trusted teams where you get responsibility early—and the support to do it right.
-   **Be recognized:** competitive pay and benefits, thoughtful feedback, and visible wins that build your career story.
-   **Thrive in our culture:** low-ego, high-standards, and steady teamwork so you can do your best work—consistently.
