Contracts Manager

About Precision for Medicine: Precision for Medicine is not your typical contract research organization (CRO). We have purposefully integrated ground-breaking technologies, deep scientific knowledge, laboratory expertise, and advanced data sciences to change how life-changing therapies reach patients. Operating at an international scale, we help clinical-stage life science, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies optimize the speed, cost, and overall success rate of complex clinical trial executions worldwide.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly detailed, analytical, and process-oriented Contracts Manager APAC to join our global legal and study infrastructure team under a permanent, full-time remote layout based in China or Singapore.

• Regulatory Compliance Alignment: Audit contract language, investigator terms, and regional data guidelines to verify complete alignment with underlying Contract Law principles and pharmaceutical sector compliance standards.
• Process Tracking & Registry Maintenance: Control and track the lifecycle status of multiple concurrent legal agreements, generating clear reporting updates regarding contracting bottlenecks or signature progress.
• Multi-Institutional Relationship Management: Cultivate, maintain, and strengthen partnerships with international clinical sites, medical investigators, and regional vendors to streamline future operational setups.
