Support and grow your team through 1:1s, feedback, performance reviews, and development planning.
Foster a team culture grounded in accountability, urgency, and ownership — with clear expectations around follow-through and autonomy.
Collaborate with stakeholders across protocol, product, and customer teams to align on priorities, scope, and delivery expectations.
Own hiring and onboarding of new team members, building a high-performing team with a shared sense of…
