About FL127
FL127 is a privately held, early‑stage company building a first‑in‑category platform anchored in novel device technology. We are assembling a lean, high‑impact team of scientists and engineers who thrive at the intersection of hardware, software, and biology, and who are excited to build in an era when AI agents are first‑class members of every team.
The RoleWe’re looking for a detail‑oriented Participant Coordinator to manage the logistics of bringing study participants on site. Our researcher conducts all hands‑on experimentation; this role keeps the participant pipeline moving behind the scenes — identifying candidates, reaching out, and scheduling their visits. It is a part‑time, fully remote contractor position of roughly 10 hours per week, with no in‑person presence required.
WhatYou’ll Do
- Review and search a participant database to identify candidates who meet study eligibility criteria.
- Reach out to prospective participants by email, phone, or text to gauge interest and confirm fit.
- Schedule and coordinate on‑site visits, aligning participant availability with the research calendar.
- Send reminders, confirmations, and any pre‑visit instructions to keep no‑shows low.
- Track participant status, communications, and scheduling in a shared system, and keep records accurate and up to date.
- Serve as the friendly point of contact for participant questions leading up to their visit.
- Flag scheduling gaps or recruitment shortfalls early so the team can adjust.
- Strong organizational skills and reliable follow‑through on administrative tasks with minimal oversight.
- Clear, warm, and professional written and verbal communication — you’ll be the first impression for many participants.
- Comfort working with databases, spreadsheets, scheduling tools, and email.
- Discretion and care in handling sensitive personal and health‑related information.
- Ability to work independently and manage your own time within a ~10 hour per week commitment.
- Prior experience in clinical research coordination, participant recruitment, or a study/lab setting.
- Familiarity with human‑subjects research practices or IRB processes.
Pay range $30‑$50 per hour. Contractor will be employed by a third‑party staffing company. Certain employee benefits may be available to the contractor through the staffing company after meeting minimum criteria.
