We are currently seeking an experienced Administrative Assistant to support our staff with administrative functions on their research studies. The Administrative Assistant supports our operations staff by taking meeting minutes, tracking tasks, taking phone calls, assisting with shipments to research sites and many other administrative support functions.  This is a great position if you like to be busy and have variety in your work while also contributing to healthcare and new drug development.  The Administrative Assistant works at the direction of the Manager, Project Operations. The successful candidate will have exceptional attention-to-detail and critical thinking skills. A team-oriented and friendly demeanor is necessary for this fast-paced work environment.
