  • Partner closely with investigators, study coordinators, finance, and revenue cycle teams to validate assumptions and resolve budget or billing discrepancies.
  • Conduct ongoing budget tracking, reconciliation, and variance analysis to ensure financial accuracy throughout the study lifecycle.
  • Identify and address billing compliance risks, ensuring adherence to CMS, FDA, NIH, and institutional policies.
  • Assist in audit readiness activities, including documentation review, compliance checks, and issue resolution.
  • Standardize and improve budgeting and coverage analysis workflows, templates, and tools to enhance efficiency and consistency across client engagements.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert for clinical trial budgeting, billing compliance, and OnCore functionality within AMC and health system environments.
  • Provide hands-on support across multiple client engagements, managing competing priorities while maintaining high-quality deliverables.

Required Skills
  • Bachelor’s degree is required (Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field is preferred).
  • 3 to 5+ years of hands-on experience in clinical trial budgeting within Academic Medical Centers or health systems.
  • Strong expertise in Medicare Coverage Analysis and clinical trial billing compliance.
  • Required experience using OnCore for calendar build, budgeting, and billing grid configuration.
  • Proven experience negotiating budgets with sponsors and CROs.
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
  • Effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate across clinical, financial, and administrative teams.
  • Ability to manage multiple studies and deadlines in a fast-paced, client-facing environment.
  • Willingness to travel domestically (up to 10%).
