Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.
Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only if you already have biomarker, assay development or central-lab experience and are based in or able to work in Shanghai/Beijing. Without that specific background, or with no job description to assess, the odds of a realistic application are low.
Who should apply
Clinician-researchers with lab medicine, pathology, pharmacology or translational research backgrounds; PhD/MD candidates who have run biomarker assays or managed CRO laboratory work in China.
CV angle
Reframe clinical and research experience around assay lifecycle ownership: highlight any biomarker or lab assay work, protocol-driven sample handling, GCP compliance, data quality review, and coordination with central labs or CROs. Quantify trial support and cross-functional collaboration rather than clinical duties.
Skills to highlight
- Assay development and validation
- Biomarker strategy and translational medicine
- GCP and regulatory compliance
- CRO/central lab vendor management
- Clinical trial sample and data management
- Cross-functional project management
- Laboratory quality and data integrity
Role summary
A contract manager-level position at Pfizer in Shanghai or Beijing leading clinical assay and biomarker activities for clinical trials, including assay development/validation oversight and coordination with laboratory vendors and study teams.
