WE’RE HIRING: Virtual Research Assistant | Full-Time Remote

We are looking for a highly organized and detail-oriented Virtual Research Assistant to support research study coordination for a U.S.-based healthcare consulting company.

This role is primarily focused on helping manage the day-to-day administrative coordination of IRB-approved research studies, including participant communication, study tracking, laboratory test coordination, survey follow-up, and documentation. The VA will work under the direction of a Study Lead and will elevate all clinical, medical, and protocol-related questions rather than answering them independently.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Communicate with research participants using approved scripts and templates
  • Track consent forms, participant status, study milestones, and pending actions
  • Coordinate laboratory test orders and monitor kit delivery and specimen returns
  • Maintain accurate study trackers and testing logs
  • Administer surveys and follow up on incomplete responses
  • Support participant incentive tracking
  • Maintain confidential records using approved systems only
  • Provide secondary administrative support for the Cell Signaling Institute and general client operations
  • Assist with scheduling, webinars, documentation, file organization, and project trackers

We’re looking for someone who has:

  • Excellent written English and professional communication skills
  • Exceptional attention to detail
  • Strong Google Workspace skills, especially Google Sheets
  • Experience with Airtable, Asana, Monday, ClickUp, or similar project-management tools
  • Experience with Adobe Acrobat or e-signature/document workflows
  • Strong discretion when handling confidential information
  • Good judgment and the discipline to ask and elevate rather than guess
  • A stable internet connection and a private workspace suitable for confidential work

An advantage if you have experience with:

  • Healthcare, clinical research, or a HIPAA-regulated environment
  • SurveyMonkey
  • Learning management systems such as Articulate 360 / Reach 360
  • Functional, integrative, or longevity medicine
  • Writing SOPs or documenting processes

Important: This is an administrative research-support role. The Virtual Research Assistant will not provide medical advice, interpret laboratory results, make clinical decisions, or independently obtain informed consent.

Work Arrangement:

  • Full-time remote position
  • 8 hours per day, Monday through Friday
  • One-hour lunch break
  • Long-term opportunity
  • Starting base pay at PHP/month
