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
