Make a Difference in the Universe by Solving the Number One Problem Faced by Medical Researchers

Application instructions are at the end of the description - we hope to receive yours soon!

Hello—we’re Trialfacts, a remote entrepreneurial company, and without us, a lot of medical research would not be possible. We’re searching for a Research Assistant to help our team solve our clients’ biggest problem. If you’re looking for a position where you can set your own hours, take holidays as you see fit, work remotely from home or anywhere in the world, and help medical research succeed, then please read on.

Today’s highly sophisticated medical system has added nearly 20 years of life expectancy, reduced infant mortality by 90% and maternal mortality by 99%. Polio, leprosy, smallpox, and tuberculosis are practically eradicated, even in the poorest countries in the world. There’s plenty of room for improvement, but a big part of what’s been achieved is due to new medications, medical devices and understanding developed through clinical research.

Our clients – academic researchers and medical research organizations, are working hard to continue to develop treatments and devices, increase our understanding, eradicate sickness and improve quality of life. Their biggest challenge is spending half of their time searching for and never being able to recruit enough of the patients required for their clinical trials.

Our company – Trialfacts, removes the biggest hurdle and frustration to conducting their research, by recruiting the patients they require for their clinical trials, and many times thereby saving their research. We’re the only company in the industry to also do this in a predictable and reliable manner, by determining upfront exactly how many patients we can recruit, and backing that up with a money-back guarantee.

We're looking for someone who can:

Forecast— At Trialfacts we use data from previous studies to forecast how many volunteers will meet the eligibility criteria and sign up for a particular study. For example, a university researcher may need to enroll diabetics who are non-smokers for a research study in Melbourne, ---------- ing past Trialfacts data and filling in the gaps with online research, you would determine how many patients that met the eligibility criteria we could provide. This requires researching the prevalence of medical conditions (e.g. what percent of the population in Melbourne has diabetes? What proportion are non-smokers?), click-through-rates (e.g. what proportion of diabetics in Melbourne are likely to click on our Facebook ad) and sign-up rates (based on similar previous studies what percentage of diabetics will complete the sign-up form?).

Analyze & Organize Data— Whether it’s absorbing online medical research or analyzing data from past studies we have recruited for, you’ll need to be at home with processes and systems to extract knowledge and insights we're looking for. You’ll also be responsible for collating and effectively labelling data from past studies in order for us to easily to refer back to in the future.

Learn— No experience is necessary, but you’ll need to rapidly develop your data analysis skills and gain a thorough understanding of various medical conditions. You’ll be trained and work closely with our Operations Manager, Jess, so you can hit the ground running, but you’ll also need to be able to independently learn via courses and other resources that we’ll pay for.

What’s in it for you:

Autonomy— We don’t have set working hours. We don’t have a holiday policy (you can take holidays whenever you want). We don’t micromanage or babysit. You’ll be accountable to the rest of the team purely on your results, and not on the number of hours spent working.

Our team is remote (we communicate via Slack, Google Hangouts and Basecamp). We set our own hours based on what works for us and our clients. As long as you have a good internet connection you can work from wherever you ---------- novation— We’re the first and only company in our industry to guarantee our results. We’ve launched innovative patient recruitment strategies (e.g. our phone screening appointment system, researcher interviews ) that provide predictability and certainty in a volatile industry, and we’re constantly improving our ---------- ’s our data-driven approach and continuous focus on innovative patient recruitment strategies that allows us to help our clients successfully reach their goals.

Impact— Trialfacts plays an extremely important role in contributing to medical research and driving humanity forward. Our clients—researchers working at universities, pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, natural medicine companies, hospitals and medical practices—work hard to develop treatments and technology that cure diseases and improve quality of life.

We are the only company that solves recruitment problems in a predictable and reliable way—our consistent, results-driven process makes us the only recruitment company that provides a money-back guarantee.

Growth— As a member of a small team you'll be exposed to many areas of the business. You'll be given the opportunity to learn many new skills and experiment in many new areas, as well as progress and build on what you already know. You'll be testing and implementing new marketing strategies. You'll have access to courses and training programs of your choice, paid for by Trialfacts.

Opportunity— As a small and innovative team we’ve done away with outdated corporate thinking like the physical office, micromanaging and bureaucratic leave processes, but we haven’t thrown the baby out with the bathwater. We offer a stable salary, annual salary review, a personal and tailored development plan reviewed with you every three months, and the possibility to grow into positions of additional responsibility and leadership in the future.

This position is for you if you:

Are fastidious about fact-checking— You love to investigate and won't leave any stone unturned to find the information we are looking for. You're pedantic about sources and will never have any trouble backing up your findings.

Are analytical— You are someone who likes to scrutinise things and has no problem with interpreting large amounts of ---------- fact, the more data, the better. You're able to think outside the box, and can find and implement innovative solutions.

Have great excel skills— Excel sheets are your friends. You love figuring out the right formula, or putting together a robust pivot table.

Are a critical thinker and problem solver— The answer may not always be straightforward and that doesn’t bother you. You’re able to think out the box and draw meaningful conclusions from the resources at hand.

Are highly organized— You'll be helping Jess researching multiple studies every week, each with their own set of unique criteria. If you're not highly organized and comfortable in a fast-paced environment then you're not a good-fit for this role.

Are flexible— In an entrepreneurial business we sometimes have to wear different hats. We're looking for someone that takes ownership and wants to help grow our company. If you're the kind of person who would rather sit back and say "that's not my responsibility" then please don't apply.

Love learning— We're a team that's driven by learning and improving. We're looking for someone who wants to learn and develop their research and data analysis skills, grow as a person and constantly improve the service that we provide.

Are results-driven— You will be coached and guided, but ultimately you will be responsible for your performance which will directly impact your compensation.

Excel at written & spoken English - Being able to write well is a must for any Trialfacts position. Being in a remote team, you must also be great at communicating and comfortable sharing your thoughts - whether it be in Slack or during a team meeting on Zoom. At times you will even use screenshare software (like Loom) to explain a concept or provide feedback.

Are looking for a full-time position— We’re experiencing growth and we need someone who can fully commit to Trialfacts and get up to speed quickly. We’re not looking for someone who has their own part-time business or freelancing career on the ---------- ERESTED IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH US? HERE’S HOW TO APPLY:
