A client sends a protocol, a spreadsheet, three emails, several unanswered questions, and asks for a proposal.
Can you turn that into a study we can actually sell and deliver?
That is the job.
RDI designs and runs diagnostic clinical studies. Many of the opportunities we receive are not neatly packaged RFQs. The requirements can be incomplete, assumptions can conflict, and the obvious study design is not always the best one.
We need someone to own the path from client request to executable proposal.
This is not proposal coordination. It is not formatting documents or collecting inputs from other departments.
You are expected to understand the study, find what is missing, work out how it should operate, build the economics, and move it forward.
You will:
You like ambiguous problems.
You are comfortable with both words and numbers. You can build a model in Excel, understand a clinical workflow, and explain the answer in plain English.
You may come from CRO proposals, clinical operations, project management, diagnostics, research sites, consulting, or another project-based business.
IVD experience is a major advantage. Curiosity and judgment matter more.
The strongest candidate is likely someone who has repeatedly found themselves doing more than their formal job: fixing scopes, rebuilding budgets, challenging assumptions, or turning somebody else's vague idea into an actual plan.
If your instinct when information is incomplete is “I cannot proceed,” this role will be miserable.
Because you want to own the thinking behind the proposal, not just produce the document.
You will work directly with the people running the studies and with senior leadership. You will see which assumptions were right, which were wrong, and what happened after the client signed.
Very few proposal roles give you that feedback loop.
Your work becomes real clinical studies.
This role is in person at our Los Angeles / Van Nuys office, five days a week. Relocation assistance is available.
RDI is an IVD-focused CRO. Since 2008, we have run hundreds of diagnostic trials for leading test manufacturers.
We are a small team that moves quickly and expects people to take real ownership. There is no large proposal department to hide inside and no reason to wait three meetings for an answer you can figure out yourself.
For the right person, that is the attraction.
Our recruiting process is management-led. If your background is a strong fit, you will hear directly from RDI senior leadership for an initial conversation.
Given applicant volume, we cannot respond to everyone, but we respond to every strong application.
