The **Site Payments Associate I** plays a critical role in strengthening Intelligent Grant Forecasting (IGF) compliance and improving the accuracy of financial planning across clinical trials. This position is dedicated to supporting the end-to-end integration of Clinical Trial Agreement (CTA) budget data into the IGF system, ensuring that executed budgets are uploaded promptly, accurately, and consistently.
This said role will address the operational gap caused by manual and delayed transfer of executed budget information from CTAs to IGF. These delays currently limit real-time visibility into financial commitments, reduce forecast accuracy, and create misalignment between operational spending and forecasted projections—often resulting in the need for concessions to explain variance to targets. By ensuring timely data loading and close coordination with cross-functional teams, the SPA I will help maintain data integrity and enhance real-time financial transparency.
