Data QC Analyst

About the role

Nexa Trials operates a centralized data quality function from Dubai, supporting sponsor and CRO programs across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and broader GCC site networks. As a Data QC Analyst, you will execute source-to-EDC reconciliation, discrepancy detection, and query management for studies running on NexaSource™ capture and Nexa Bus™ automated transfers.

Quality is not a checkbox at Nexa Trials — it is how we earn sponsor trust. You will compare eSource records against EDC submissions, identify root causes of mapping errors or site documentation gaps, and drive queries to resolution with coordinators and data managers. Your work directly reduces inspection risk and keeps database lock timelines on track.

You will report to the Middle East QC Lead and collaborate with clinical coordinators in Canada, data architects in Austin, and engineering teams in Lahore. This hybrid role is based in Dubai with flexibility for remote days and occasional regional site or sponsor meetings.

Responsibilities

• Perform systematic source-to-EDC QC checks — comparing NexaSource records, uploaded documents, and EDC field values against mapping specifications
• Identify, classify, and document discrepancies with clear evidence trails suitable for sponsor audit and inspection
• Author, route, and track data queries through resolution — coordinating with site coordinators, CRAs, and sponsor data managers
• Monitor Nexa Bus transfer logs and error reports; escalate systemic mapping or integration issues to data architecture and engineering
• Maintain QC workbooks, trend reports, and KPI dashboards for assigned study portfolios
• Support database lock readiness — final QC sweeps, query closure verification, and documentation package assembly
• Apply ICH-GCP and ALCOA+ principles to all QC activities; flag potential protocol deviations or data integrity concerns
• Contribute to QC SOPs, checklists, and training materials that standardize quality operations across regions
• Participate in sponsor and CRO data review meetings as the Nexa Trials QC representative

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in clinical data management, data QC, or clinical research associate roles with substantive data review responsibility
• Working knowledge of ICH-GCP and data integrity requirements for clinical trial data
• Experience with source-to-EDC reconciliation, manual review, or centralized monitoring workflows
• Proficiency with at least one major EDC platform and comfort navigating eSource or hybrid capture environments
• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accuracy across high-volume, multi-site study portfolios
• Clear written communication for query text, discrepancy narratives, and sponsor-facing QC summaries
• Eligible to work in the United Arab Emirates
• Professional working proficiency in English; Arabic language skills valued for regional site engagement

Nice to have

• Experience with NexaSource, custom eSource platforms, or automated eSource-to-EDC transfer pipelines
• Exposure to GCC regulatory context — MOHAP, SFDA, or regional ethics committee requirements
• Familiarity with Medidata Rave, Veeva, or Oracle Clinical One query modules
• Basic SQL or Excel advanced skills for trend analysis and QC sampling
• Prior work with CRO centralized monitoring or sponsor-led data quality programs
• CDISC awareness or experience supporting SDTM-ready dataset reviews
