Site Budget Setup Analyst I

When our values align, there's no limit to what we can achieve.
 
At Parexel, we all share the same goal - to improve the world's health. From clinical trials to regulatory, consulting, and market access, every clinical development solution we provide is underpinned by something special - a deep conviction in what we do.

Each of us, no matter what we do at Parexel, contributes to the development of a therapy that ultimately will benefit a patient. We take our work personally, we do it with empathy and we're committed to making a difference.

The Budget Setup Specialist I is expected to set up and maintain budgeted values in the payment system for expenses outlined in Parexel’s contractual agreements between the sponsor, participating institutions, and investigators with direct supervision. Modifications to existing budget templates are also completed upon request due to amended contracts and other requests that affect payments. 

The Budget Setup Specialist I receives assignments based on tickets submitted to the Investigator Fund Setup in the Assyst Ticketing tool. The Investigator Setup Specialist I is expected to understand the basic requirements to create a new or modify an existing budget template with supervision. The most essential knowledge component required is understanding the contract expense details and applying the budget breakdown to the design pattern in the investigator payment system.
