Loyal is looking for a consultant to support our documentation development for clinical trials. This role will report to Tennery Carttar, our Clinical Operations Manager, and facilitate the establishment of our clinical operations templates, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Work Instructions (WINs), as well as advise on regulatory and reporting requirements specific to veterinary clinical trials.

• • Finalization / signoff on drafted SOPs
  • Finalization / signoff on drafted WINs
  • Advisory on nuances of clinical research for animal health studies vs. human
  • Scope of work would require roughly 10-20 hours / week for 4-6 weeks, with ability to extend as needed

About you

• • 7+ years of experience in animal health clinical research (sponsor-side or CRO-side preferred, IIT also okay)
  • Deep understanding of the regulatory context and operational realities of veterinary clinical trials
  • Talented at developing documentation (e.g., attention to detail, managing version control, etc.)
  • Experience with eDC and CTMS/eTMF systems like Prelude and Veeva preferred, but not required

Loyal is developing drugs to extend dog lifespan; we aim to build the defining aging company. Founded in early 2020, we have already raised over $50M from Khosla, First Round Capital, Collaborative Fund, Longevity Fund, Quiet Capital, BoxGroup, and more. Our mission is to bring to market the first FDA approved drugs intended to extend lifespan (years of life) and healthspan (quality of life). We aspire to build a pharma brand people love around deeply technical products.

While we are currently focusing on dogs, our ultimate aim is to take what we learn in dogs to humans, and build the company that catalyzes and captures the public’s excitement around aging therapeutics.

Health | Good health is critical to every other human (and animal!) experience. We believe health is a fundamental right and are dedicating our lives to maximizing health and developing better medicines for the worst diseases.

Seeking & Feedback Loops | Uniquely in biology, there is a predetermined truth of whether a specific drug will work or not — we just have to catch up with biology! We seek out this truth and do not shy away from inconvenient truths. This holds for personal development too: we are always searching for feedback loops and embody a perpetual growth mindset.

Transparency | We believe full transparency in thoughts, opinions, intentions, and actions (both good ones and mistakes) is a better way to build a business and work together.

Morality & Empathy | We are developing medicines that may one day be given to a living animal, medicines that if designed badly could hurt that animal instead of help. This is a huge responsibility and should be respected as such. Our work needs to adhere to the strictest moral code and always integrate empathy for the patient.

Kindness | Great business(wo)men do not need to be ruthless — you can execute excellently with kindness.

Dog gifs | We love them.
