Clinical trial operations and oversight for pharmaceutical companies
KPS Life operates as a clinical research services provider focused on trial execution and quality assurance for pharmaceutical companies. The tech stack is heavy on Microsoft Office and SAP—enterprise tools typical of large-scale operational coordination—with no active cloud or analytics adoption visible. Hiring is concentrated in healthcare and operations roles, with clinical study leads and senior-level positions driving activity, suggesting they are scaling execution capacity rather than building new IP.

KPS Life partners with global pharmaceutical companies to improve the quality and execution of clinical trials. Based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, the company operates across multiple functional areas including clinical monitoring, clinical operations, CRO oversight, quality control, and data review. They deploy subject matter experts for inspection readiness, protocol design, site monitoring, and regulatory compliance—addressing common friction points in trial timelines and budget control. The business model is outsourcing-focused: they act as a functional service provider and CRO optimization partner, meaning they embed into sponsor teams or manage vendor relationships on their behalf.
KPS Life has active hiring in the United States, Japan, Poland, Greece, and Argentina, with accelerating velocity across healthcare, operations, and research roles.
The primary stack is Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint, SharePoint) plus SAP for enterprise operations, Microsoft Project for planning, and Adobe Acrobat Pro for document management.
Active initiatives include inspection readiness planning, clinical protocol design, data collection system implementation, site monitoring process improvement, investigator payment solutions, and eTMF (electronic trial master file) management.
