Contract records management role at a major BioTech in Boston area.

Our client has an immediate opening for someone to implement an infrastructure against an existing retention schedule.  The role requires an RM pro, ideally from BioTech/Pharma, to answer questions such as, “I just received a box of materials from a merger/an employee who left the company/a completed project; what are the procedures for keeping, destroying, and managing the materials?”  This is a 6 month contract that could become permanent (but there is neither guarantee nor pressure on the candidate to do so).
