Manager, Study Activation

START Center for Cancer Research ("START") is the world's largest early phase site network, fully dedicated to oncology clinical research.Throughout our history, START has provided hope to cancer patients in global community practices by offering access to cutting edge trials throughout the US and Europe.Today, with over 1,300 studies completed, and with research facilities in the United States and in Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, START's mission is to accelerate the development of new anticancer drugs that will improve the quality of life and survival for patients with cancer and lead to its eventual cure.To date, over 43 therapies conducted at START locations have obtained FDA/EMA approval.Incredibly, while Academic Medical Centers (AMCs) conduct 80% of cancer trials, such trials reach only 20% of the patient population – leaving the majority of patients who are treated in community practices and hospitals without access to a clinical trial when their care journey calls for one.START serves the many – by bringing cancer trials to physicians and their patients in community hospitals and practices when hope is needed most.We are hiring aManager, Study Activation (Remote)who is responsible for managing and coordinating activities and activation deliverables related to initiating a clinical trial.This role will lead all pre-award and start-up activities including site selection, activation, and preparation for patient enrollment.This role provides direction and oversight to the Pre-Award and Study Start-Up teams.This is a remote role.The annual base salary for this role is $100,000 -
