By partnering closely with investigative sites, study teams, and sponsors, you’ll help drive high‑quality data collection while supporting patient safety and regulatory compliance throughout the clinical research process.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of site management activities across the study lifecycle, from feasibility and site initiation through monitoring and close‑out. Your expertise will contribute to the successful delivery of clinical research programs while building strong relationships with site personnel and cross‑functional teams.

You’ll also have the opportunity to provide guidance to colleagues, contribute to study planning activities, and support operational excellence across global clinical trials.

• Assess site performance and provide training and guidance to site personnel to promote protocol adherence, data quality, and patient safety.
• Perform source document verification and review study data to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance.
• Support regulatory and ethics documentation activities, ensuring study files remain inspection‑ready and up to date.
• Partner with study teams and project management to track study progress, support milestones, and drive successful trial execution.
• Maintain strong relationships and regular communication with investigative sites, sponsors, and cross‑functional stakeholders.
• Review and document site findings, support query resolution, and contribute to Trial Master File and Investigator Site File maintenance.
• Provide leadership and mentorship to less experienced CRAs and contribute to study‑specific tools, training initiatives, and operational improvements.

What You’ll Bring

• Medical Doctor (MD) degree or Pharmacy degree with a minimum of 3 years of Clinical Research Associate experience; OR a bachelor's degree in a life science or related field with a minimum of 5 years of CRA experience; OR a nursing/associate degree or equivalent with a minimum of 7 years of CRA experience.
• Strong clinical monitoring experience across the full study lifecycle, including site qualification, initiation, monitoring and close‑out activities.
