POSTED ON 11/9/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/29/2027
Pay Rate Low: 75 | Pay Rate High: 85

We are seeking a high-level, technically proficient Principal CRA to oversee complex monitoring activities for specialized Medical Device trials.

Job Title: Senior / Principal Clinical Research Associate (Medical Device)

Location: Remote

Term: 12-Month Renewable Contract (Plus Benefits)

Compensation: $75-85/hr

Travel: Approximately 60% (2 weeks per month on-site) The Role

We are seeking a high-level, technically proficient Senior or Principal CRA to oversee complex monitoring activities for specialized Medical Device trials. Unlike high-volume CRO environments, this role requires a "hands-on" expert who possesses the deep clinical intuition and technical skills that only come with years of dedicated field experience.

You will manage site performance across the country, focusing on high-enrollment sites and long-term follow-up monitoring.

What Sets You Apart

  • True Seniority: You have 5 years of experience and have mastered the nuances of site management. You are looking for a role where your actual skill set—not just your title—is utilized.
  • Medical Device Expertise: You have a proven track record specifically in the Medical Device sector. Experience in Cardiology is a significant advantage.
  • Site Management Prowess: You prioritize site health and data integrity over "checking boxes." You excel at managing site volume, patient enrollment, and rigorous long-term monitoring.
  • Stability: Your career history reflects commitment and steady growth rather than rapid-fire jumping or title inflation.

Core Responsibilities

  • Conduct comprehensive monitoring visits (PSV, SIV, RM, COV) across country
  • Manage a high volume of site activities, ensuring adherence to protocols, IDE regulations, and ISO 14155 standards.
  • Drive enrollment and oversee long-term patient follow-up for complex device studies.
  • Act as a primary liaison for clinical sites, fostering strong investigator relationships.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years of CRA experience (must be at a Senior or Principal level).
  • Direct Medical Device monitoring experience is required.
  • Cardiology therapeutic experience is highly preferred.
  • Experience outside of "Big CRO" environments is preferred; we value versatile talent capable of working independently.
  • Ability to travel 60% of the time (approx. 2 weeks/month).
  • Must be based in the U.S.; Central Time Zone is a plus to bridge Eastern and Western engagements.
