Responsibilities

- Serve as the go-to problem solver when complex site operational challenges arise.
- Serve as a primary point of contact for sponsors, CROs, and CRAs. Lead SQV calls and follow-ups, triage sponsor communications, negotiate contract terms within authority, and authorize study holds when warranted.
- Direct trial execution across sites, including workflow mapping, SIV launches, referral engagement, randomization sign-off, and resolution of protocol-level questions. Ensure no study is paused or terminated for site-controllable reasons.
- Host regular PI touchpoints, attend sponsor and CRA calls, and coach PIs on enrollment performance and expectations.
- Run the site operating rhythm, such as daily stand-ups, weekly all-staff and PI syncs, and cross-site Lead CRC meetings.
Who is a good fit?
- Deep understanding of clinical research workflows, GCP/ICH guidelines, FDA regulations, and sponsor expectations.
- Minimum of 2 years of experience managing multiple clinical research sites
- Strong ability to figure out complex problems with limited direction.
