    Safeguard the rights and well-being of human subjects by ensuring that clinical trials are conducted in accordance with protocols, Good Clinical Practices (GCP), and regulatory requirements.

  • Drive Productivity:
    Collaborate with clinical sites to develop patient recruitment strategies and meet enrollment timelines. Ensure full compliance with SOPs, protocol amendments, GCP, and other regulatory requirements.

  • Ensure Quality:
    Evaluate the quality and integrity of the data being reported, the effectiveness of the trial, and the proper handling of investigational products. Perform site document verification and monitor regulatory documentation.

  • Execute and Report:
    Provide timely reports on site status, addressing any challenges or discrepancies in the study. Ensure accurate documentation and adherence to study timelines and budgets.


More About You:

    • At least 18 months of CRA monitoring experience in clinical research, with a strong understanding of clinical trial methodologies and terminology.
