  • Managing relationships with external vendors and service providers, ensuring quality standards are met and timelines for deliverables such as recruitment, data management, and site monitoring are met or exceeded
  • Developing and reviewing study plans, protocols, and related documents, while overseeing site selection, feasibility assessments, and the development of study materials
  • Ensuring studies adhere to regulatory requirements and ethical standards, handling regulatory inspections and audits, and implementing corrective actions when necessary
  • Developing and managing project timelines, milestones, and budgets, ensuring all deliverables are met within the agreed-upon timeframe and budget
  • Identifying potential risks to the study, developing mitigation strategies to address challenges, and resolving issues proactively
  • Overseeing the collection, analysis, and reporting of clinical trial data, ensuring data integrity and quality, accurate data handling, and compliance with data protection regulations
  • Monitoring and ensuring the safety and welfare of study participants by adhering to safety reporting guidelines and promptly addressing any safety concerns
  • Providing guidance and mentorship to other team members, fostering growth and development within the team 

We'd love to hear from you if:

  • You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field, and a minimum of 8 years of demonstrated work experience as a Clinical Project Manager or Clinical Study Manager

  • Early phase clinical trial experience across multiple therapeutic areas is a real asset
  • You have the ability to manage CROs, external vendors, and engage in contract negotiations
  • Organizational and project management skills are a real strength
  • You think strategically and collaborate effectively across teams
  • You are proficient in clinical trial management systems (CTMS), electronic data capture (EDC) systems, and other relevant software
