Job Summary (Clinical Research / Risk Management Focus)

Syneos Health is seeking a Central Risk Manager to drive Risk-Based Central Monitoring (RBM/RBQM) across global clinical programs. You will operationalize central statistical monitoring, define and track KRIs, QTLs, data anomalies, protocol deviations, and risk signals, and partner with study teams to implement proactive, data-driven mitigation strategies. This role is ideal for clinical data/risk leaders with strong knowledge of ICH-GCP, ICH E6(R2/R3), ICH E8(R1) and experience with central data surveillance, analytics, and operational risk governance in clinical trials.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead risk-based central monitoring (RBCM/RBM/RBQM) strategy and execution across assigned studies and programs.

  • Define, configure, and routinely evaluate KRIs (Key Risk Indicators), QTLs (Quality Tolerance Limits), thresholds, and risk signals.

  • Implement and maintain central statistical monitoring (CSM) methodologies to detect data inconsistencies, site outliers, fraud indicators, and protocol deviations.

  • Collaborate with Clinical Operations, Data Management, Biostatistics, Medical Monitoring, and QA to triage/site actions, initiate CAPAs, and ensure ongoing risk mitigation.

  • Generate and interpret risk dashboards and analytics (e.g., Spotfire, Power BI, SAS/R, Python-based insights) to drive data-driven decision-making.

  • Author, review, and maintain Risk Assessment & Categorization Tools (RACTs), Risk Management Plans, Central Monitoring Plans, and associated SOPs.

  • Ensure compliance with ICH-GCP, ICH E6(R2/R3), ICH E8(R1), ISO 14155, and internal QA standards.

  • Support audit/inspection readiness, provide responses to regulatory queries, and contribute to inspection/audit CAPAs.

  • Train study teams on RBQM processes, signal detection, KRI interpretation, and central monitoring tools.

  • Contribute to continuous process improvement, automation, and standardization of RBM processes across portfolios.


Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Strong experience (years not stated in JD—apply if you have solid RBM/RBQM/RBCM exposure in clinical trials) in central monitoring, clinical data surveillance, or data-driven clinical risk management.

  • Deep understanding of ICH-GCP, ICH E6(R2/R3), ICH E8(R1), FDA/EMA RBQM expectations, and modern risk-based quality management (RBQM) frameworks.

  • Hands-on experience with KRI/QTL design, central statistical monitoring, data visualization, trend analysis, and CAPA management.

  • Proficiency with analytics/visualization tools (e.g., Spotfire, Power BI, JReview, SAS, R, Python) and EDC/eTMF/CTMS ecosystems.

  • Familiarity with MedDRA, coding dictionaries, safety data streams, and clinical data standards (CDISC/SDTM) is a plus.

  • Excellent cross-functional communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills.

  • Ability to operate in a fast-paced, global CRO environment with multiple concurrent studies.


Perks & Benefits (as stated/highlighted by Syneos Health)

  • Career development & progression, technical and therapeutic area training.

  • Supportive, engaged line management and peer recognition programs.

  • Total Self culture promoting authenticity, inclusivity, and well-being.

  • Opportunity to work with a top global biopharma partner that supported 94% of Novel FDA Approvals (5 years), 95% of EMA Authorized Products, 200+ studies, 73,000+ sites, and 675,000+ trial patients.
