Primary Purpose:

The Lead TMF Specialist serves as the functional TMF lead on assigned studies, ensuring that the Trial Master File (TMF) is audit and inspection-ready at all times. This role drives TMF completeness, leads documentation activities, oversees TMF specialists, and ensures adherence to corporate SOPs and industry best practices. You’ll be a subject matter expert (SME) on eTMF systems and processes, building partnerships with internal teams and sponsors to maintain high-quality documentation throughout the study lifecycle.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Act as SME in TMF processes, eTMF applications, and document identification/filing.

  • Own and manage the TMF Plan/Index; identify expected documents and track study events.

  • Review Statement of Work (SoW) to align TMF activities accordingly and distinguish between in-scope and out-of-scope tasks.

  • Maintain study TMFs in accordance with ICH/GCP guidelines and TMF Reference Models.

  • Collaborate with sponsors on TMF practices and represent TMF Operations in audits and inspections.

  • Provide mentorship and guidance to TMF Specialists on study documentation best practices.

  • Lead the development of SOPs, templates, and quality control guidelines related to TMF activities.

  • Support eTMF feature implementation and system change management with Clinical Systems Manager.

  • Gain expertise in both internal and sponsor-selected eTMF platforms, especially Veeva Vault.

  • Drive innovation in TMF processes using automation, RPA, AI, or ML technologies.

  • Execute lifecycle tasks in eTMF applications (set-up, EDL updates, metrics, reviews, close-out, archiving, etc.).


Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree, preferably in a scientific discipline.

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in Clinical Operations or TMF management.

  • Strong knowledge of eTMF applications and filing procedures.

  • Experience ensuring TMF inspection readiness and identifying documentation gaps.

  • Proficiency in Veeva Vault is highly desirable.

  • Project management experience is a plus.

  • In-depth knowledge of GCP and TMF regulatory standards, including TMF Reference Model.
