Manager, Clinical Operations – Global Clinical Trials

Location: Hyderabad, India (Hybrid)
Company: Syneos Health
Job ID: 25106389
Experience Required: 8–12 years (Not suitable for freshers)


About the Company

Syneos Health is a globally established, fully integrated biopharmaceutical solutions organization specializing in clinical development, commercialization, and consulting services. The organization partners with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies to accelerate innovation and improve patient outcomes across global markets.


Job Overview

The Manager, Clinical Operations is a strategic leadership role responsible for overseeing end-to-end clinical trial operations, from site selection and study start-up to monitoring and study close-out. This role involves direct line management of Clinical Operations teams, ensuring high-quality execution, regulatory compliance, and timely delivery of clinical projects.

This position is ideal for experienced clinical research professionals with strong leadership capabilities and a deep understanding of global clinical trial operations, regulatory frameworks, and team management.


Key Responsibilities

  • Provide direct line management and leadership to Clinical Operations teams, including hiring, performance management, training, and career development

  • Oversee clinical trial activities including site selection, site contracts, regulatory and ethics submissions, site activation, monitoring, and study close-out

  • Ensure compliance with global regulatory standards including ICH-GCP, SOPs, and local regulatory requirements

  • Monitor team performance, workload distribution, and resource planning to ensure optimal project delivery

  • Lead operational planning, risk management, and contingency strategy development for clinical studies

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Data Management, Pharmacovigilance, Regulatory Affairs, and Project Management

  • Support business development initiatives and represent Clinical Operations in client discussions and proposals

  • Conduct performance reviews, training programs, and process improvement initiatives at business unit level

  • Utilize dashboards, metrics, and reporting systems to track study progress, identify risks, and ensure quality control

  • Facilitate internal meetings, audits, and inspection readiness activities


Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, Pharmacy, Nursing, or related field (advanced degree preferred)

  • 8–12 years of clinical research experience within CRO, pharmaceutical, or biotechnology organizations

  • Proven leadership experience managing large teams (typically 10–15+ direct reports)

  • Strong expertise in clinical trial operations, regulatory submissions, and study start-up processes

  • In-depth knowledge of ICH-GCP guidelines and global regulatory requirements

  • Experience in managing clinical portfolios and operational delivery across multiple studies

  • Strong communication, stakeholder management, and decision-making skills

  • Knowledge of budgeting, forecasting, and financial aspects of clinical trials

  • Ability to travel up to 25% as required


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Leadership opportunity in global clinical trials with high operational impact

  • Exposure to multinational studies and diverse therapeutic areas

  • Strong career growth within a globally recognized CRO ecosystem

  • Opportunity to influence strategy, team performance, and clinical outcomes


Important Note for Applicants

This is a leadership-level position requiring significant prior experience in clinical operations and team management. Freshers and early-career professionals should consider roles such as Clinical Trial Associate (CTA), Clinical Research Associate (CRA), or Clinical Operations Coordinator as entry pathways into this domain.
