Responsibilities

Study Management

  • Serve as the primary contact for the Sponsor, vendors, and the internal team throughout the study.
  • Ensure studies are always "audit-ready" (training records, central files, system validation).
  • Manage trial timelines, budgets, resources, and vendors; coordinate tasks and deliverables across functional departments.
  • Control project budgets by reviewing time allocation, managing billable hours, and identifying out-of-scope activities for change orders.
  • Provide regular updates to stakeholders regarding site selection, vendor selection, trial progress, and timelines.
  • Lead the study start-up process, including Trial Kick-off meetings, site selection and activation, vendor set-up, and site contracting.
  • Implement risk management strategies to assure project quality and escalate issues to management when necessary.

Quality Control and Risk Management

  • Monitor the quality of study deliverables, including those from vendors and subCROs, addressing any quality issues with the appropriate team members.
  • Analyze discrepancies between planned and actual results and implement corrective actions.
  • Ensure all project-specific training matrices are customized and maintained.
  • Review and approve responses to quality assurance audits in line with SOPs and regulatory requirements.
  • Ensure study-specific documents (protocols, informed consent forms, eCRFs, etc.) are developed on time and meet study requirements.

Documentation and Reporting

  • Ensure all project-level study documentation is filed in the Trial Master File (TMF) in accordance with SOPs and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintain accurate and current TMF documentation throughout the study.
  • Report project status updates to internal and external stakeholders, ensuring compliance with the study budget, scope, and timelines.
  • Manage recruitment status and implement initiatives to mitigate slippage in recruitment timelines.
  • Participate in Investigator's Meetings and support the Regulatory Affairs team to ensure timely submissions.

SubCRO and Site Support

  • Oversee the work of subCROs, ensuring deliverables are provided on time and meet required quality standards and KPIs.
  • Collaborate with the Director of Project Management to build and maintain relationships with APAC subCRO partners.
  • Ensure that sites have all the necessary materials and equipment to perform the study.

Team Leadership

  • Mentor and provide technical, therapeutic, and project management expertise to junior staff.
  • Support ongoing learning and development for the team.
