    • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior CRAs and assist in training new staff.
  • Study Lifecycle & Audit Readiness:

    • Participate in investigator meetings and sponsor face-to-face meetings as required.
    • Provide guidance towards audit readiness and support audit preparations and follow-up actions.
    • Collaborate with other team members to identify site recruitment strategies, support patient retention, and ensure regulatory compliance throughout the study lifecycle.
  • Real World Late Phase Studies (RWLP):

    • For RWLP studies, you will assist in site support, chart abstraction, and collaborate with regulatory teams to ensure up-to-date regulatory information.
    • Provide input on site selection based on knowledge of local treatment patterns, patient advocacy, and healthcare provider associations.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or RN in a related field, or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
  • Strong knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), ICH Guidelines, and other applicable regulatory requirements.
