Working closely with Site Activation, Regulatory, Clinical Operations and other cross-functional teams to identify and resolve issues that could impact site timelines.
Supporting ongoing site maintenance activities throughout the study lifecycle.
Proactively identifying potential delays or operational challenges and driving appropriate follow-up with sites and internal stakeholders.
Contributing to process improvements and sharing best practices across the wider team.
Providing guidance and support to more junior colleagues where appropriate.

Your Profile

You will bring previous clinical research experience together with a strong understanding of site-level processes and European clinical trial requirements.

Required qualifications and experience:

Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, healthcare or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant clinical research experience.
Previous experience in site support, site activation, study start-up, regulatory or clinical trial operations within a CRO, pharmaceutical company or similar clinical research environment.
