  • Oversee the selection, contracting, and management of CROs and other vendors to ensure timely and high-quality trial execution.
  • Review and approve vendor budgets and invoices, ensuring alignment with operational plans.
  • Collaborate with patient advocacy groups and external stakeholders to optimize patient recruitment strategies.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with investigators and site staff to support study enrollment and quality.

Operational Infrastructure Development:

  • Partner with the VP of Clinical Operations to structure the department and create a highly effective clinical operations team.
  • Recruit, manage, and develop clinical operations staff to ensure the department’s success.
  • Establish and maintain SOPs, ensuring compliance with ICH-GCP, FDA regulations, and industry best practices.
  • Evaluate and implement innovative tools and processes to enhance trial efficiency and data quality.
  • Collaborate with senior leadership to align clinical operations goals with corporate objectives.

Compliance and Training:

  • Ensure all monitoring activities, study-related processes, and staff training are compliant with regulatory and company standards.
  • Oversee regulatory submissions and approvals, including IRB/IEC and country-specific requirements.


Experience, Skills, and Education:

  • Bachelor’s degree in life sciences or related field; advanced degree preferred.
  • Minimum of 8+ years of clinical operations experience, with strong expertise in managing complex trial designs across multiple phases.
  • At least 4 years of leadership experience in clinical operations, including team and vendor management.
