About the Role
The Senior Clinical Research Associate (Sr. CRA) serves as a critical guardian of patient safety and study integrity, managing the full lifecycle of assigned clinical trial sites from activation through database lock. This role exists to ensure that clinical trials are executed with the highest standards of quality, adhering to Good Clinical Practices (GCP), applicable laws, and the Sponsor's rigorous internal standards.
In this position, you will act as the primary point of contact for investigator sites, fostering strong relationships that drive effective study delivery. Your day-to-day involves a dynamic blend of onsite and remote monitoring, where you will oversee operational aspects, manage adverse events, and resolve protocol-related issues in real-time. You will partner closely with the Site Care Partner (SCP) and the broader study team to coach site personnel, support recruitment initiatives, and ensure that sites remain engaged and compliant throughout the trial.
Beyond monitoring, you will serve as a scientific liaison, interacting with healthcare professionals to enhance the Sponsor's credibility and facilitate their clinical development goals. Whether attending investigator meetings, driving audit remediation, or managing investigational product oversight, your work directly impacts the success of the trial and the trust placed in the organization by external stakeholders.
