  • Participate in preparing and reviewing study documentation and feasibility studies for new proposals as required
  • Managing sponsor generated queries efficiently and responsible for study cost effectiveness

What you need
  • 18 months+ of monitoring experience in phase I-III trials as a CRA
  • Availability to travel (plane or car) 60%
  • Knowledge of ICG GCP guidelines and expertise to review and evaluate medical data
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, both written and verbal enabling you to deal with queries in a timely manner
  • Ability to produce accurate work to tight deadlines within a pressurized environment

Why join us?
Ongoing development is vital to us, and as a Senior CRA you will have the opportunity to progress your career, with the potential to move into other related areas to enhance your skill set. Our benefits package is competitive, our scope is international and we genuinely care about our people and their success.
