  • 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
  • Dependent on level of experience you may assist in training and mentoring less experienced CRA’s and/or manage CRA’s working on international projects 
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
