Study Start Up Project Manager

As a Study Start Up Project Manager you will be joining the world’s largest & most comprehensive clinical research organisation, powered by healthcare intelligence.

What you will be doing:

• The SUPM is responsible for delivering site activations to plan, for the SUPM II this will
generally be for studies with higher operational complexity (based on a combination of factors such
study design, country and site footprint and the priority of the study). Responsibility can be for
all sites for an entire study or a portion of sites in specific countries in one or more regions.
• As part of the responsibility of delivering site activations to plan the SUPM will co-ordinate
with many different roles working at the study and country level to oversee progress of the study
specific (e.g. Vendor set-up, investigational product supply etc.) or country specific tasks (e.g.
Regulatory submissions, importer of record for supplies etc.) that need to be completed in order
for site activations in turn to complete.
• Provide project management of activities directly required to complete all site activations for
an assigned study as part of a study management led team to complete all start up activities for a
study.
• Lead start up meetings that facilitate alignment of site selection to activation activities
performed by country level start up roles with the endorsed trial optimization plan (by senior
leadership). Start up meetings use the ongoing risk assessment of site activation delivery to form
a focused agenda according to risk level, the overall goal is the delivery of major study
milestones to plan (e.g. first subject first visit) as well as the overall delivery of major site
activations to plan (25%, 50% and 90% of planned site activations)
• The SUPM will work with country level start up roles to seek opportunities to accelerate site
activations for their study, they will do so while considering the relative priority of their study
compared to all concurrent studies in start up that country level start up roles are working on.
• Act as a key point of escalations for site activation related issues raised by country level
start up roles, seeking to firstly resolve issues directly or triage appropriately to other SUPMs
on the study or the study management team, will always follow through to resolution.
• Responsible for the completeness and quality of site activation timeline plans for every site
from investigator initiation package sent for first site in study, to site activation complete for
last site in study. Will work with and drive all timeline plan owners (e.g. country start up roles)
to actively manage the site activation timeline plans for their assigned sites. The SUPM will have
a detailed understanding of the timeline for every site
