Junior (1 to 2 years)
Candidates should have at least 3 years of independent site monitoring experience covering all visit types, from site selection to close-out. Experience with Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCT) and central monitoring approaches, including reviewing data trends and anomalies, is required. A strong working knowledge of GCP/GDP and regulatory requirements, along with an awareness of potential changes in the regulatory environment, is necessary. The ideal candidate is autonomous, proactive, organized, creative, and possesses excellent attention to detail and communication skills. Prior experience in a startup or early-stage environment is advantageous.
The freelance CRA will provide end-to-end site lifecycle support, primarily for a large US-based trial, ensuring effective monitoring according to protocols. This includes writing Monitoring Plans, conducting primarily remote site monitoring visits, and creating reports for all visit types. The role involves coordinating and leading monitoring activities autonomously, identifying and managing issues, and advising Trial Managers on process improvements. Responsibilities also include contributing to the design and shaping of the Citrus trial monitoring platform and potentially supporting other trials as needed.
