• Partner with study teams and project management to track study progress, support milestones, and drive successful trial execution.
• Maintain strong relationships and regular communication with investigative sites, sponsors, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Review and document site findings, support query resolution, and contribute to Trial Master File and Investigator Site File maintenance.
• Provide leadership and mentorship to less experienced CRAs and contribute to study-specific tools, training initiatives, and operational improvements.

• Medical Doctor (MD) degree or Pharmacy degree with a minimum of 3 years of Clinical Research Associate experience; OR a bachelor's degree in a life science or related field with a minimum of 5 years of CRA experience; OR a nursing/associate degree or equivalent with a minimum of 7 years of CRA experience.
