Make an Impact as a Senior CRA at Worldwide

As a Senior CRA, you'll play a critical role in advancing clinical research by ensuring studies are delivered with quality, compliance, and patient safety at the forefront. You'll serve as a trusted partner to investigative sites, sponsors, and study teams, helping drive successful study execution from site qualification through closeout.

In this role, you'll take ownership of monitoring activities across multiple studies while supporting data integrity, protocol compliance, and regulatory requirements. You'll also have the opportunity to provide leadership, mentor less experienced CRAs, and contribute to study planning, training, and operational excellence.

Your expertise will help ensure high-quality clinical trial delivery, supporting the development of therapies that can make a meaningful difference for patients worldwide.

Where You'll Work

This is a home-based Clinical Research Associate role supporting sites across Brazil. Candidates must reside within the territory to effectively support site visits and study activities.

To best support our sites, we're seeking candidates who are based in Brazil. Travel will primarily be regional, with occasional travel to support sites in other locations as needed.

What You'll Do

• Lead site qualification, initiation, monitoring, and closeout visits while ensuring adherence to study protocols, GCP, and regulatory requirements.
• Oversee site performance, data quality, and patient safety through effective monitoring, source document verification, and risk identification.
• Build strong relationships with investigative sites, providing training, guidance, and ongoing support to promote protocol compliance and study success.
• Coordinate and review study documentation, regulatory submissions, investigator site files, and Trial Master File updates to maintain inspection readiness.
• Partner with project teams to track study milestones, evaluate deliverables, and contribute to operational planning and execution.
• Serve as a Lead CRA on global studies by coordinating monitoring activities and supporting less experienced CRAs through mentoring and training.
• Facilitate resolution of data queries, review paper and electronic CRFs, and support timely, accurate study data collection.
• Contribute to study team meetings, investigator meetings, bid defenses, monitoring plans, and the development of study-specific tools and training materials.

What You'll Bring

• Medical Doctor (MD) degree or Pharmacy degree with at least 3 years of Clinical Research Associate experience; OR a four-year degree in a life science-related field with at least 5 years of CRA experience; OR a two-year college curriculum/equivalent training (nursing or life science preferred) with at least 7 years of CRA experience.
• Extensive knowledge of clinical research processes, GCP, ICH guidelines, FDA and/or EU regulations, and local regulatory requirements.
• Demonstrated experience independently managing site monitoring activities across the clinical trial lifecycle.
• Strong understanding of multiple therapeutic areas and the ability to function as a Lead CRA.
• Experience in full-service monitoring preferred.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, IxRS platforms, and electronic data capture (EDC) systems.
• Excellent communication, organization, time management, problem-solving, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to mentor and influence others.
