Who this is for — and who it isn't for

This is a hands-on senior monitoring position for experienced CRAs who are comfortable spending significant time at clinical sites.

This role could be for you if...

  • You enjoy being onsite and working directly with clinical research sites.
  • You are comfortable travelling approximately 75% of the time.
  • You already have independent onsite monitoring experience.
  • You can confidently manage sites without constant supervision.
  • You enjoy taking ownership and supporting less experienced CRAs.

This probably isn't for you if...

  • You're looking for a mainly desk-based monitoring role.
  • Travelling approximately 75% of the time isn't something you want.
  • You haven't independently monitored clinical trials onsite yet.
  • You're looking for an entry-level CRA position.
