Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Clinical Research Coordinator to support the execution of interventional clinical trials within an academic medical center, hospital, or healthcare research environment.

• Conduct or support participant pre-screening and screening activities.
• Coordinate participant visits, study procedures, follow-up activities, and required assessments.
• Obtain and document informed consent when permitted by protocol, institutional policy, and individual qualifications.
• Administer, deliver, or coordinate investigational products and study medications when permitted by licensure, protocol requirements, and institutional policy.

• Respond to data queries and support timely data reconciliation.
• Track participant status, study visits, deviations, adverse events, and outstanding action items.
• Maintain regulatory documentation and essential study files.
• Collaborate with pharmacy, laboratory, nursing, regulatory, finance, and other cross-functional teams.
• Complete required sponsor, institutional, and protocol-specific training.
• Accurately document time worked and allocate hours to the appropriate study or project.
• Maintain participant confidentiality and comply with HIPAA, GCP, and all applicable regulatory standards.

• Prior experience supporting clinical research studies in a hospital, academic medical center, clinic, or similar research environment.
• Experience coordinating interventional clinical trials.
• Working knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), informed consent requirements, source documentation, and research compliance.
• Experience working with Principal Investigators, clinical staff, sponsors, and cross-functional research teams.
• Ability to independently manage study activities and prioritize work across changing study demands.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, documentation, and communication skills.
