  • Analyse clinical and operational performance data to inform improvements in trial delivery and resource allocation
  • Manage staffing, resource allocation, and skill mix within budgeted establishments
  • Develop and maintain contingency plans for clinical trial delivery and service continuity
  • Monitor clinical and non‑clinical risks and ensure timely corrective actions are taken
  • Ensure accurate documentation of clinical activities, trial data, and regulatory submissions
  • Support training, education, and professional development of research nurses and support staff
  • Coordinate with CROs, sponsors, internal teams, and external stakeholders to ensure study objectives are met
  • Deputise for the Site Manager/Director in operational and strategic matters
  • Plan and implement site‑specific business strategies in collaboration with leadership

Requirements:

  • Licensed Registered Nurse
  • Experience as a research nurse, including in a senior or lead role within a clinical research environment
  • Ability to manage multiple competing priorities within regulatory and operational frameworks
  • Extensive experience in clinical trial delivery, including IMP management and operational oversight
  • Proven track record coordinating, setting up, and delivering multiple studies in a Clinical Research Facility
