You will play a key role in developing activation strategies, managing critical milestones, and ensuring regulatory and operational requirements are met. Working closely with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders, you will proactively identify risks and implement solutions to keep projects on track. You will also serve as a subject matter expert, providing guidance, training, and mentorship to colleagues on country-specific start-up processes. This role offers the opportunity to influence clinical research delivery, strengthen operational excellence, and contribute to successful clinical trial execution in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

  • Develop, coordinate, and communicate critical path plans covering IRB/EC and CA/MoH submissions, informed consent form (ICF) customization, risk mitigation, contract execution, and investigational medicinal product (IMP) release requirements.
  • Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to establish milestones, align operational objectives, and ensure the timely delivery of site start-up activities.
  • Participate in client meetings to define delivery expectations, communication plans, risk mitigation strategies, reporting requirements, and performance metrics.
  • Work closely with functional leaders and site start-up specialists to identify potential delivery risks, implement mitigation plans, and protect project timelines.
  • Oversee the accuracy and real-time maintenance of tracking systems and documentation to monitor progress against study, country, and site-level milestones.
  • Coordinate document translations required for regulatory and ethics committee submissions.
  • Maintain close communication with Feasibility, Clinical Operations, Project Management, Regulatory Affairs, and Site Contracts teams to ensure alignment on country-specific deliverables and project status.
  • Act as the subject matter expert for country-level start-up requirements, including regulatory and ethics committee timelines, site contracts, budget negotiations, and IMP release milestones.
  • Provide direct support for country- or site-level start-up activities when necessary.
  • Contribute to the development of country-specific start-up summaries, process flows, timelines, risk assessments, and success factors.
  • Support and deliver training initiatives, share best practices, and mentor colleagues on local regulations, submission procedures, internal processes, and site start-up requirements.
  • Contribute to business development and proposal activities, including preparing presentation materials and participating in client presentations.
  • Perform additional responsibilities as required by management.
