Information about the position

Job description, responsibilities and duties

In collaboration with one of our global pharmaceutical client, we now have a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) opening in Prague, Czech Republic. This is a full time role with flexibility to work home or office based.

Clinical Research Associate is ultimately responsible for the successful management of investigator sites throughout the site life cycle, whilst working in accordance with ICH-GCP guidelines, the study protocol, applicable local and international regulatory requirements and internal Standard Operating Procedures.

With full ownership of investigator sites for your assigned studies, your involvement begins at site feasibility stage, with responsibility for the successful management of the site right through to close-out. This will also include preparation of the submission packages to the Regulatory Authorities and local Ethical Committees. In addition to planning and conducting various site visits (feasibility, site selection, interim and close-out) in accordance with the clinical monitoring plan, you will foster effective relationships with investigator site staff to ensure that key clinical metrics are met. This will involve establishing innovative ways of increasing site and patient recruitment.

When issues do occur, the Clinical Research Associate proactively and promptly implements corrective action plans, and, when applicable, escalates issues to more senior members of the study team. You may also design and deliver training to site staff, when appropriate.

Typical duties will likely include preparing for and attending investigator meetings, coordinating the timely shipment and the subsequent proper storage and accountability of clinical supplies and following-up of drug safety issues that have occurred at your site. You will ensure the integrity of clinical data through your ability to sufficiently maintain site tracking records and work diligently to relevant guidelines.
