Ready to take the next step beyond traditional monitoring?

This is an opportunity for an experienced CRA to join a growing biotech environment where you'll have genuine influence on study delivery, direct exposure to senior leadership, and the chance to contribute across multiple aspects of clinical development.

If you're looking for a role that offers more than site monitoring, including study strategy, cross-functional collaboration, and mentoring opportunities, this could be the career move you've been waiting for.

Why this opportunity stands out

  • Highly visible role within a growing clinical organization
  • Opportunity to take ownership of sites with minimal supervision
  • Exposure to study strategy and operational decision-making
  • Work alongside experienced clinical and scientific leaders
  • Mentor and support junior CRAs
  • Contribute to innovative therapies that can make a real difference for patients
  • Hybrid working environment in the Bay Area

What you'll be doing

  • Lead monitoring and management of assigned clinical sites
  • Drive study quality, compliance, and site performance
  • Partner with investigators, vendors, and cross-functional teams
  • Identify and mitigate study risks to keep trials on track
  • Mentor junior CRAs and support ongoing clinical operations initiatives

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years of CRA experience
  • Independent monitoring experience across the full study lifecycle
  • Strong knowledge of ICH-GCP and clinical trial regulations
  • Experience within biotech, pharma, or CRO settings
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • A proactive, solutions-oriented approach to clinical trial execution

What's in it for you?

You'll join a collaborative team where your expertise is valued and your impact is visible. This role offers the opportunity to broaden your clinical operations experience, work closely with senior stakeholders, and help shape the success of important clinical programs while continuing to grow your career.

If you're a Bay Area Senior CRA looking for greater ownership, leadership exposure, and the opportunity to influence study success from start-up through close-out, we'd love to hear from you.
