If you're a Clinical Research Associate who wants greater ownership, closer access to leadership, and the opportunity to contribute beyond routine site monitoring, this could be your next move.

You would be working with a global specialty pharmaceutical company developing and commercializing innovative therapies for patients with severe genetic, metabolic, and life-threatening disorders. As the company continues to expand its clinical footprint, we're seeking a CRA to help drive the successful execution of clinical studies across North America.

What you'll be doing

You'll serve as the primary point of contact for assigned clinical sites, supporting studies from start-up through close-out while ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.

Responsibilities include:

  • Site qualification, initiation, monitoring, and close-out visits
  • Building strong relationships with investigators and site staff
  • Driving data quality, protocol compliance, and study execution
  • Supporting patient recruitment and site performance
  • Maintaining inspection-ready study documentation
  • Collaborating cross-functionally with Clinical Operations and study teams

What we're looking for

  • 2-4 years of clinical research experience
  • CRA, Clinical Research Coordinator, or similar clinical operations background
  • Independent monitoring experience
  • Strong understanding of ICH-GCP and clinical trial conduct
  • Passion for quality, collaboration, and improving patient outcomes

What's on offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • Exposure to both clinical and commercial aspects of drug development
  • Direct interaction with world-class scientific experts
  • Significant career growth potential within a fast-growing organization

If you're a Bay Area CRA looking to step into a role with greater visibility, broader responsibility, and meaningful impact on patients' lives, we'd love to hear from you.
