Lead Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC)

This role is ideal for a Lead CRC who is ready to step into ownership and grow toward management. They will serve as the foundation of a newly developing research department, balancing hands-on clinical trial execution with operational leadership.

Day-to-Day Overview

Morning Responsibilities
The day begins with preparing participant visits, ensuring all source documentation and eSource systems are accurate and audit-ready (including building eSource when necessary). As the sole CRC onsite, this individual will manage patient interactions end-to-end — consenting, conducting study visits, performing phlebotomy, administering assessments, and serving as the primary contact for participant questions.

Core Daily Responsibilities
This person will oversee all trial operations, including regulatory file maintenance, participant documentation, recruitment efforts through EMR review, and ensuring compliance with FDA and ICH-GCP standards. They will manage study materials, investigational product accountability, and maintain CTMS documentation. Recruitment strategy and staff education (such as lunch-and-learns) may also fall under their scope.

Leadership & Oversight
They will work closely with a research-naïve PI, guiding them through processes and ensuring protocol adherence. As the department expands, this role will evolve into mentoring and training additional CRCs while conducting internal quality checks to ensure audit readiness at all times. Sponsor communication, monitoring visit preparation, and eventually budget and contract involvement will prepare them for a formal management trajectory.

This is a highly autonomous role requiring someone comfortable wearing multiple hats and functioning as the central operational hub of the site.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of experience as a Lead CRC

• Experience managing complex protocols (not solely vaccine trials)

• Full trial lifecycle experience (SSU through closeout) without heavy oversight

• Strong regulatory experience

• Phlebotomy skills

• Comfortable working fully onsite (Monday–Friday, 9–5)

Hybrid flexibility may be considered after proving strong performance.

Preferred Experience

• EKG experience

• Sponsor or FDA audit experience

• Experience working with research-naïve PIs

• Familiarity with rating scales such as MADRS, SETS, CGI, CSSRS, MOAA/S

Schedule

Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (some flexibility may be discussed).
