Clinical Research Associate / Clinical Research Associatess

Exciting Opportunity for a Clinical Research Associate

Ready to take ownership of early-phase clinical trials while gaining the variety, autonomy, and visibility that larger CROs often can't offer? Join a boutique, early-phase CRO that partners with innovative biotechnology companies across a diverse portfolio of clinical trials, including psychedelic medicine, respiratory disease, oncology, and other therapeutic areas.

With a close-knit team of approximately 30-40 people, our company offers a collaborative and supportive culture where individuals can make a visible contribution. Unlike larger CRO environments, this role provides exposure to different responsibilities and opportunities to develop in areas that match your interests, including clinical project management.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Clinical Research Associate who can independently manage monitoring activities and contribute effectively from an early stage. You will primarily work on Phase I and Phase II studies, supporting small biotech sponsors across a range of therapeutic areas. Alongside site monitoring, the position will include elements of eTMF management and broader clinical trial responsibilities.

This could be an excellent opportunity for an experienced CRA seeking greater variety, autonomy, and progression within a smaller organization. Candidates with relevant academic research experience are also encouraged to apply, provided they possess the practical monitoring experience required to work independently.

Responsibilities

• Conduct site initiation, routine monitoring, and close-out visits
• Perform source data verification and ensure study data are accurate and complete
• Maintain effective relationships with investigational sites and study teams
• Support eTMF maintenance and management
• Ensure studies are conducted in accordance with protocols, SOPs, GCP, and applicable regulations
• Identify and help resolve site-level issues
• Contribute to broader clinical trial activities as required
• Collaborate closely with colleagues during regular office and training days

Key Skills and Requirements

Essential:

• At least two years of CRA or relevant independent clinical monitoring experience
• The ability to manage monitoring activities without close supervision
• Experience conducting site visits and source data verification
• A good understanding of GCP and clinical trial processes
• Based in London or within practical traveling distance of London-based study sites
• An enthusiastic, adaptable, and collaborative approach
• Comfortable working in a small, hands-on environment where priorities can change

Desirable:

• Early-phase clinical trial experience, particularly Phase I or Phase II
• Experience presenting or conducting site initiation visits
• Experience taking studies through to close-out
• eTMF management experience
• Clinical Trial Coordinator experience
• Exposure to oncology, respiratory, psychedelic medicine, or other specialized therapeutic areas

Working Pattern and Travel

The role is hybrid, with in-person collaboration at the office on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Quarterly training sessions are also held in person and may coincide with an office day. Monitoring sites are primarily located in London. Travel varies according to study activity, averaging approximately five visits per month and rarely exceeding two visits per week.
