Clinical Trial Leaders at Parexel FSP

Due to the nature of our projects and sponsors, we hire more experienced Study Managers, who have already spent several years in the role, with global study experience.

You’ll report to a Senior Project Leader but will have considerable operational freedom and plenty of sponsor contact. Study managers who join us often say they particularly like the agility and pace here. We’re all about making the right decisions fast.

Our CTL's each work for a single sponsor. You’d typically manage between one and three studies, depending on size and complexity. You could also be part of a team of study managers on a major trial, potentially in the lead role if you’re more experienced.

Working with Parexel FSP means you’ll be directed by the sponsor, while remaining part of our worldwide team. We’ll partner with your sponsor to plan your training and career progression. Promotion can come at any time, and not just at the end of an assignment.

As we mentioned, the study manager role here is more influential than the norm. Trial start-up, maintenance and close out. Vendor management. Overseeing CRAs and studies. Chairing meetings. Coordinating submissions. All will be within your scope.

In fact, as your experience builds, your role will develop naturally towards project management. Equally, study management is a technical career path here in its own right. There are fantastic opportunities to develop your experience and skills.

Just finally, we value work-life balance. We aim to keep regular hours and maintain our lives outside the office. We’ll value your welfare just as highly as that of our patients. And our managers will listen to, and act on, any concerns.

What we look for in Clinical Trial Leaders

Precise requirements for each CTL's role vary from sponsor to sponsor, but generally we look for people with at least 5 years’ direct experience as a global study manager.

Additionally, you’ll need: -

• Past exposure to trial start-up, maintenance, and close activities.
• Experience of overseeing CRAs, vendors and deliverables globally
• The ability to work effectively with a wide range of clinical, technical, biometric, and regulatory stakeholders, as well as with sponsors.
• In depth experience working within international Oncology trials.
• Demonstrated experience in managing per subject costs, vendor and ancillary, and monitoring costs projections and spend. 
• Experience of following milestones for the region with the local team.
• Experience in Phase I-III trials and CRO management.
• Experience of coordinating the EC submission in participating countries.
