  • Ensure the quality of all CRS deliverables throughout the lifecycle of the trial, ranging from protocol development to study startup, execution, and close-out through to CSR and publications.  
  • Provide support to address and resolve issues in the Clinical Development organization and identify solutions for remediation.
  • Lead and support cross-functional projects across the R&D organization whenever applicable. 
  • Act as a Subject Matter Expert for all operational areas that involve the CRS role and identify / execute opportunities for process improvement.
  • Partner with the VPs of Clinical Development and their assigned CRSs on study-specific deliverables to understand each CRS’s performance and develop customized personal development plans for each of them.
  • Partner cross-functionally with all leaders in the R&D organization (including but not limited to Clinical Operations, Regulatory Affairs, Safety, Biostatistics, Data Management, Program Management, Clinical QA, etc.) to improve the deliverables of the CRS team.
  • Support audits and regulatory inspections related to clinical studies and support the creation of an audit readiness working environment (in partnership with Clinical Operations and Clinical QA).

Requirements:

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
