Clinical Research Associate

Lindus Health; London; Hybrid; GBP 35,000 - 55,000; Full time

Job description

Our mission

All new medicines need to undergo clinical trials to show they’re safe and effective. But today’s clinical trial infrastructure is stuck in the past, and the cost of developing new medicines has skyrocketed as a result. Patients have to wait longer and pay more for new treatments.

Our mission is to fix this; we use software to help innovative companies run faster, more reliable, and patient-friendly clinical trials. We’re still a young company, but we’ve already had a big impact. Since founding the company in March 2021 we’ve helped run over 100 clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients, with a customer NPS of 100.

We recently raised a $55m Series B round from Balderton Capital, with support from Creandum, Firstminute, Seedcamp, and Visionaries.

About The Role

We’re looking for a CRA to ensure effective risk-proportionate monitoring of Lindus Health’s global portfolio of clinical trials. This covers both central and onsite monitoring, where site monitoring may be remote or may involve travelling to sites across the UK, to conduct in-person visits. You will undertake the preparation, conduct and then create reports for the trial monitoring visits. Central monitoring involves reviewing in real-time, accumulating trial data via our in-house platform, Citrus. This role is integral to maintaining high monitoring standards as our customer base grows significantly over the coming years and is our first full-time CRA hire in the UK.

You’ll work closely with our Clinical Operations, Product and Commercial teams, as well as the sponsor-side teams that make up our customer base.

About You

We’d like to hear from you if…

• You have 3+ years of work experience and meaningful time spent in a clinical trial monitoring role, including monitoring at NHS sites.
• You understand how to take a risk-proportionate approach to monitoring and have been involved in developing monitoring plans to reflect this approach.
• You have a strong awareness of clinical trial regulations and are plugged in to potential changes to the regulatory environment.
• You have great attention to detail and are a confident communicator with internal and external stakeholders.
• You have a bias to action - we're looking for someone who is proactive, organised and creative.
• If you’ve already worked in a startup or early-stage environment this will be advantageous.
• You’re comfortable travelling to conduct site visits across the UK (up to 60%).
• Have a full UK driving licence.
• Previous involvement in central monitoring would be a bonus!
• Previous involvement in US trials would be a bonus!

You belong here! If your experience and interests match with some of the above, we want you to apply.

• Focus area 1: You’ll act as primary contact between Lindus Health and recruiting sites (as and when required), to lead effective monitoring according to trial protocols, including writing Monitoring Plans, arranging and conducting site monitoring visits and monitoring reports.
