Southern Star Research is a leading Australian, privately owned, CRO based in Sydney. We specialise in providing clinical research services to a range of clients across the pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology markets in Australia and New Zealand.

Due to continued growth and a strong project pipeline, we’re looking for talented CRAs and Senior CRA to join our team.  We’re recruiting in Melbourne (home based), Sydney (office based) and Brisbane (home based) so if you’re interested in joining an innovative, exciting, Australian owned CRO, we’d love to talk to you.

Reporting to the Clinical Operations Manager, you’ll be responsible for:

• Conducting site qualification, interim monitoring and study closeout visits;
• Act as a central point of contact at investigator meetings and site initiation visits;
• Manage all aspects of the clinical monitoring process;
• Build and develop relationships with site stakeholders; and
• Identify, evaluate and recommend new potential investigators and sites on an ongoing basis.

To be successful in the role, we’re looking for candidates with:

• A minimum of 2 years of independent monitoring experience;
• A solid understanding and knowledge of appropriate therapeutic indications as they relate to the conduct of clinical trials;
• A sound knowledge and understanding of regulations governing clinical research, ICH/GCP Guidelines and applicable regulations;
• Strong planning and organizational skills and the ability to work effectively and efficiently in a dynamic environment with competing projects and deadlines;
• Exceptional communication skills as well as strong analytical and conceptual capabilities, interpersonal skills, and ability to communicate with clarity. Ability to address study related clinical site issues with appropriate guidance and initiates and communicate corrective action as indicated;
