The Company
The company is a highly successful, established pharmaceutical company that exceeded all targets last year. The organisation has a high investment ratio in drug development with a record number of compounds in clinical studies and more planned. Oncology is a strategic therapeutic area where the company has further clinical trial funding in cancer research as it continues to enhance its position as a pioneer in this field.     

The Role
The company are expanding their oncology clinical activities with a number of new compounds coming into studies. The role will involve working on a phase 1, 2 or 3 study likely to be run in multiple countries (Europe and Asia Pacific at least) dependent on patient availability. The study will be complex in nature and involves an emphasis on data quality.

The Clinical Study Manager is responsible for all aspects of the assigned study from approved concept to final medical report. This will encompass the planning, implementation, analysis and reporting of the study within the established timeframes and budgets. An important element is the identification, implementation and management of a cross-functional global team including Medical Expert, Statistician, Study/Country Lead Monitors, Clinical Supply/IRT representative, Data Management representative, Drug Safety representative, Regulatory Strategist and Medical Writers. Other important factors include patient recruitment strategy and oversight of external service providers including CROs.

The expectation will be to work with the company for the duration of the study phase as a minimum. Due to the project anonymity we provide a client approved outside of IR35 contract.
