To be considered for this post you must be educated to degree level, or equivalent experience; have clinical trial management experience; possess current working knowledge of GDPR, GCP, Research Governance, and other key regulatory areas and ethical frameworks presently in place in the UK; possess excellent and demonstrable communication, planning and organisational skills; be capable of managing your time under pressure with a flexible approach to be able to address complex problems; and be computer literate and competent in standard IT applications such as Word and Excel. Experience in liaising with industry partners in public-private collaborations would also be desirable.
