General role description

Clinical Leads provide clinical and scientific oversight of clinical trials to ensure they are conducted safely, ethically, and in line with the protocol. They guide study teams through complex clinical and regulatory issues, monitor trial progress, and serve as a key liaison between internal departments, trial sites, and other stakeholders.

While Clinical Trial Managers lead the operational delivery of trials, Clinical Leads are focused on clinical integrity - supporting protocol adherence, reviewing trial documentation, and offering guidance on clinical challenges. This role suits individuals with strong clinical research experience and the ability to lead across teams and geographies.

Key responsibilities

• Coordinate the day-to-day clinical aspects of trials across multiple sites
• Monitor trial progress and documentation from a clinical perspective
• Provide guidance to site staff and study teams on protocol implementation and safety reporting
• Ensure studies follow protocols, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and regulatory standards
• Act as a key contact between Clinical Trial Managers, Clinical Research Associates (CRA)s, regulatory, safety, and data management teams
• Support issue resolution and protocol deviation management
• Contribute to study reporting and ensure clinical records are complete and accurate
