Job Overview

• Communicate findings as per planned process to ensure that all cross-functional stakeholders have the same understanding of the issue /emerging risk so that the appropriate follow-up action can be taken.

• Arm the primary site monitor with important information that will enable sponsor to be the clinical partner of choice; allowing monitors to work differently with site staff and have more productive discussions with our Investigator partners.

• Work collaboratively in the pursuit of quality with the primary site monitor, the Study Team and cross-functional departments. Participate in Health of Study Meetings.
