In this role you will have the autonomy to manage your own sites while benefiting from strong operational support and defined study processes. You will be trusted to make decisions at site level, build long-term relationships with investigators and see the full lifecycle of studies from start-up through to close-out. Working within a large monitoring function also means clear opportunities to grow your skills, take on more complex trials and support junior CRAs as a mentor in the field.

The Role

As Clinical Research Associate, you will oversee the progress of clinical investigations across Phase I–IV trials, ensuring high-quality data and site compliance with Good Clinical Practice and study procedures. You will work closely with the Clinical Trial Manager and/or Lead CRA, acting as the primary contact for your sites and helping keep studies on track against agreed timelines.

• Document accountability, stability and storage conditions of clinical trial materials and perform investigational product inventories as required.

• Review the quality and integrity of clinical data through in-house review of electronic CRFs and on-site source data verification, resolving data queries with the site.

• Serve as the primary contact between our client and investigators, managing correspondence and supporting timely transmission of clinical data.

• Contribute to the review of protocols, eCRFs, study manuals and other trial documentation when requested by the Clinical Trial Manager and/or Lead CRA.

• Assist with and attend Investigator Meetings and study-related, company, departmental and external meetings as needed.

• Ensure all study deliverables are completed in line with agreed study timelines.

• Conduct field evaluation visits and provide field training to more junior CRAs, acting as a mentor to colleagues new to the company or study.

About You

You are a proactive CRA who enjoys both the scientific and operational aspects of clinical research. You are confident managing multiple priorities, communicating with investigators and working both independently and as part of a matrix team.

Skills and Experience

• Strong understanding of the clinical research process and working knowledge of functional areas involved in clinical trials, including relevant medical terminology.

• Minimum of 1–2 years’ on-site monitoring experience within clinical trials.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to explain complex concepts clearly to study personnel.

• Ability to develop productive professional relationships internally and with healthcare professionals at research and clinical institutions.

• Proven ability to handle several priorities across multiple, complex trials.

• Ability to reason independently and recommend appropriate solutions to issues arising at sites.

• Comfortable working independently while contributing effectively within a matrix team environment.

• Sound knowledge of current GCP/ICH guidelines and their application to clinical research.

• Strong communication skills in Dutch and English are essential.

Location Requirement

For this position you must be based in the Netherlands and able to travel to sites as required.
