Ensure continuous improvement in quality, risk management, and audit readiness.

About You

You’ll bring:

Experience working within a clinical trial site environment (investigator site or research unit).

A strong background in clinical research operations within a regulated environment.

Solid knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), clinical trial governance, and ethical requirements.

A tertiary qualification in Nursing, Medicine, Allied Health, or Health Sciences with current AHPRA registration where applicable (RN, Medical Practitioner, or equivalent).

Demonstrated ability to work both independently and within a multidisciplinary team in an effective, proactive, and collaborative manner.

A high level of initiative, flexibility, and the ability to prioritise workload while balancing multiple priorities.

A practical, organised approach with strong attention to detail.
