Job description

Clinical Research Coordinator - Trial Launch Team

Are you an experienced clinical trial professional looking to work with cutting‑edge cancer therapies? We are seeking a dynamic Clinical Trials Coordinator to join our Clinical Trial Unit (CTU), with a primary assignment to our Trial Launch Team (TLT). Reporting to the CTU Manager, you will work in a team environment to facilitate trial start‑up processes and complete delegated study tasks. While your daily focus will highlight start‑up activities, including REB application submissions, and drafting or negotiating Informed Consent Forms (ICFs), all coordinator positions maintain a general scope and may be reassigned to, or assist, other teams within the Unit as operationally required. Building strong relationships is key, as you will serve as a central point of contact for PIs & study staff, CCI departments, outside hospitals, and external agencies (e.g., Sponsors, CROs, and Health Canada). Operationally, you will coordinate study visits—from site selection through to close‑out—while managing regulatory documentation and liaising with industry partners for day‑to‑day study specifications. To ensure efficiency, you will create and update systems to track workflows, regulatory documentation, and data/ethics submissions. Responsibilities may also include reviewing source documents, abstracting protocol data to complete CRFs, and resolving data queries. You will track study metrics, coordinate monitoring visits, and assist with site audits and regulatory inspections. Additionally, you will manage patient study registration, notify personnel of assigned treatments, relay adverse drug reaction reports, and ensure all required safety documentation is completed. If you are a detail‑oriented professional with a passion for oncology research, we want to hear from you!

Description:

As a Clinical Research Coordinator, you will provide support for research studies through the identification, collection, and reporting of clinical trial data. You will compile research, reports and regulatory documents as required by the protocol, and study/sponsor. This involves ensuring research information is timely, accurate, valid, meaningful, and to the sponsor's satisfaction, and that studies are run according to local and global regulations.
