Job Title: Clinical Research Coordinator

Job Description

This role focuses on coordinating complex clinical drug trials, working directly with patients throughout their research visits. The coordinator supports multiple studies by conducting patient visits, obtaining informed consent, and participating in recruitment activities, while collaborating closely with research nurses and leveraging support from dedicated data and regulatory teams. This position offers strong training, structured onboarding, and clear opportunities for growth within a cancer center environment.

Responsibilities

• Conduct patient‑facing clinical research activities, including coordinating and performing patient visits in accordance with study protocols.
• Work directly with patients to explain study procedures, obtain informed consent, and ensure they understand the risks, benefits, and requirements of participation.
• Collaborate closely with research nurses to plan, schedule, and execute patient visits and study‑related procedures.
• Participate in patient recruitment efforts using methods such as referrals, tumor boards, and new consults, and contribute to screening patients based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
• Perform detailed chart reviews to identify eligible patients, verify eligibility, and ensure accurate documentation of clinical and research data.
• Support all active studies within the assigned hematology team rather than owning a single study, contributing to consistent coverage across multiple trials.
• Manage a patient load of approximately 10 participants, ensuring timely follow‑up, visit coordination, and adherence to study schedules.
• Aim to consent approximately 12–15 patients per year, maintaining high standards of ethical conduct and patient‑centered communication.
• Collaborate with data and regulatory teams by maintaining a basic understanding of regulatory and documentation requirements, even though these teams handle most data and regulatory functions.
• Apply clinical skills as needed during patient visits, in alignment with study protocols and within the scope of practice.
• Communicate effectively with the multidisciplinary team to ensure even distribution of workload and smooth execution of trial activities.
• Adhere to institutional and study‑specific policies, procedures, and guidelines to maintain compliance and ensure high‑quality clinical research.

Essential Skills

• At least 1 year of clinical research experience in a patient‑facing role, including consenting patients and conducting patient visits.
• Experience working on clinical drug trials with some level of complexity, in any therapeutic area.
• Demonstrated experience in patient recruitment, including identifying potential participants and engaging them in clinical research opportunities.
• Proven ability to obtain informed consent from patients in a clear, ethical, and compliant manner.
• Clinical skills relevant to supporting patient visits and trial procedures, applied within the scope of practice and protocol requirements.
• Basic understanding of clinical research data and regulatory processes, with the ability to collaborate effectively with specialized data and regulatory teams.
• Bachelor’s degree.
• Clinical research certification (or strong commitment to obtain one, such as SOCRA or ACRP).
• Familiarity with clinical trials processes and terminology.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills for working directly with patients and multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to manage multiple studies and balance a defined patient load within a structured team environment.
• Organizational skills and attention to detail for chart review, documentation, and adherence to protocol timelines.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in oncology clinical research.
• Experience with Phase I clinical trials.
• SOCRA or ACRP certification, or active pursuit of these credentials, which may be tied to higher compensation.
• Interest in specializing within hematology oncology research.
• Motivation to grow within a structured training and development framework, including internal training programs and defined career paths.
• Flexibility to move between different teams within the cancer center or broader health system as part of long‑term career growth.

Work Environment

The role is based within a cancer center environment that currently includes three coordinators and two nurses. The coordinator will work 8‑hour shifts, with a start time typically between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., depending on patient scheduling needs, and must be flexible to adjust hours based on patient visits. The position requires working onsite every day for the first three months to support onboarding, training, and integration with the team; after this period, there is the option to work from home one day per week, subject to patient and study needs. The work setting emphasizes structured onboarding, clearly defined roles and responsibilities, and evenly distributed workloads, allowing coordinators to specialize in their area while collaborating closely with nurses, data teams, and regulatory staff. The environment supports continuous learning and professional development, including access to internal training and opportunities to move across teams within the cancer center.
