Job description

About Prima Mente

Prima Mente is a frontier biology AI lab. We generate our own data, build general purpose biological foundation models, and translate discoveries into research and clinical outcomes. Our first goal is to tackle the brain: to deeply understand it, protect it from neurological disease, and enhance it in health. Our team of AI researchers, experimentalists, clinicians, and operators is based in London, San Francisco and Dubai.

About This Role

This role is the operational backbone of our clinical programs. As a CRA / Clinical Research Operator, you are the person who ensures that nothing falls through the cracks — documentation is correct, audit trails are clean, logistics are tracked, and sites have what they need to operate compliantly. This is a hands‑on, detail‑oriented role for someone who takes pride in doing things properly. Regular UK site visits; occasional international travel.

Role focus

As a CRA / Clinical Research Operator, you will support clinical delivery by owning the administrative and compliance‑heavy work that keeps studies running smoothly. You’ll work closely with Project Managers, sites, labs, and internal teams to ensure documentation, logistics, and systems are always up to date and audit‑ready.

What You’ll Work On

• Manage site documentation: ICFs, delegation logs, training logs, consent records, and document reconciliation.
• Ensure audit trails are complete, accurate, and inspection‑ready.
• Support site initiation and ongoing site operations through documentation and admin.
• Track and manage kit logistics, sample usage, storage, and courier coordination.
• Monitor sample tracking and elevate discrepancies quickly.
• Maintain Trial Master File (TMF) contributions and QC.
• Support monitoring visits through preparation, follow‑up, and documentation.
• Act as a reliable operational partner to Project Managers and sites.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is highly dependable, organised, and eager to grow — someone who takes pride in operational excellence.

• Detail‑oriented operator 0–4 years experience as a CRA, CTA, or similar role.
• Strong documentation instincts – You care about accuracy, version control, and clean records.
• Operationally minded – You enjoy tracking logistics, reconciling information, and keeping systems up to date.
• Reliable and calm under pressure – You follow through and communicate clearly when issues arise.
