You will facilitate the identification and enrolment of participating sites; assist the LMIC lead administrative teams in site set‑up, delivery of trial‑specific training of sites in their country; track progress at each site and organise monitoring visits as appropriate.

You will also have oversight of data entry on the trial databases and perform regular systematic checks of information held on the databases as required. Resolve contradictory or incorrect data and ensure these are followed through to a satisfactory conclusion within a reasonable timeframe.

In this role you will oversee data cleaning in collaboration with statistical and health economics teams as well as support the Chief Investigator in all aspects of the preparation completion of progress and final reports for funders and any peer‑reviewed publications.
