Job description

At Emerald Clinical Trials, we are a global, full-service Contract Research Organization (CRO) with a rich heritage in the Asia-Pacific region. We are dedicated to advancing clinical research through scientific expertise and operational excellence, supporting biopharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostic customers across all trial phases, from registration to post-marketing.

Our therapeutic expertise spans renal, cardiometabolic, and oncology—areas where we make a significant impact on improving global health.

At the heart of our success is our ability to combine global reach with local knowledge. Our on-the-ground teams work closely with local communities, building trust and ensuring diverse, representative patient recruitment. By prioritizing people, we deliver better engagement, more accurate data, and faster results—bringing therapies to patients in need.

About The Role

We are seeking a highly organised and proactive Project Specialist to join our Project Operations Department within Clinical Operations. This role provides full-time support to our Project Managers, contributing directly to the delivery and coordination of global clinical trials. You will be allocated to studies and play an essential role in ensuring timelines, deliverables, and quality standards are met.

• Manage study documentation and maintain project trackers and systems
  
  

• Coordinate internal and external project meetings, including scheduling, agendas, and meeting minutes
  
  

• Follow up on action items and deliverables with cross-functional teams and vendors
  
  

• Support communications with clinical sites, vendors, and internal teams as needed
  
  

• Contribute to key trial activities such as study start-up, maintenance, and close-out
  
  

• Ensure all activities comply with SOPs, ICH-GCP guidelines, and regulatory standards
  
  

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• Previous experience supporting clinical trials within a CRO, sponsor, or similar environment
• Excellent MS Project capabilities
  
  

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and manage multiple tasks
  
  

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  
  

• Proactive, detail-oriented, and a team player
  
  

• Familiarity with clinical trial documentation, processes, and regulations (e.g., ICH-GCP)
  
  

• Comfortable working with Microsoft Office and clinical systems (e.g., CTMS, eTMF)
