Job description

ORCA (Outpatient Research Cardiovascular Alliance) is transforming cardiovascular clinical research. As a leading site management organization, we partner closely with clinical sites and medical device innovators to streamline every stage of the research process—from expedited contract negotiations and site qualification to rapid patient screening, enrollment, and follow-up. Our accelerated approach significantly reduces the timeline from site selection to first patient enrollment, ensuring groundbreaking cardiovascular treatments reach patients faster. At ORCA, we're committed to advancing cardiovascular care by removing barriers and optimizing research excellence.

As a Clinical Research Coordinator with ORCA, you will support clinical research sites in all aspects of conducting clinical trials. This includes consenting patients, data collection, management of study documentation, and effective communication with sponsors. The position is remote but requires substantial travel (up to 75%) to clinical research sites primarily located in the West Coast regions. Specifically, the position requires on-site work in outpatient cardiovascular clinics located in Portland, Bend and Redmond, Oregon and the remaining time will be spent working remotely in the Oregon area. Ideal candidates will possess strong experience as site-level CRCs, ideally with experience running IDE clinical trials.

Key Responsibilities

• Obtain informed consent from clinical trial participants and manage patient interactions.
• Collect and accurately enter patient data into electronic data capture systems.
• Manage and maintain all site-level clinical trial documentation, ensuring accuracy and regulatory compliance.
• Communicate and collaborate effectively with clinical site teams, sponsors, and CROs.
• Coordinate scheduling of patient visits and conduct patient follow-ups as necessary.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, protocol adherence, and study timelines.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 2-3 years of clinical research coordinator experience at the site level.
