• Perform delegated study procedures such as vitals, EKGs, phlebotomy, pulmonary function testing, and sample processing, and document them accurately in source
• Review medical and concomitant medication history and help complete case report forms
• Keep regulatory binders, source documents, and the Delegation of Authority Log organized and audit‑ready
• Partner with the recruitment team to meet enrollment goals
• Communicate with sponsors, CROs, vendors, and participants and their caregivers
• Attend PSVs, SIVs, IMVs, COVs, and investigator meetings, with some travel as needed
• Report any non‑compliance or external audits to site management right away

Qualifications

• Currently licensed as a RN or LPN in the state of NC
• Current ACLS provider card
• At least 1 to 2 years of experience performing infusions
• Ideally, 1 to 2 years of clinical research related experience
• Working knowledge of IP handling, sterile compounding, infusion administration, medication administration, and source documentation in a research setting
