• Act as Study Project Manager on high-priority trials, from startup through closeout
• Track KPIs, spot barriers early and drive CAPAs and workflow improvements
• Keep the site inspection-ready and compliant with FDA, ICH-GCP, HIPAA and ALCOA+ standards, working closely with the Regulatory and Compliance team
• Be a primary contact for sponsors and CROs
• Work with Finance and leadership on staffing, budgets and site profitability
• Support site growth and develop the next generation of operational leaders

What you'll bring

• 6+ years in clinical research, including 4+ years in leadership or management
• Experience running a clinical research site with multiple Phase I-IV trials, and managing a team of 30+
• Strong knowledge of ICH-GCP, FDA regulations and HIPAA, and of CAPA, auditing and quality management
• Proficiency with CTMS, EDC and eRegulatory systems
• A hands-on, collaborative leadership style, a data-driven mindset and strong communication
• Bachelor's degree in a related field preferred (equivalent experience considered)

Nice to have

• Experience in CNS, neuroscience, psychiatric or psychedelic research
• CCRC or CCRP certification

Why this role

• Lead a standalone site with real autonomy and influence
• Join a stable, founder-owned organisation with 20 years of growth behind it
• Help shape a growing neuroscience and psychedelic research programme
• Work with a close-knit, experienced team
