Job description

The START Center for Cancer Research (“START”) is the world’s largest early phase site network, fully dedicated to oncology clinical research. Throughout our history, START has provided hope to cancer patients in global community practices by offering access to cutting-edge trials throughout the US and Europe. Today, with over 1,300 studies completed, and with research facilities in the United States and in Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, START’s mission is to accelerate the development of new anticancer drugs that will improve the quality of life and survival for patients with cancer and lead to its eventual cure. To date, over 43 therapies conducted at START locations have obtained FDA/EMA approval. While Academic Medical Centers (AMCs) conduct 80% of cancer trials, such trials reach only 20% of the patient population, leaving many without access to clinical trials. START aims to serve this gap by bringing trials to community hospitals and practices.

START boasts the world’s largest roster of Principal Investigators (PIs) across its eight clinical trial sites. We are committed to accelerating the transition from trials to treatments, delivering hope worldwide. For example, in San Antonio, where START was founded, START treated the first patient ever with Keytruda, one of the most effective cancer drugs in history.

We are hiring a motivated Compliance Manager responsible for overseeing the compliance program across the organization, including adherence to relevant regulations, ethical guidelines, and company policies. This remote role offers an annual base salary of $85,000 - $95,000, depending on experience and other factors.
