Job description

CovarsaDx is a clinical research organization (CRO) that is dedicated to clinical studies for IVD (in vitro diagnostic) and medical device trials. Our clients experience personalized study strategies, expert consultation, and agile adaptation to changing trial design requirements. We prioritize our clients' regulatory success and clinical research experience, supported by trusted clinical research specialists and resources.

About the Role

The Travel Clinical Research Coordinator / Site Identification Associate’s primary responsibility is serving as a Travel Clinical Research Coordinator to support clinical trial execution at assigned investigative sites. The Travel CRC assignments and related study needs take priority and may include study start-up, participant enrollment support, protocol implementation, source documentation, sample collection coordination, data entry, and site-level issue resolution. When the Travel CRC work is not available or does not require the employee’s full capacity, the employee will perform secondary site identification and feasibility duties for CovarsaDx, including helping identify, assess, and maintain relationships with qualified clinical research sites and investigators aligned with sponsor and protocol requirements.

What You’ll Do

• Travel to assigned clinical research sites to provide on-site study coordination support as needed.
• Assist Principal Investigators, site staff, and internal clinical operations teams with study start-up, activation, and ongoing study conduct.
• Support participant screening, enrollment, visit coordination, and follow-up activities in accordance with the protocol and site procedures.
• Assist with study documentation, source document completion, case report form completion, query resolution, and data entry in electronic data capture systems.
• Coordinate or support specimen collection, processing, handling, storage, shipment, and related documentation, as applicable to the study.
• Ensure study activities are conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practice, applicable regulations, protocol requirements, informed consent requirements, and company standard operating procedures.
• Train or reinforce training with site personnel on study procedures, visit workflows, documentation expectations, and protocol-specific requirements.
• Maintain accurate, timely, and complete study records, including logs, delegation documentation, training records, visit notes, and status updates.
• Identify and elevate site-level risks, enrollment barriers, protocol deviations, documentation gaps, or operational issues to the appropriate internal teams.
• Serve as a professional and reliable point of contact for site staff while supporting study timelines, quality expectations, and sponsor deliverables.

Secondary Site Identification and Feasibility Duties

• Support the CRO’s site identification team by researching and identifying potential clinical research sites and investigators for current and future studies.
• Assist with evaluating site capabilities, patient population access, clinical trial experience, staffing, equipment, laboratory capabilities, and geographic fit based on study-specific needs.
• Participate in outreach to prospective sites, Principal Investigators, site administrators, and research staff to assess study interest and operational readiness.
• Help maintain a database or tracking system of potential, active, and previously qualified sites, including key contacts, capabilities, performance notes, and feasibility responses.
• Support collection and review of feasibility questionnaires, site contact sheets, investigator information, laboratory capabilities, and other site qualification materials.
• Provide feedback to internal CRO teams regarding site suitability, start-up barriers, enrollment potential, and operational considerations.
• Assist with Site Qualification Visits, site readiness assessments, and related documentation, as assigned.
• Collaborate with Clinical Operations, Project Management, Regulatory, Contracts, Budgeting, and Logistics teams to support site selection and successful study start-up.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, Health Sciences, Nursing, Clinical Research, or a related field preferred; equivalent clinical research experience may be considered.
• Minimum of 2 years of clinical research experience, preferably as a Clinical Research Coordinator, Research Nurse, Clinical Research Associate, or site operations professional.
• Working knowledge of clinical trial conduct, Good Clinical Practice, informed consent processes, source documentation, and regulatory documentation.
• Experience supporting study start-up, participant enrollment, visit coordination, data entry, query resolution, and site communication.
• Ability and willingness to travel frequently, including overnight travel and multi‑day site assignments.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple studies, sites, and priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, Teams, Outlook), electronic data capture systems, and clinical trial tracking tools.

Preferred Qualifications

CRO or multi‑site experience; IVD, medical device, point‑of‑care, laboratory, or specimen collection studies; site identification, feasibility, qualification or investigator outreach; and familiarity with Institutional Review Board documentation, clinical trial agreements, site budgets, and start‑up workflows. Comfort working independently while traveling and representing the company professionally at clinical sites is also preferred.

This remote / travel‑based position requires frequent travel estimated up to 70% depending on study needs and site assignments, with short notice at times, by conventional means including aircraft, motor vehicles, etc., which may consist of 5 or more consecutive days. Availability outside standard business hours may occasionally be required to support site needs, travel schedules, or critical study timelines. The position will be remote/home‑based when not traveling; during periods without Travel CRC assignments or when Travel CRC work does not require full capacity, time will be allocated to secondary site identification and feasibility duties. Must be able to work at a computer for extended periods and perform routine clinical site support activities. Must be able to lift and transport study‑related materials up to 10 pounds, as needed.

• Salary range of $70,000–$85,000; compensation offered will reflect your skills and experience.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) plan with company match.
• Paid time off, sick pay, and holiday pay.
