Senior Clinical Project Manager – United Kingdom
Location – UK ( Fully Remote)
About The Role
We are looking for an experienced Senior Clinical Project Manager to join a growing, specialist CRO where you will have genuine ownership of clinical trial delivery and direct interaction with sponsors.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a lean, entrepreneurial CRO environment rather than a large, highly structured organisation. You will have the autonomy to make decisions, solve problems quickly and help shape how projects are delivered.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end delivery of clinical trials from start-up through close-out.
- Act as the primary operational point of contact for sponsors and clients.
- Develop and maintain project plans, timelines, milestones and delivery strategies.
- Lead cross-functional and external study teams across multiple countries.
- Manage study risks, issues, dependencies and mitigation plans.
- Oversee CRO vendors, investigators, sites and other external partners.
- Ensure studies are delivered in accordance with protocols, ICH-GCP, applicable regulations and client requirements.
- Monitor project performance against timelines, quality expectations and agreed deliverables.
- Lead project meetings, governance meetings and sponsor updates.
- Provide clear and proactive communication to internal and external stakeholders.
- Support study budgets, resource planning and change management alongside the wider project team.
- Identify opportunities to improve processes, efficiency and the overall client experience.
- Contribute to the development of SOPs, processes and ways of working as the CRO continues to scale.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years’ experience in clinical trial management / clinical project management.
- Strong experience within a CRO environment.
- Previous experience working directly with pharmaceutical, biotech or emerging life sciences sponsors.
- Experience managing clinical trials from study start-up through close-out.
- Strong knowledge of ICH-GCP and applicable clinical research regulations.
- Proven experience leading cross-functional, remote and international teams.
- Excellent stakeholder and sponsor management skills.
- Strong organisational, problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
- Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.
- Confident communicator with the ability to build strong relationships at all levels.
- A proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to operate independently.
Why Join?
- 100% remote / home-based working
- High level of ownership and autonomy
- Direct exposure to sponsors and senior stakeholders
- Opportunity to work within a lean, growing CRO
- Less bureaucracy and fewer layers of management
- Genuine opportunity to influence processes and ways of working
- Collaborative and entrepreneurial culture
- Opportunity for career growth as the organisation scales
- Work across a diverse portfolio of clinical trials
The Ideal Candidate
You will be someone who doesn’t need to be told what to do.
You enjoy taking ownership, are comfortable operating in an evolving environment and can confidently manage both the strategic and day-to-day operational aspects of clinical trials.
If you are looking to move away from the bureaucracy of a large CRO and want more ownership, more visibility and more impact, this could be an excellent next step.
