Clinical Research Site Development Manager/Senior CRC

CENTRAL FLORIDA MEDICAL & CHIROPRACTIC CENTER • Winter Park, FL

21h • Onsite

About The Position

Sterling Clinical Research is seeking an experienced Clinical Research Site Development Manager / Senior CRC to help grow and manage our expanding clinical research operation. This is not a traditional CRC position. We are specifically looking for someone with experience identifying, pursuing, and securing clinical trials from sponsors, pharmaceutical/biotech companies, and CROs. The ideal candidate understands the full clinical research lifecycle—from study acquisition and feasibility through budget negotiation, site start-up, enrollment, study execution, and closeout. This position will have a dedicated Assistant CRC to assist with patient scheduling, study coordination, documentation, regulatory tasks, and other day-to-day research activities. This allows you to focus more heavily on higher-level responsibilities, including bringing new trials to the site, developing sponsor/CRO relationships, negotiating budgets, managing study start-up, and overseeing successful trial execution.

Requirements

• 3+ years of clinical research experience preferred
• Proven experience obtaining or helping secure clinical trials for a research site
• Experience working directly with sponsors and CROs
• Experience with feasibility questionnaires and site selection
