Job Description

Project Manager

Join Us at Centricity Research!

Centricity Research is one of the largest clinical research networks in North America. We are a fully centralized Integrated Research Organization (IRO) specializing in conducting Phase I-IV clinical trials in over 35 therapeutic areas: inpatient and outpatient; pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device trials.

About the Role

As a Project Manager, you'll be at the center of our clinical trial operations - making sure assigned studies launch on time, run smoothly, and meet enrollment goals. You'll be the go-to connector between our research sites, internal teams, CROs, and sponsors, ensuring communication flows, challenges are tackled early, and every milestone is achieved. This is a fast-paced, problem-solving role where you'll use your organizational skills and industry know-how to keep complex studies moving forward without missing a beat.

What You'll Do

Oversee assigned clinical trials from activation through close-out, keeping timelines, quality standards, and contractual deliverables on track. Act as the operational bridge between site teams, internal departments, and sponsors - making sure everyone stays aligned and informed. Spot and address potential risks before they impact study progress or quality. Monitor recruitment performance and implement targeted action plans to hit or exceed enrollment goals. Present concise, data-driven study updates to internal leadership and sponsor stakeholders. Represent the organization in sponsor meetings, advocating for resources, timeline adjustments, or protocol clarifications. Capture lessons learned and contribute to continuous process improvements across the network. Align all work with the organization's mission, values, and OKR framework.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You:

Bring

at least 2-3 years of hands-on project management experience

-- this is essential for success in this role. Have experience in clinical research, preferably with exposure to site-level operations. Hold a bachelor's degree in life sciences, healthcare, or a related field (or equivalent experience). Have a track record of meeting study start-up and enrollment targets. Know your way around GCP, ICH guidelines, and regulatory requirements. Communicate clearly and confidently -- whether you're presenting to leadership, negotiating with sponsors, or collaborating with site staff. Can juggle multiple priorities while keeping a calm, solutions-focused approach. Are comfortable using Microsoft Office and project management tools to keep everyone aligned.
