Axsendo Clinical Research is a community‑focused clinical research organization committed to expanding access to high‑quality, industry‑sponsored clinical trials. We partner with community‑based practices to deliver studies on time and on budget—while accelerating time to market and increasing representation in clinical research.

Our mission is to extend research access into under‑served and historically underrepresented communities, empowering patients with high unmet medical needs to participate in clinical trials that improve health outcomes. Axsendo supports sponsors in diversity planning and the development of effective community engagement strategies.

We are building a research model centered on operational excellence, regulatory integrity, and trusted physician–patient relationships.

The Clinical Research Coordinator II (CRC II) is a senior‑level research professional responsible for independently managing multiple interventional clinical trials under the direction of the Principal Investigator (PI). The CRC II demonstrates strong operational ownership, regulatory fluency, and the ability to execute complex protocols with minimal oversight.

This role requires a dependable self‑starter who brings excellence, focus, accountability, and consistent follow‑through to daily site operations. The CRC II will serve as a key driver of study timelines, enrollment performance, regulatory readiness, and participant experience.

The ideal candidate thrives in a performance‑oriented clinical research environment and takes pride in delivering high‑quality work with precision and integrity.
