At Quotient Sciences, we're redefining the way medicines are developed by bringing together drug development and clinical testing under one integrated model. As we continue to grow our clinical capabilities, we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Clinical Research Associate to help build and shape our clinical monitoring function.

This is a unique role for a senior clinical research professional who wants to do more than deliver monitoring activities. You'll play a key part in establishing monitoring standards, driving inspection readiness, influencing future operating models and supporting the growth of our clinical monitoring capability across both healthy volunteer and patient studies.

Working closely with Clinical Operations, Quality Assurance and study teams, you'll ensure that studies are conducted to the highest standards of quality, compliance and participant safety. You'll also have the opportunity to mentor future CRA talent and contribute to the development of a best‑in‑class monitoring service.

If you're looking for a role where you can combine hands‑on monitoring expertise with strategic influence and leadership, we'd love to hear from you.
