The Global Alzheimer’s Platform Foundation (GAP) is seeking a dependable and innovative Manager, Trial Execution Services, to lead recruitment and optimization strategies for assigned Alzheimer’s disease clinical trial sites in designated geographic region(s).

About the Global Alzheimer’s Platform Mission: A patient-centered, not-for-profit organization dedicated to speeding the delivery of innovative medicines to those in need by reducing the time and cost of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease clinical trials.

In 2017, the Global Alzheimer’s Platform Foundation (GAP) fully established GAP-Net, a growing network of >80 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research centers committed to disrupting recruitment and study conduct processes to increase the speed and lower the cost of completing AD clinical trials.

GAP-Net is unique in that GAP invited both academic and private sites deemed to be high performing AD sites with requisites that included data and best practices sharing, use of a central Institutional Review Board and common clinical trial contracts, and a commitment to the GAP mission. GAP is now leveraging our success in accelerating timelines on AD trials to create a new network of research sites aiming to similarly increase the speed and delivery of PD Parkinson’s disease (PD) trials.

GAP currently has nearly 30 PD trial sites across North America and are continuing to grow this network.

With GAP-Net active, AD and PD clinical trials and GAP programs and services are being deployed across North America with the ultimate goal to end Alzheimer’s sooner through accelerated research.

This position would be responsible for working directly with clinical trial sites that specialize in conducting Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson's disease trials. Essential functions include:

• Collaborate with assigned research sites in the GAP-Network geographic region(s) on recruitment and process optimization for specific Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease clinical trials to maximize productivity and efficiency.
• Visit each assigned trial site monthly, either in person or by telephone, to provide material and practical support.
• Partner with clinical trial sites to create and implement effective recruitment and outreach strategies and techniques, ensuring that sites remain engaged and actively recruit and screen participants.
• Write timely site visit reports for the study sponsor and/or contract research organizations (CROs) and provide consistent and immediate support to assigned research sites.
• Navigate and understand complex clinical trial protocols, and develop tools to assist with recruitment, pre-screening, screening, and retention of participants.
• Build communities of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s awareness in assigned geographic locations using GAP’s recruitment model.
• Provide strategic input on recruitment, outreach, and optimization strategies, and assist with developing plans, tools, and resources to implement these strategies.
• Facilitate sharing of learnings and best practices across GAP-Network research sites by creating presentations or tools, speaking at conferences and/or webinars, and responding to requests for assistance.
• Manage large-scale projects, including data collection and metrics, dashboard creation, team leadership toward KPIs, client presentations, and project budget oversight.
• Monitor GAP-sponsored studies to ensure compliance with the study protocol, regulatory requirements, and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines, including regular reviews of trial activities at research sites and timely documentation.
• Work closely with pharmaceutical and biotech companies, CROs, and vendors in a collaborative and professional manner.
• Provide input and assistance on project proposals, reports, manuals, and other documentation as required.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Minimum 3 years direct Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease clinical trial…
