Bring your clinical instincts — build a research career

Are you an experienced nurse, tech, or clinical professional looking to move off the floor and into a role with predictable hours and long-term growth?
Clinical research may be your next step — and
we’ll
help you make it. We welcome both experienced coordinators and strong clinical professionals ready to transition in. If you’re detail-driven, dependable, and ready to own your studies, we’ll support your GCP training and sponsor your certification.

As a Clinical Research Coordinator at SAON, you’ll run the day-to-day of clinical trials — consenting participants, collecting accurate data, safeguarding participant safety, and keeping studies compliant — working closely with sponsors and sites to uphold the protocol and the highest ethical standards.

• Manage the day-to-day conduct of clinical trials in compliance with 21 CFR, GCP, and the SAON Quality Program.
• Screen and identify participants; obtain and document informed consent, clearly explaining procedures and risks.

• Monitor data quality, resolve queries in EDC, and prepare for and support sponsor and regulatory audits.
• Partner with investigators, site staff, vendors, and sponsors to keep studies on track, on timeline, and on budget.

• Precision and integrity — you follow the protocol exactly and document honestly, every time.
• Independence and ownership — you manage many moving parts to deadline without being told what’s next.
• Composure under scrutiny — you welcome monitoring and audits as a way to get it right.
• Strong communication
  and problem-solving — with patients, colleagues, and sponsors.
• EMR/PACS and Microsoft Office familiarity; comfort learning EDC platforms.
• Comfort with computers, tablets,,
  and documentation — Microsoft Office; EMR/PACS familiarity is a plus.

  preferred, but
  not
  required
  for the right clinical professional. Experienced RNs/LPNs and clinical staff transitioning into research are encouraged to apply — we provide training and mentorship.
