Senior Site Development Manager

It’s More Than a Career, It’s a Mission.

Our people are the foundation of our success. By joining our growing team at Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI), a subsidiary of McKesson, you will have the opportunity to become part of one of the largest community-based cancer programs to advance oncology treatments and improve outcomes for cancer patients across the globe. We look for mission-driven candidates who have a desire to advance the fight against cancer and make a difference in the lives of patients diagnosed with cancer every day.

People who live with cancer – those who work to prevent it, fight it, and survive it – are at the heart of every decision we make. Bringing the most innovative medical minds together with the most passionate caregivers in their communities, we are transforming care and personalizing treatment. Through clinical excellence and cutting-edge research, SCRI is redefining cancer care around the world.

As the Senior Site Development Manager, you are a strategic education partner to SCRI-supported research sites, addressing complex and evolving educational needs that cannot be met through standard onboarding or ongoing training programs.

• Develop and deliver focused education sessions (virtual and/or onsite) to address identified gaps.
• Provide just-in-time education in response to emerging site needs, regulatory changes, or study-specific challenges.
• Reinforce critical concepts such as ICH GCP, protocol adherence, documentation standards, and patient safety.
• Own and continuously evolve the SCRI CRC Core Curriculum, aligning foundational and advanced training with regulatory expectations, quality insights, and site performance needs across the network.
• Partner with Research Site Partnership leaders and Quality team to identify performance gaps that require education intervention.
• Translate KPI trends (e.g., enrollment challenges, deviations, data quality issues) into actionable education plans.
• Support sites in implementing improvements through education, coaching, and follow-up reinforcement.
• Evaluate effectiveness of education through site feedback and performance improvement indicators.
• Partner with SCRI Quality team to align education with audit findings, CAPAs, and risk mitigation efforts.
• Collaborate with Training & Education team to ensure consistency with enterprise curriculum and avoid duplication.
• Contribute to development or refinement of standardized training materials based on recurring site needs.
• Serve as a bridge between enterprise education strategy and real-time site execution.
• Provide targeted onboarding support for new staff or new-to-research team members through role-based education.
