The Role

We are seeking a high-level, technically proficient Senior or Principal CRA to oversee complex monitoring activities for specialized Medical Device trials. Unlike high-volume CRO environments, this role requires a "hands‑on" expert who possesses the deep clinical intuition and technical skills that only come with years of dedicated field experience.

You will manage site performance across the country, focusing on high‑enrollment sites and long‑term follow‑up monitoring.

What Sets You Apart

• True Seniority: You have 5+ years of experience and have mastered the nuances of site management. You are looking for a role where your actual skill set—not just your title—is utilized.
• Medical Device Expertise: You have a proven track record specifically in the Medical Device sector. Experience in Cardiology is a significant advantage.
• Site Management Prowess: You prioritize site health and data integrity over "checking boxes." You excel at managing site volume, patient enrollment, and rigorous long‑term monitoring.
• Stability: Your career history reflects commitment and steady growth rather than rapid‑fire jumping or title inflation.

Core Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive monitoring visits (PSV, SIV, RM, COV) across country
• Manage a high volume of site activities, ensuring adherence to protocols, IDE regulations, and ISO 14155 standards.
• Drive enrollment and oversee long‑term patient follow‑up for complex device studies.
• Act as a primary liaison for clinical sites, fostering strong investigator relationships.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5+ years of CRA experience (must be at a Senior or Principal level).
• Direct Medical Device monitoring experience is required.
• Cardiology therapeutic experience is highly preferred.
• Experience outside of "Big CRO" environments is preferred; we value versatile talent capable of working independently.
• Ability to travel 60% of the time (approx. 2 weeks/month).
• Must be based in the U.S.; Central Time Zone is a plus to bridge Eastern and Western engagements.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
