You will contribute to the wider LCTC strategic development via participation in the Senior Management Team, will represent LCTC as required at institutional or national meetings and will contribute to successful Good Clinical Practice audits and regulatory Inspections as required.

The successful candidate will be a proven leader and motivator with extensive senior level experience in clinical research. Having expert knowledge of project management within regulatory and ethical frameworks and experience of line management and working across the entire trial life cycle of trials will be an advantage.
