Overview We are seeking a Lead Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) who is ready to take ownership of a new clinical research program and grow into a management role. This position offers the opportunity to be the backbone of a developing research department—balancing hands‑on clinical trial execution with leadership and process‑building responsibilities.

Serve as the lead research professional on site, acting as the liaison between the PI, site staff, and sponsors.

Train and mentor new CRCs and support staff as the team grows.

Support recruitment efforts using EMR searches, outreach, and collaboration with clinic staff.

Assist in budget negotiation and contract management as the department grows.

Participate in site process development and long‑term operational planning.
