About the role

We are looking to appoint 2 Senior Project Managers (SPM) on a fixed term basis to undertake specific maternity cover, the duration of which is dependent upon completion of the cover, return of the post holder or cessation of the funding, whichever is sooner.

The SPM will be responsible for managing a portfolio of trials and has line management responsibility for Trial Managers (TM) and Data Managers (DM) within their team. The SPM works closely with the Senior Management Team to develop new trials, deal with issues in ongoing trials, prioritise and manage the workload of the team, and to continuously assess the working practices of the team to inform changes to improve communication, efficiency and quality.

This is a high-level post, and candidates must already have acquired considerable experience in conducting and managing several clinical interventional trials.

The majority of studies at the CTC involve evaluating investigational medicinal products, therefore the post-holder would need to have had sufficient knowledge and experience in these particular studies.
