The research group University of Oxford Diabetes Trials Unit (DTU) within Oxford Centre for Endocrinology and Metabolism (OCDEM) is looking for a highly motivated Clinical Trial Manager to join our successful UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC) registered clinical trials unit.  DTU specialises in performing national and multinational clinical trials related to treating and managing diabetes and other cardiometabolic and related disorders.

 

As the Clinical Trial Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the day-to-day management of the trial(s), acting as the central point of contact and providing updates to the Chief Investigator and Senior Clinical Trial Manager. You will manage activities to ensure trial delivery within the agreed timelines and budget and in compliance with applicable policies, regulations and sponsor requirements. Activities include protocol writing, regulatory/ethics submissions, administration of protocol amendments, management of trial sites and supplies, preparation of progress reports, administration of the trial governance committees and Trial Master File maintenance. You will work closely with the internal multi-disciplinary team and liaise with external collaborators, governance committee members, sponsors and funders.

 

You will hold a higher degree or equivalent experience and have proven independent clinical trial management experience and a thorough understanding of Good Clinical Practice and other key regulatory and ethical frameworks. You should have experience of working collaboratively on complex projects and an understanding of trial design and methodology. You must be equally capable of working independently and as an integral member of the trial team with excellent interpersonal and communication skills and line management experience.  Strong organisational and time management skills are essential, with the ability to manage conflicting priorities and problem solve using your own initiative. Previous experience as a trial manager in a non-commercial setting and experience working on a medical device trial or Clinical Trial of an Investigational Medicinal Product (CTIMP) are desirable.
