This position reports to the Associate Director, Quality Assurance Clinical.

  • Support mock inspections and global health authority readiness activities.
  • Prepare SMEs for FDA, EMA, and other inspections.
  • Monitor evolving ICH E6(R3)/GCP guidance and update procedures accordingly.

Mentorship & Quality Systems (Continuous)

  • Provide technical guidance to junior team members, contractors, and third party auditors.
  • Contribute to the development and optimization of Clinical and Quality SOPs and quality metrics.

Budget & Resource Planning

  • Support QA leadership in planning audit resources based on study risk and geographic needs.

What Were Looking For

  • 5+ years of direct experience in Clinical Quality Assurance or Clinical Compliance
  • Proven experience leading Phase 1-III GCP audits and executing risk-based audit plans
  • Hands-on experience with QMS and eTMF systems (e.g., Veeva Vault)
  • Strong ability to interpret ICH E6(R3) and 21 CFR Part 11 and translate them into practical quality strategies
