Project Manager

Join Us at Centricity Research!

Centricity Research is one of the largest clinical research networks in North America. We are a fully centralized Integrated Research Organization (IRO) specializing in conducting Phase I-IV clinical trials in over 35 therapeutic areas: inpatient and outpatient; pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device trials.

About the Role

As a Project Manager, you’ll be at the center of our clinical trial operations – making sure assigned studies launch on time, run smoothly, and meet enrollment goals. You’ll be the go-to connector between our research sites, internal teams, CROs, and sponsors, ensuring communication flows, challenges are tackled early, and every milestone is achieved. This is a fast-paced, problem-solving role where you’ll use your organizational skills and industry know-how to keep complex studies moving forward without missing a beat.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee assigned clinical trials from activation through close-out, keeping timelines, quality standards, and contractual deliverables on track.
• Act as the operational bridge between site teams, internal departments, and sponsors – making sure everyone stays aligned and informed.
• Spot and address potential risks before they impact study progress or quality.
• Monitor recruitment performance and implement targeted action plans to hit or exceed enrollment goals.
• Present concise, data-driven study updates to internal leadership and sponsor stakeholders.
• Represent the organization in sponsor meetings, advocating for resources, timeline adjustments, or protocol clarifications.
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to continuous process improvements across the network.
• Align all work with the organization’s mission, values, and OKR framework.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You:

• Bring at least 2–3 years of hands-on project management experience — this is essential for success in this role.
• Have experience in clinical research, preferably with exposure to site-level operations.
• Hold a bachelor’s degree in life sciences, healthcare, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Have a track record of meeting study start-up and enrollment targets.
• Know your way around GCP, ICH guidelines, and regulatory requirements.
• Communicate clearly and confidently — whether you’re presenting to leadership, negotiating with sponsors, or collaborating with site staff.
• Can juggle multiple priorities while keeping a calm, solutions-focused approach.
• Are comfortable using Microsoft Office and project management tools to keep everyone aligned.
