Clinical Research Associate
Job details
Full job description
We are hiring a Clinical Research Associate to join Vertex Sciences in Burlington.
About Vertex Sciences
Vertex Sciences is a family-owned biotech and research engineering business based in Burlington. Founded in 2015, we run 2 locations in Western Massachusetts and employ a tight team that values doing the work well over scale.
About the role
You'll monitor clinical trial sites to make sure studies run ethically and by the book: conducting initiation, routine monitoring, and close-out visits, verifying source data against case report forms, confirming informed-consent and protocol compliance, reviewing drug accountability, resolving data queries with site staff, and writing visit reports that document exactly what you found. Regular travel to sites is part of the role.
What you will bring
You know ICH-GCP cold and have experience in clinical research, whether as a CRA or study coordinator. You're diplomatic but firm when a site drifts from protocol, obsessive about documentation, and comfortable managing your own travel schedule and deadlines.
Apply today and we will be in touch. Eligibility for US work authorisation is required at offer stage.
Required Qualifications
- Degree in life sciences, nursing, or a related field
- 1+ year of clinical research experience with working knowledge of ICH-GCP and Health Canada regulations
- Willingness to travel regularly to study sites
- Eligibility to work in Canada
Benefits
- Tuition reimbursement for relevant graduate coursework
- On-site or subsidised parking
- Paid time off (15-20 days) plus federal holidays
- Full health, dental, and vision benefits from day one
