Job Overview:

Regional Study Coordinator

Do you excel at coordinating events and information into a complex timeline? If you have a background in science or experience in project management, then joining our study team as a Regional Study Coordinator (RSC), an associate project manager role, could be the gateway to unleash your extraordinary potential with a career in project management.

Our RSCs manage local laboratory operations and serve as the bridge between our internal departments and various clinical studies. To be successful, RSCs must manage many competing interests, and communicate and articulate critical information to each department and amongst the project management team.

The position is Home based and can be located in UK, Belgium, Switzerland or Spain.

About the Job

You’ll join our Global Project Management Department, a team of exceptional people who are unified by an energizing purpose to transform healthcare and improve lives around the globe. Clinical studies are developed and managed collaboratively by a study team, and the RSC manages the day-to-day activities of a clinical trial at a regional level. RSCs manage multiple studies and the responsibilities for each include:

• Collaborate with the Global Study Manager for all local study related aspects. Specifically, study set up and closure; ordering of study start up supplies, answering CRA questions regarding country specific regulations, etc.


• Act as regional liaison between Global Study Manager and various CLS departments involved in the study.


• Act as a regional liaison between assigned client representatives (e.g., Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) or Site Monitors) and Covance CLS internal departments and teams.


• Monitor, track and provide resolution to all local study issues; especially logistic issues and/or delays in receipt of study supplies, all the while keeping the Global Study Manager in the communication loop.


• Clean the laboratory database; e.g., a lab sample has been placed on hold and is not being analyzed, determine why it is not being processed and then resolve the issue.


• Deliver outstanding customer service and timely responsiveness to ensure client satisfaction, which requires a clear understanding of study design and major budget drivers.


• Work in a matrix environment where some task assignments are being channeled down to be dealt with by RSCs while other task assignments will need to be delegated by Regional Study Coordinators to other functional groups.

• Excellent communication and organization skills


• Demonstrated time management skills


• Dedicated to teamwork
