Experienced Clinical Trial Manager with expertise in oncology and rare diseases.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Clinical Trial Manager with extensive experience in overseeing complex clinical trials, particularly in oncology and rare diseases. My journey began with a BSc in Economics and an MSc in International Business and Entrepreneurship from the University of Essex, which equipped me with a strong foundation in both clinical and business aspects of trial management.
Currently, I serve as a Senior Clinical Trial Manager at Celerion, where I facilitate the operational management of clinical trials, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and adherence to timelines. My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams, managing vendor relationships, and leading site selection processes to optimize trial execution. I have successfully managed trials for prestigious sponsors such as Novartis and AstraZeneca, demonstrating my ability to deliver results in high-pressure environments.
My skills extend beyond project management; I am proficient in using advanced trial management systems and have a proven track record of mentoring junior team members. I am passionate about fostering a collaborative work environment and continuously seek innovative solutions to enhance trial efficiency and quality.
