Senior Clinical Research Associate

Senior Clinical Research Associate

Precision for Medicine is not your typical CRO. At Precision for Medicine we have brought together new technologies, expertise and operational scale to help the life sciences improve the speed, cost and success rate of bringing life-changing therapies to patients. What sets us apart is the way we integrate clinical trial execution with deep scientific knowledge, laboratory expertise and advanced data sciences.

We are passionate about cultivating our culture and are proud to share extremely high CRA retention rates compared to industry averages. CRAs join us, love their jobs, and stay because of the amazing people and enjoyable quality of life. You will focus on a lower than average number of protocols setting you up to be a protocol expert. Travel is reasonable and your work/life balance will benefit as a result. Most meaningfully - your voice will be heard. Working in a smaller CRO allows you to have influence and impact when it matters most and support from direct line management.
