Own Your Studies. Grow Your Career. 

If you’re ready to step into real ownership of clinical trial coordination – managing your own studies, leading patient visits, and working with the independence that comes from having built a strong foundation – this role is the next step.  

As a Clinical Research Coordinator I at Profound Research, you’ll serve as the primary coordinator for assigned studies at one of our sites. You’ll manage study activities from start-up through closeout, lead interactions with study participants, maintain audit-ready documentation, and work directly with investigators, sponsors, and CROs. This isn’t a support role – you own your studies, and your work directly impacts patient safety, data integrity, and trial outcomes.  

What You’ll Do 

• Serve as primary coordinator for assigned clinical trials, managing study activities from start-up through closeout 

• Execute full visit flow independently – participant visits, protocol procedures, data collection, and documentation 

• Lead patient interactions with clarity and compassion, ensuring participants feel informed and supported throughout their study experience 

• Maintain accurate, timely, audit-ready documentation across source documents, CRFs, and EDC systems 

• Track and report adverse events, deviations, and safety findings in accordance with protocol and regulatory requirements 

• Communicate directly and professionally with investigators, sponsors, CROs, and internal teams 

• Support site readiness for monitoring visits and audits 

What We’re Looking For 

You’ve got some experience in clinical research and you’re ready for more responsibility. You’re organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently. You take ownership of your work and follow through without being reminded.  

• Bachelor’s degree with 1+ year of relevant experience, OR Associate’s degree with 3+ years of relevant experience, OR High school diploma with 4+ years of relevant experience and at least 1 year of CRC experience 

• Experience performing clinical procedures including vital signs, EKGs, phlebotomy, and lab processing 

• Comfortable working independently and managing competing priorities 

• Strong documentation skills and familiarity with EDC platforms and clinical trial management systems 

Physical Requirements & Work Environment  

• This role is performed on-site at a clinical or office facility and requires prolonged periods of sitting, standing, or walking throughout the work environment  

• Requires the ability to communicate clearly in verbal and written forms and to read and interpret detailed materials  

• Must be able to navigate a clinical facility, including areas with limited space, and transport supplies or work materials as needed 

• May be required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with facility protocols 

• Travel between company sites, meetings, or partner locations may be required 

• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the role  

Why Join Profound Research?  

• Meaningful Impact: Every role at Profound contributes to advancing medical knowledge and expanding therapeutic options for patients – the work we do here matters 

• Professional Growth: We invest in our people through comprehensive training, certification support, and ongoing education to help you grow in your role and your career

• Collaborative Culture: You’ll work alongside a team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about clinical research and committed to doing it well 

• Full Benefits Package: Competitive compensation, health insurance, PTO, retirement plan, and professional development support 

• Diverse Clinical Exposure: Work across multiple therapeutic areas and study phases, building a breadth of experience that’s rare in a single organization (for Clinical / Patient-Facing roles)
