• Ensure essential documents are complete and maintained in compliance with ICH-GCP and applicable regulations
• Update study systems (e.g. CTMS) and provide study progress updates to the CTM as required
• Facilitate effective communication between investigational sites, sponsor, and internal project teams
• Support audits and inspections by ensuring audit readiness at site level
• Complete administrative tasks (e.g. expense reports, timesheets) in a timely manner
• Contribute to process improvements and team initiatives as applicable

Education and Experience Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in life sciences or a related field, or Registered Nurse qualification
• Minimum 1–2 years of clinical monitoring experience (or equivalent), or completion of a recognized CRA training program
• Experience working in an FSP or sponsor-dedicated model is preferred
• Experience in site management and monitoring within Singapore is preferred
• Familiarity with local regulatory requirements (e.g. HSA) and site practices is an advantage
• Valid driver’s licence is preferred (if applicable)

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Solid clinical monitoring skills with understanding of risk-based monitoring concepts
• Working knowledge of ICH-GCP, local regulatory requirements, and clinical trial processes
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Effective communication skills in English (additional regional language skills are a plus)
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including working with sponsor teams
• Good organisational and time management skills
• Attention to detail and commitment to quality
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment
