Regulatory and Compliance Ensure all local regulatory requirements and ethical codes are strictly followed. You will work closely with CROs to prepare submission files for Regulatory Authorities and Ethics Committees, ensuring timely responses to all inquiries.
Operational Oversight Lead country and center feasibility assessments. You will supervise the local management of Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) and oversee the entire site lifecycle, including start-up, equipment needs, and closure.
Coordination and Training Organize and coordinate training for investigators and site personnel, including Local Investigator Meetings and Site Initiation Visits. You will also ensure the internal study team receives technical, study-specific training.
Quality and Risk Management Verify that studies meet planned quality and scientific standards. You will be responsible for setting up corrective actions, answering audit findings, and providing full support during inspections by Regulatory Authorities.

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
