What this role actually does

Responsibilities and pain points, sourced from the production graph.

Key responsibilities

  • Coordinate Protocol Execution so Visits, Procedures, Consent, and Source Documentation Occur Within Study Windows and Good Clinical Practice Requirements.
  • Maintain Inspection-ready Trial Records, Including Case Report Forms, Drug Accountability Logs, Regulatory Binders, Delegation Logs, and Progress Reports.
  • Operate Enrollment Administration by Screening Candidate Records, Tracking Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria, Documenting Screen Failures, and Updating Sponsor Enrollment Dashboards.
  • Manage EDC Data Entry and Query Resolution so Visit Data, Labs, Adverse Events, and Protocol Deviations Are Complete Before Monitoring Review or Database Lock.
  • Administer Site Start-up and Close-out Workflows, Including Essential Document Collection, Training Evidence, IRB Submissions, Activation Checklists, and Archival Handoffs.
  • Monitor Study Activity for Protocol Compliance, Escalate Deviations or Safety Events to Investigators, Sponsors, IRBs, and Oversight Agencies, and Document Corrective Actions.

Software pain points

  • Duplicate data entry from Epic or paper source into Medidata Rave EDC creates late entries and avoidable queries
  • Sponsor-mandated portals, passwords, and training create technology burden before a site can activate
  • Paper binders and scattered SharePoint folders make TMF completeness hard to prove during audits
  • Enrollment, visit-window, and screen-failure status live in separate spreadsheets rather than one operational view
  • Protocol amendments trigger manual re-training, document version checks, and visit-schedule corrections across studies
  • Adverse event and deviation handoffs rely on email, increasing the risk of late reporting or incomplete escalation

Workflow

A day in the workflow.

Starts day in Outlook and Microsoft Teams triaging sponsor messages, monitor requests, and visit reminders; checks Veeva Vault CTMS or OnCore CTMS for today’s protocol milestones, subject visits, deviations, and open action items; screens candidates in Epic, verifies criteria against the protocol PDF in SharePoint, and schedules visits in the CTMS; during patient blocks, captures consent in DocuSign or eConsent, logs procedures, and transcribes source data into Medidata Rave EDC or REDCap; after lunch, resolves EDC queries, updates Florence eBinders or Veeva Vault eTMF with regulatory documents, and joins a Zoom monitor or site-team call; late afternoon, reconciles enrollment, visit-window, and TMF health trackers in Microsoft Excel or Power BI, escalates safety events to the investigator and safety system, and closes the day by updating CTMS notes and tomorrow’s visit checklist
