Clinical Trial Monitor

About the Role

This is an exciting role for a Trial Manager to join The Cancer Research UK Cancer Prevention Trials Unit (CPTU) at Queen Mary University of London.

The CPTU specialises in the design and delivery of large-scale trials in cancer screening, prevention and early diagnosis. Our research typically involves complex, multi-centre studies with large and diverse populations, often delivered through decentralised models*.*

As a Trial Manager, you will play a key role in the planning, coordination, and delivery of clinical study(s) within the CPTU. We are looking for an experienced and proactive individual to manage trial operations, ensuring the smooth and efficient running of large-scale clinical trials that contribute to high-quality research and impact public health and clinical practice.

About You

You will be responsible for coordinating participant recruitment, enrolment, and retention strategies, as well as managing site engagement and trial governance. Working closely with the Clinical Project Manager (CPM), investigators, and external partners, you will oversee trial timelines, budget adherence, and regulatory compliance to ensure the study meets its objectives.

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Trial Manager to support the Clinical Project Manager and wider trial team to ensure the project is set up and delivered according to project milestones.

CCSPED also hosts the cross-cutting Cancer Behavioural Science group and the CRUK-funded Cancer Prevention Trials Unit (CPTU, Director, Sasieni).
