Your job

Job Summary

As a Clinical Operations Manager, you will join a dynamic and fast-growing team at the forefront of digital and patient-centred clinical research. Working closely with the Clinical Operations Lead, you will be directly involved in the execution of high-visibility studies (RIPH2/3, RWE, PSP), across several therapeutic areas.

This is a rare opportunity to consolidate your on-the-ground expertise while stepping into broader coordination missions: stakeholder management, process structuring, regulatory submissions, and contractual follow-up. You’ll be working in a rigorous yet supportive environment, designed for agility, innovation, and impact. Regular travel expected.

Your daily responsibilities

  • Support planning and follow-up of visits (site selection, initiation, monitoring, close-out)
  • Actively contribute to study meetings and track key performance indicators
  • Oversee study delivery at the site, ensuring quality and client satisfaction.

Regulatory & Contractual Coordination

  • Assist with regulatory submissions (ethics committees, ANSM)
  • Monitor contractual workflows: single-site agreements, amendments, budget annexes
  • Liaise with legal, clinical, and institutional stakeholders to ensure compliance

Quality & Documentation

  • Support the development of tools, trackers, SOPs, and internal templates
  • Maintain regulatory documentation and ensure audit-readiness
  • Ensure ongoing compliance with GCP, Jardé Law, ICH guidelines, and GDPR

Team & performance management

  • Lead regular meetings with direct reports and contribute to CRA training and development
  • Support line management of operational staff involved in study delivery
  • Monitor and support operational performance based on internal KPIs and quality metrics

Cross-functional collaboration

  • Work closely with Medical, Life Sciences, Data, and Product teams
  • Participate in internal alignment meetings and external study governance committees
  • Take part in clinical operations initiatives and cross-functional projects

2️⃣ What You’ll Bring

You’ll definitely have

  • A degree in life sciences, pharmacy, clinical research, or biomedical engineering
  • 4+ years of experience in clinical research (CRA, site manager, or junior project management)
  • Professional fluency in both French and English, written and spoken

You’re the right person if you

  • Are structured, rigorous, and autonomous with strong prioritisation skills
  • Thrive in fast-moving, cross-functional environments
  • Are curious, resourceful, and excellent communicators
  • Want to grow in an environment where ownership, impact, and collaboration are key
