Clinical Research Associate I | Boutique CRO

We are partnering with a growing specialist CRO to appoint a Clinical Research Associate I (CRA I) to join its clinical operations team in Sydney or Melbourne.

This is an opportunity to join a close-knit, quality-focused environment where leadership is accessible, collaboration is valued, and CRAs are supported to build confident, independent monitoring capability.

The team recognises that great site management is about more than submitting monitoring reports. It is about building trusted site relationships, identifying risks early, keeping studies on track, and knowing when to seek support to make sound decisions.

In this boutique CRO setting, you will gain hands-on exposure across the full monitoring lifecycle while working alongside experienced clinical operations professionals. You will have the opportunity to develop broad experience in study delivery rather than being confined to a narrow remit.

What you can expect

• A manageable site portfolio, considered with geography, study complexity and quality in mind
• Direct access to experienced clinical operations leadership and mentoring
• Support to build independence in site management and monitoring activities
• A collaborative team that shares knowledge and works together to resolve site and study challenges
• Exposure to a variety of clinical trial activities and therapeutic areas
• The opportunity to contribute ideas and feedback in a growing organisation
• A home-based role with on-site monitoring across your region and, where required, nationally

About you

To be successful, you will have:

• Approximately 9–12 months’ experience in a CRA I, in-house CRA, clinical trial coordinator or related clinical research role
• Exposure to clinical trial monitoring activities, including site visits, documentation review and follow-up
• A sound understanding of ICH-GCP and applicable clinical trial regulations
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with investigational sites
• Excellent organisation skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities
• A proactive approach, willingness to learn and confidence to escalate issues appropriately
• Full Australian working rights and the ability to travel for site monitoring

This role would suit an early-career CRA who is ready to strengthen their independent monitoring experience within a supportive, high-quality CRO environment.

Sydney- and Melbourne-based candidates are encouraged to apply.
