Avania is hiring Site Managers / CTA
Salary range $60,000 - $65,000 + Annual performance related bonus + Benefits
About the role
As a Site Manager at Avania, you will play a key role in supporting clinical trial site operations through proactive site outreach and communication, helping sites stay organized, responsive, and aligned with study expectations. In this role, you will serve as a central point of contact for site-facing follow-up, partnering with investigational sites to close action items, support enrollment discussions, collect essential documents, and help maintain study documentation such as the TMF. This position is designed for clinical research professionals who already understand the site environment—particularly those coming from Study Coordinator, nursing, or similar site-level backgrounds—and are ready to move into the clinical operations side of the business. It offers a strong entry point into Avania for individuals who are not new to research, but are looking to broaden their experience in a fully remote-based role. With direct exposure to site management activities and clear long-term development options, this role offers an excellent next step for someone looking to build a career in clinical operations.
What you'll be doing
- Conduct ongoing site outreach and communication to help keep assigned sites engaged, informed, and progressing against study expectations
- Follow up on action items with sites, helping drive timely resolution of outstanding tasks and operational questions
- Support discussions around enrollment strategies and site needs, helping sites stay focused on study goals and recruitment momentum
- Collect and review essential documents required for study execution, helping ensure materials are submitted and tracked appropriately
- Help maintain study documentation and support efforts to ensure the TMF remains current and organized
- Communicate clearly with sites regarding expectations, timelines, and required next steps, acting as a reliable operational partner
- Provide support related to site-facing processes such as documentation readiness and, where relevant, activities connected to IRB submissions
- Manage a site workload that may involve approximately 30 to 40 sites, depending on study assignment and overall distribution
Candidates who offer a combination of the skills, knowledge and experience listed below are encouraged to apply. With our continued growth we are hiring talent to join us on our journey and grow with us.
What we're looking for
- Prior experience working at the site level in clinical research, with a strong understanding of how investigational sites operate day to day
- Background as a Study Coordinator is especially relevant, with 3+ years of experience strongly preferred and more experience viewed favorably in a competitive applicant pool
- Additional site-based experience such as nursing or LVN experience may also be valuable when paired with clinical research exposure
- Solid understanding of research workflows, patient-facing environments, and the practical realities of supporting study execution from the site perspective
- Ability to transition successfully from a site-based role into a position on the clinical operations side of the industry
- Strong candidates may bring experience in more complex therapeutic or procedural environments, including cardiovascular, neurology, or operative/interventional physician office settings
- Comfort working in a fast-moving environment with a high volume of communication and follow-up responsibilities
- A professional, dependable approach to working with sites and internal stakeholders, with the maturity to represent Avania effectively in a remote setting
What you'll need
- Hands-on clinical research experience that demonstrates readiness for an entry-level-to-operations role, rather than an entry-level-to-research role
- A minimum of 3 years of coordinator experience is preferred to support success in independently managing site-facing responsibilities
- Ability to work effectively in a fully remote-based position without the need for current travel requirements
- Confidence using communication, organization, and follow-through skills to manage multiple site contacts and priorities at once
- Familiarity with essential site documentation and the administrative support needed to keep study records complete and current
- Exposure to activities such as site correspondence, action item tracking, enrollment support, and research documentation workflows
- Readiness to support one or more studies based on business need, with workload shaped by study assignment and site volume
- Interest in long-term development within clinical operations, whether through a future path toward CRA work or progression into a Clinical Lead track
- Ability to participate in a streamlined interview process expected to include recruiter screening and a single team interview
What we offer
We offer an opportunity to join Avania in a role that provides a meaningful foot in the door to clinical operations for professionals who already bring valuable site-level research experience. This position is ideal for someone looking to move from the site side into a broader operational role while remaining closely connected to site support and study execution. As a fully remote role, it offers the chance to build experience in a flexible working model without current travel expectations. The position also supports long-term career growth, with potential pathways into CRA progression for those interested in monitoring and travel, as well as an alternative route toward Clinical Lead opportunities for those who want to continue growing without following a traditional CRA path.
