Avania is hiring - Senior Site Manager
Salary range $75,000 - $80,000 + Annual Performance Related Bonus + Benefits
About the role
As a Senior Site Manager at Avania, you will play a key role in supporting clinical trial site operations from feasibility through site initiation, helping ensure sites are prepared, organized, and equipped to begin study activities successfully. In this role, you will serve as a knowledgeable partner to sites and internal teams, guiding essential document collection, protocol and training readiness, and start-up coordination with confidence and clarity. What differentiates this senior-level position is the ability to perform remote monitoring activities, including remote source data verification (SDV), making it well suited for professionals with prior CRA or in-house monitoring experience who are looking to apply their expertise in a less travel-intensive role. You will collaborate closely with CRAs and cross-functional stakeholders, bring structure and sound judgment to site-facing work, and may also provide mentorship to more junior team members. With meaningful ownership, broad exposure across the site lifecycle, and the opportunity to help drive quality site readiness, this position offers a strong next step for an experienced clinical research professional.
What you'll be doing
- Manage and support clinical trial sites from feasibility through site initiation, helping drive readiness for study start-up activities
- Guide sites through essential document collection, protocol understanding, and training requirements to support timely and compliant activation
- Build strong working relationships with sites, providing clear communication and practical direction on what is needed to get set up appropriately
- Perform remote monitoring activities, including remote source data verification (SDV), in alignment with study and sponsor requirements
- Review site documentation and study information with a detail-oriented approach to help ensure completeness, accuracy, and operational readiness
- Partner with field-based CRAs by supporting site-related activities that can be effectively managed remotely
- Apply prior monitoring or site management knowledge to identify issues early, escalate when needed, and help maintain momentum across start-up and site support tasks
- Contribute at a senior level by sharing expertise, supporting consistency in ways of working, and mentoring junior team members where appropriate
Candidates who offer a combination of the skills, knowledge and experience listed below are encouraged to apply for Avania's Senior Site Manager opportunity. With our continued growth we are hiring talent to join us on our journey and grow with us.
What we're looking for
- Proven experience in clinical research with a background that supports success in site-facing operational work, particularly within CRO or related regulated environments
- Prior monitoring experience is strongly preferred, making this role especially well suited to a former CRA, CRA II, seeking reduced travel or experienced in-house CRA
- Strong understanding of remote monitoring and source data verification, with the ability to apply monitoring judgment in a remote environment
- Experience supporting or managing site start-up activities, including essential document collection, site communication, and readiness through SIV
- Confidence interacting directly with investigational sites and guiding them through expectations, requirements, and next steps
- Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple site activities while maintaining attention to detail
- A practical, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to work independently and make sound decisions in a fast-paced study environment
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with CRAs and internal operational teams
- Previous experience as a Start-Up Associate, Site Manager, Study Coordinator, or similar role in clinical research may be highly relevant when paired with the right level of expertise
- Interest in contributing at a more senior level, including helping support or mentor junior colleagues as needed
What you'll need
- Hands-on experience in a role such as CRA, in-house CRA, Site Manager, Start-Up Associate, or another clinical research position with direct relevance to site management responsibilities
- Ability to independently support site activities across the early study lifecycle, particularly from feasibility to site initiation visit (SIV)
- Working knowledge of site start-up requirements and documentation, with the ability to assess what is needed for site readiness
- Experience reviewing source and study-related information in support of remote SDV or comparable monitoring activities
- Comfort working in a role that is less travel-focused than traditional field monitoring while still relying on strong monitoring fundamentals
- Ability to communicate professionally and effectively with study sites, helping them navigate requirements and stay on track
- Demonstrated judgment, accountability, and follow-through when managing multiple priorities and resolving site-related issues
- Willingness and capability to support collaboration across teams and contribute to efficient study execution
- Flexibility on location, with east and central locations preferred
- Readiness to step into a senior-level role with broader ownership and the potential to mentor less experienced team members
What we offer
We offer an opportunity to join Avania in a role that combines
site management expertise with the added scope of
remote monitoring responsibilities, giving experienced clinical research professionals a chance to broaden their impact while stepping away from heavier travel expectations. You will work in a collaborative environment where your experience can directly support site readiness, study execution, and team effectiveness. This role provides meaningful exposure to both operational site support and senior-level contribution, including the opportunity to share knowledge with more junior colleagues. You will also be part of a growing organization with an active hiring environment and continued investment in clinical operations talent
We look forward to receiving your application!
