About The Role

We are seeking a Compliance Lead to support the safety, rights, and well-being of study participants while ensuring the quality and integrity of clinical trial operations across assigned sites. This role provides oversight of compliance activities, mentors quality-support staff, and partners closely with Clinical Operations, Training & Development, and Research Management to proactively identify risk and maintain audit readiness.

The Compliance Lead plays a critical role in upholding adherence to study protocols, ICH/GCP, Centricity SOPs, and regulatory requirements, while driving continuous improvement across clinical trials.

  • Ensure completeness and compliance of study documentation, including source documents, CRFs, and the Investigator Site File (ISF)
  • Confirm appropriate and consistent oversight by the Qualified Investigator
  • Review protocol deviations for completeness and IRB reporting; determine CAPAs, additional training needs, and escalate systemic issues as needed
  • Review AEs and SAEs for accuracy, completeness, and timely reporting
  • Track and review monitoring follow-up reports to ensure appropriate risk assessment and timely closure of findings
  • Liaise with CRAs, Sponsors, CROs, and external partners regarding site quality and study status
  • Conduct internal audits using risk-based principles and support audit follow-up activities
  • Lead preparation and readiness for inspections and audits (FDA, Health Canada, Sponsor/CRO, and internal)
  • Perform mock emergency drills with key CPU staff and support real-time (“live”) QC for high-risk trials
  • Support onboarding and ongoing training initiatives; complete new-hire quality check-ins and assigned quarterly check-ins
  • Identify and escalate training needs to the Clinical Training Administrator
  • Maintain and update Research SOPs and WPs in collaboration with Research Management and the Senior Quality Manager
  • Support responses to FDA 483s or Health Canada observations, including documentation and procedure updates
  • Perform vendor audits as required
  • Assist CRCs with standardized Site Initiation Visit (SIV) preparation
  • Partner cross-functionally to support quality standards, site performance, and continuous improvement initiatives

You Might Be a Great Fit If You

  • Have a bachelor’s degree in science or a related field, or equivalent experience
  • Bring at least two years of clinical research experience (e.g., CRC, QA/QC, regulatory, monitoring, or similar)
  • Possess strong knowledge of ICH/GCP, clinical trial processes, and regulatory requirements
  • Have experience reviewing study documentation, deviations, AEs/SAEs, and monitoring follow-up reports
  • Have prior exposure to audits, inspections, or quality assurance activities
  • Hold or are working toward ACRP or SOCRA certification (preferred)
  • Demonstrate a strong quality and compliance mindset with exceptional attention to detail
  • Think critically, assess risk effectively, and recommend practical corrective actions
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with site staff, monitors, regulators, and leadership
  • Enjoy mentoring others and supporting staff development
  • Are highly organized and able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
  • Work well independently while collaborating across Clinical Operations, Training, and Research Management
  • Adapt easily to changing trial requirements and regulatory expectations
  • Are motivated by continuous improvement and strengthening operational quality
