Job Details

Eikon Therapeutics is a new biopharmaceutical company employing revolutionary technology at the intersection of chemistry, engineering, computation, and biology to discover novel treatments for life-threatening diseases. Eikon’s discovery platform is built on groundbreaking innovations from its founders (Nobel Prize, 2014), culminating in the creation of microscopes which enable real time, molecular-resolution measurements of protein movement in living cells, thereby unlocking otherwise intractable classes of proteins as drug targets.

Position 

We are seeking a highly experienced, collaborative, and detail-oriented senior manager capable of helping Eikon optimize its clinical Site Engagement and Monitoring function to support delivery of world class clinical drug development. The successful candidate will work closely with the Eikon Site Engagement and Monitoring Excellence (SEME) team, global Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) and internal study teams across therapeutic areas to oversee clinical site engagement and monitoring activities. This role will require a minimum of 3 days a week of onsite presence (or more as business needs require) in either of our California, New York or New Jersey offices to ensure effective management, operational excellence and high-performance delivery of clinical studies and to support the expected significant team growth & collaboration.

About You

You have significant monitoring experience and a passion for leading, training, and mentoring CRAs. You are adept at developing and maintaining relationships with clinical trial sites and demonstrate the ability to oversee monitoring with a strong knowledge of Good Clinical Practice and clinical trial regulations to ensure subject safety, data integrity and inspection readiness. You have experience developing systems, resources, and tools to support high-quality monitoring and forecast CRA resourcing. You also have experience utilizing a Functional Service Provider (FSP) monitoring model embedded within a sponsor study team to execute major data collection and study milestones.

  • Perform and document monitoring oversight activities to assess monitoring quality and CRA performance.
  • At times, perform the CRA role as needed, to support prompt site qualification, initiation, monitoring and close-out visits at key sites to meet urgent study milestones.
  • Regularly review site and monitoring Key Risk Indicator (KRI) metrics to detect issues and ensure prompt resolution.
  • Serve as an escalation point for CRAs and as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to resolve site management and monitoring quality issues and develop/ensure implementation of Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) Plans as needed.
  • Support CRAs to ensure sites are inspection-ready and support Eikon Clinical Quality Assurance during site inspections.
  • Effectively utilize the CTMS and Trial Master File (TMF) to ensure SEME documents are promptly filed and site data is accurate.
  • Contribute to monitoring process improvement initiatives by developing functional area Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Work Instructions (WIs), job aids, and tools.
  • Contribute to improving site selection, monitoring, and monitoring oversight trip report templates in Veeva CTMS by identifying gaps, suggesting updates, testing and implementing change controls.
