Learn more: Position Summary If you’re a hands-on, detail-driven clinical research professional who thrives on collaboration and purpose, this role puts you at the heart of Candel Therapeutics’ mission to advance oncology research. As a Senior Clinical Research Associate (CRA) , you’ll serve as the key link between clinical sites and the Candel team—ensuring that every study runs with precision, integrity, and compassion for the patients at its core. You’ll play a vital role across multiple oncology programs, overseeing site readiness, patient recruitment, on-site and remote monitoring, and study close-out. Your proactive mindset and ability to think both strategically and tactically will help ensure studies stay compliant, on schedule, and data-driven—while fostering positive, trust-based relationships with investigators and coordinators. What You’ll Do Be the bridge between sites and Candel. Act as the primary liaison for all site communications ensuring alignment, transparency, and timely updates between investigators, study staff, and internal teams. Lead site operations end-to-end. Conduct pre-study assessments, initiation visits, on-site and remote monitoring, and study close-outs in full compliance with GCP, SOPs, and FDA regulations. Champion quality and compliance. Verify that data are accurate, complete, and protocol-adherent; ensure all essential documents and training records are current and audit-ready. Drive patient recruitment and retention. Collaborate with sites to develop tailored recruitment strategies and maintain strong participant engagement. Monitor data flow and timelines. Track data entry, query resolution, biospecimen and bioimaging submissions, and safety reporting—proactively resolving issues before they impact deliverables. Partner with CTMs for continuous improvement. Support CAPA implementation for QA findings and contribute insights that strengthen future study execution. Manage site-level operations. Oversee cost tracking, coordinate payments, and maintain accurate documentation throughout the study lifecycle. Collaborate cross-functionally. Work with internal stakeholders to refine study tools, SOPs, and Case Report Forms (CRFs), helping shape best practices that raise the bar for operational excellence. What You Bring Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s preferred in a health-related discipline. 3+ years of experience in oncology clinical trials with strong command of GCP, FDA regulations, and industry best practices. (This is a "must have".) Proven ability to manage multiple studies and databases independently while maintaining high standards of accuracy and efficiency. Excellent communication, organizational, and relationship-building skills—able to influence without authority and navigate complex site dynamics. Strong technical proficiency with Microsoft Office and familiarity with common project management tools. Sound judgment, professionalism, and discretion when handling sensitive or confidential information. Why You’ll Succeed at Candel You know how to get things done without needing step-by-step instructions. You value collaboration over ego and strive to lift others as you grow. You’re excited to join a growing company and make a tangible impact. You care about patients, science, and people—in that order. Work Environment This remote role will be based in East coast or mid-west locations preferably for convenience of time zones. #J-18808-Ljbffr Candel Therapeutics
