Clinical Medical Monitor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Location: This position may be performed remotely, but requires the flexibility and willingness to travel as needed.
The Opportunity
Great clinical development depends on strong medical judgment in the moments that matter: when an investigator has a question, a safety event needs assessment, or emerging data require action. At Praxis, you'll provide hands-on medical oversight for assigned clinical programs, with patient safety and study quality at the center. You'll support investigators and sites on eligibility, dosing, safety events, and other medical questions; review clinical and safety data; assess serious adverse events; and identify emerging signals or trends. You'll partner closely with clinical leads and cross-functional study teams while maintaining independent medical judgment. This is a role for someone who wants to stay close to the patients, sites, and data and make timely, thoughtful decisions that keep studies moving safely and effectively.
Primary Responsibilities

• Medical oversight: Provide timely medical guidance for assigned studies, including eligibility, dosing, protocol requirements, safety events, and other study-related medical questions.
• Clinical safety assessment: Review AEs and SAEs, assessing causality, severity, expectedness, clinical significance, and potential implications for patients and the program.
• Site support: Respond promptly and consistently to investigator and site medical questions, balancing patient safety, protocol requirements, and sound clinical judgment.
• Data surveillance: Review patient-level and aggregate clinical and safety data to identify trends, inconsistencies, emerging signals, and areas requiring follow-up.
• Safety and regulatory compliance: Ensure medical monitoring, safety assessment, escalation, and documentation meet applicable regulatory requirements, GCP standards, and study protocols.
• Cross-functional partnership: Work closely with clinical development, clinical operations, safety/pharmacovigilance, biostatistics, data management, and regulatory colleagues to resolve issues and support high-quality study execution.
• Independent judgment: Bring a clear medical perspective to decisions, challenge assumptions when warranted, and know what to escalate and when.

Qualifications and Key Success Factors

• MD or equivalent medical degree required; CNS or relevant therapeutic area experience preferred.
• Clinical trial experience with responsibility for medical monitoring, clinical safety, or related medical oversight. The position may be hired at the Director or Senior Director level based on the depth and breadth of relevant experience.
• Strong clinical judgment and demonstrated ability to assess AEs and SAEs consistently and rigorously.
• Experience responding to investigator and site medical questions and making timely decisions when information is incomplete.
• Ability to review clinical data, recognize meaningful patterns or potential safety signals, and determine when action or additional surveillance is needed.
• Working knowledge of GCP, clinical trial safety reporting requirements, and documentation standards.
• You'll thrive here if you stay close to the work, communicate clearly, exercise independent judgment, and take ownership. You know when speed matters, when deeper investigation is needed, and when to escalate, all while keeping patient safety at the center.

The physical and mental requirements of our roles include but are not limited to regular use of a computer, devices or other office equipment, clear communication, and occasional movement. You'll need comfort with screen work, basic hand coordination, and focus. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these functions.
