  • At least 4 plus years of onsite monitoring experience is required.
  • Previous medical device monitoring experience is required. Therapeutic area experience in neuro- or cardiovascular domain is also required.
  • Requires understanding and application of regulations and standards applied in clinical research areas and medical devices/combination products.
  • Relevant industry certifications preferred (i.e., CCRA, RAC, CDE).
  • Clinical/medical background - a plus.
  • Languages: Be able to converse and monitor in English and Dutch. Must be able to converse and understand the documentation, monitoring, etc. in a reasonably confident manner to monitor in that.
  • Ability to travel up to 80% of time.
