Job description

The Oncology Patient Navigator is a patient-facing support role within a structured clinical trial recruitment and referral program, performed by a qualified oncologist. In this role, you will guide potentially eligible cancer patients through the recruitment and referral process — closing information gaps, building trust, and supporting patient-initiated interactions with treating physicians and study sites. This is a guidance and coordination role, not a treating or clinical decision-making position: you will not provide medical advice, make treatment recommendations, or make clinical eligibility decisions.


What You'll Do

•     Complete onboarding on our clinical trial recruitment process, study-specific inclusion/exclusion criteria, the patient journey, and standardized Medical Record Review (MRR) procedures, including relevant data protection and consent requirements.

•     Conduct structured, trust-building patient interviews to collect relevant indication data and educate patients on clinical trial processes.

•     Perform a pre-screening Medical Record Review — an indicative, non-binding assessment of general study eligibility based on patient-provided medical documents.

•     Identify and present potentially suitable study options — including publicly listed alternatives (e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov) where relevant — in a clear, neutral format, always prioritizing the patient's best interest.

•     Coordinate the appropriate referral pathway based on patient preference: contacting the treating oncologist, connecting investigators with treating physicians, or supporting direct site referral.

•     Maintain accurate, minimal, and relevant documentation of interviews, study options, and follow-ups, and ensure timely, clean handovers to sites.


What This Role Does Not Include

•     Providing individual medical advice, treatment, or diagnostic recommendations.

•     Making clinical eligibility decisions or replacing physician informed-consent counseling.

•     Conducting the study site's informed consent session.

•     Creating verbatim conversation transcripts or storing non-relevant patient information.


What We're Looking For

•     Qualified oncologist (MD or equivalent medical credential with an oncology specialization).

•     Strong, empathetic communication skills and the ability to build trust with patients navigating a cancer diagnosis.

•     Familiarity with clinical trial processes, patient recruitment, and screening workflows.

•     Working knowledge of data protection and informed-consent frameworks in a healthcare/clinical trial context.

•     Comfortable documenting work in a structured case-management system.


What Success Looks Like

•     Clear, patient-appropriate communication throughout the process.

•     Complete, traceable documentation limited to relevant data points.

•     Timely follow-ups and clean handoffs to healthcare providers and study sites.

•     Full compliance with data protection, consent, and internal process standards.
