Job description

Clinical Research Site Development Manager / Senior CRC


Sterling Clinical Research – Central Florida


Sterling Clinical Research is seeking an experienced Clinical Research Site Development Manager / Senior CRC to help grow and manage our expanding clinical research operation.


KEY REQUIREMENT: EXPERIENCE SECURING CLINICAL TRIALS


This is not a traditional CRC position.


We are specifically looking for someone with experience identifying, pursuing, and securing clinical trials from sponsors, pharmaceutical/biotech companies, and CROs.


The ideal candidate understands the full clinical research lifecycle—from study acquisition and feasibility through budget negotiation, site start-up, enrollment, study execution, and closeout.


You Will Have Dedicated Support


You will not be expected to do everything alone.


This position will have a dedicated Assistant CRC to assist with patient scheduling, study coordination, documentation, regulatory tasks, and other day-to-day research activities.


This allows you to focus more heavily on higher-level responsibilities, including bringing new trials to the site, developing sponsor/CRO relationships, negotiating budgets, managing study start-up, and overseeing successful trial execution.


Key Responsibilities


- Identify and pursue new clinical trial opportunities


- Develop and maintain relationships with sponsors and CROs


- Complete feasibility questionnaires and site-selection submissions


- Present our site capabilities to potential sponsors


- Coordinate qualification calls and Site Qualification Visits


- Negotiate study budgets, start-up fees, and other site costs


- Assist with Clinical Trial Agreement (CTA) negotiations


- Manage regulatory and site start-up activities


- Oversee study activation, enrollment, monitoring, and closeout


- Coordinate with investigators, sponsors, CROs, and research staff


- Supervise and work closely with the dedicated Assistant CRC


- Ensure compliance with GCP, FDA, IRB, and protocol requirements


What We’re Looking For


- 3+ years of clinical research experience preferred


- Proven experience obtaining or helping secure clinical trials for a research site


- Experience working directly with sponsors and CROs


- Experience with feasibility questionnaires and site selection


- Experience with study start-up and regulatory processes


- Experience negotiating clinical trial budgets


- Strong knowledge of GCP and clinical research regulations


- Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership


- Experience in orthopedics, pain management, spine, neuroscience, or medical device trials is a plus


Why Sterling Clinical Research?


Sterling Clinical Research has something many growing research sites spend years trying to develop:


Patients. Physicians. Facilities. Infrastructure.


Our research operation has access to:


75,000+ patients


13 affiliated medical clinics


Board-certified specialists


Orthopedic, Neurosurgery & Pain Management capabilities


In-house MRI


C-Arm procedure suites and X-ray capabilities


Established patient referral and recruitment infrastructure


Dedicated Assistant CRC support


Our goal is to continue building Sterling Clinical Research into a premier clinical research site in Central Florida.
We already have the infrastructure and patient population. We need an experienced research professional who knows how to turn those capabilities into clinical trial opportunities.
We Especially Want to Hear From You If…
You can confidently say:
“I know how to get clinical trials into a research site.”
When applying, please highlight your experience securing studies, developing sponsor/CRO relationships, negotiating budgets, and launching clinical trials.
