About the role

Clinical Research Coordinator IProfound Research partners with community physicians to offer clinical trials as a therapeutic option for their patients. We handle all infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and administrative operations so physicians can focus on patient care. Our model gives patients access to the newest therapies while maintaining the trusted patient-physician relationship.

Our Mission: Improving Lives by Providing Advanced Therapeutic Options

Our Vision: Creating the Absolute Best Patient-Physician Experience in Clinical Research

Our Values: Compassion: We prioritize the patient-physician relationship, ensuring every interaction is service-oriented and patient-centered. Urgency: We work hard and practice selflessness, acting swiftly and decisively to meet the needs of our patients, partners, and colleagues. Solution Orientation: We embrace challenges with a positive mindset, communicate directly, and identify and implement effective solutions with efficiency. Excellence: We insist on excellence, holding ourselves accountable and empowering each other to deliver best-in-class service while maintaining the highest ethical and scientific standards. If you're ready to bring your clinical research experience into a fast-paced, high-volume environment, this role offers an opportunity to make an immediate impact. As a Clinical Research Coordinator I at Profound Research, you'll support the execution of high-volume vaccine clinical trials at one of our sites. You'll help manage study activities, lead participant visits, complete protocol-required procedures and documentation, and work closely with investigators, sponsors, CROs, and internal teams. This is not an entry-level support role – you'll be expected to operate with ownership, sound judgment, and a strong understanding of clinical research standards. This is a 1099 contract opportunity designed to support near-term vaccine study needs, with the potential to convert to a full-time position based on business needs, performance, and role availability. If you're looking to build on your clinical research experience with a growing organization that values accountability, quality, and patient-centered execution, we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Do:

Serve as a coordinator for assigned vaccine clinical trials, supporting study activities from start-up through closeout as needed
Execute participant visit flow independently, including visit preparation, patient interaction, protocol-related procedures, data collection, and documentation
Support high-volume clinic days by helping maintain efficient visit flow, clear communication, and accurate completion of study-required tasks
Lead patient interactions with clarity and compassion, ensuring participants feel informed and supported throughout their study experience
Perform clinical procedures as required by protocol, which may include vital signs, EKGs, phlebotomy, specimen collection, specimen processing, and other study-specific assessments
Maintain accurate, timely, audit-ready documentation across source documents, CRFs, EDC systems, CTMS platforms, and other study tools
Track, document, and escalate adverse events, deviations, safety findings, and protocol-related issues in accordance with study and regulatory requirements
Communicate directly and professionally with investigators, sponsors, CROs, monitors, vendors, and internal team members
Support site readiness for monitoring visits, sponsor communications, internal quality review, and audits
Follow study protocols, SOPs, Good Clinical Practice, Good Documentation Practices, and infection control expectations to support compliant, high-quality trial execution
Help maintain organized study materials, lab workflows, visit supplies, and documentation needed for efficient site operations
Contribute to a fast-paced, team-based environment where quality, urgency, patient experience, and data integrity all matter

What We're Looking For:

You have clinical research experience and are ready to operate with more ownership. You're organized, detail-oriented, comfortable managing competing priorities, and able to follow through without heavy oversight.
Essential Qualifications
Bachelor's degree with 1+ year of relevant experience, OR Associate's degree with 3+ years of relevant experience, OR High school diploma with 4+ years of relevant experience and at least 1 year of CRC experience
Prior experience in clinical research, including exposure to clinical trial coordination, study visits, source documentation, and protocol-driven workflows
Experience performing or supporting clinical procedures, which may include vital signs, EKGs, phlebotomy, specimen collection, specimen processing, or lab-related workflows
Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, site-based clinical research environment
Ability to support high-volume patient visits while maintaining accuracy, professionalism, and a patient-centered approach
Strong documentation skills and understanding of audit-ready clinical research standards
Familiarity with EDC platforms, clinical trial management systems, eSource tools, EMRs, lab portals, or other clinical documentation systems
Working knowledge of Good Clinical Practice, Good Documentation Practices, protocol adherence, and regulatory expectations
Strong communication skills with the ability to interact professionally with patients, caregivers, investigators, site staff, sponsors, CROs, monitors, and internal teams
Ability to maintain professionalism, confidentiality, and care when working with patients and sensitive information

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience supporting vaccine studies, infectious disease studies, immunization clinics, urgent care, primary care, or other high-volume patient-facing clinical environments
Prior experience serving as a primary or lead coordinator for assigned studies
Experience with adverse event documentation, protocol deviations, query resolution, monitoring visits, and sponsor/CRO communication

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
