As CDC Trial Manager, you will lead assigned clinical trials from first plan to close-out across the CDC and Adjacent Affiliates. You will play a critical role in translating strategy into action, driving cross-functional collaboration, and ensuring that we continue to be a trusted partner for patients, investigators, and stakeholders.

While end-to-end trial planning and execution remain at its core, CDC TMs will also be expected to lead or co-lead strategic cross-trial initiatives that contribute to the advancement of clinical research and Novo's ambitions.

You will own the delivery of your assigned trials, from planning and start-up through to close-out. You will do this by keeping the plan clear, the risks visible and the quality high.

• Plan and manage assigned clinical trials end to end, including timelines, budgets, resources and the recruitment and retention plan.
• Oversee trial start-up, feasibility and the set-up, management and close-out of trial systems, including eTMF compliance checks.
• Monitor trial performance using metrics such as enrolment rates, site performance and budget adherence, and act early on risks with corrective and preventive actions.
• Lead cross-functional stakeholder management and represent the CDC and Adjacent Affiliates in trial meetings, including Investigator Meetings and LIM meetings or calls.
• Work with study start-up to define the submission strategy for Regulatory Authorities and Ethics Committees.
• Uphold a proportionate, risk-based approach to quality, including quality site visits where needed, and keep your trials inspection-ready at every stage.
• Coach and mentor the clinical trial team and train them on study protocols, operational procedures and ICH-GCP.
