Come and do clinical research differently.

Not all CROs are built the same. At Ascend, we've built a business around one simple idea: exceptional people deliver exceptional clinical trials.

We're a founder-led Australian CRO with a reputation for quality, responsiveness and accountability. Our leadership team remains actively involved in every study we deliver, meaning our CRA's are supported by experienced clinical research professionals who understand the realities of the role and not layers of corporate management.

We are currently delivering over 30 studies across Asia Pacific supporting sponsors ranging from innovative start-ups to global medical device companies across early feasibility, first-in-human, post market medical device studies

We're looking for someone who:

✔ Has monitoring experience in medical devices or interventional clinical trials.

✔ Values quality over bureaucracy.

✔ Enjoys building genuine relationships with investigators and sponsors.

✔ Wants the autonomy to make good decisions, backed by an experienced leadership team.

✔ Takes pride in delivering studies properly—not just ticking boxes.

You will need to demonstrate:

- Robust understanding of clinical trial protocols and the ability to ensure consistent protocol adherence at study sites.
- Knowledge of clinical trials processes and methodology, including study start-up, conduct, and close-out activities.
- Demonstrated research and analytical skills to evaluate data quality,



identify issues, and support evidence-based decisions.
- Experience in clinical operations, including coordination with investigators, site staff, and cross-functional teams.
- Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, nursing, pharmacy, or a related field; advanced degree or relevant certifications (e.g., GCP) are an advantage.
- Thorough understanding of ICH-GCP, local regulatory requirements, and ethical guidelines for clinical research.
- Excellent organizational, communication, and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple sites and priorities.
- Proficiency with electronic data capture systems; attention to detail and high standards of documentation.
- Willingness to travel to clinical sites as required.

At Ascend, you'll work alongside clinicians, nurses and experienced research professionals who genuinely care about the success of every study and every patient.

If you're looking for another large corporate CRO, we're probably not for you. If you're looking for a team where your experience is valued, your voice is heard, and your work has a direct impact on the success of innovative medical technologies reaching patients, we'd love to hear from you.
