Principal CRA | Global CRO | Home-Based With Onsite Monitoring
Ready to step beyond Senior CRA without moving fully into people management?
I'm working with a global CRO that is looking to appoint a Principal CRA as part of its growing Australian team.
This role would suit an experienced Senior CRA who enjoys monitoring and site relationships but is looking for more influence, ownership and visibility within studies.
As a Principal CRA, you'll still remain close to the sites and the science, but you'll also become a key voice within the study team.
You'll be trusted with higher-profile sites, greater responsibility across study delivery, mentoring less experienced CRAs and acting as a go-to resource for both sites and internal stakeholders.
What I particularly like about this opportunity is that it genuinely feels like the next step up from Senior CRA, rather than simply the same role with a different title.
Why consider it?




Greater ownership and autonomy across your studies
Prospect to mentor and support more junior CRAs
Increased visibility with sponsors and project teams
Exposure to complex, global clinical trials
Clear progression pathway towards line management, CTM or project leadership roles
Home-based flexibility and strong work-life balance
What they're looking for:
Strong monitoring background across study start-up, routine monitoring and close-out
Confidence managing stakeholder relationships independently
Passion for quality, patient safety and study delivery
If you've been thinking about what your next step looks like beyond Senior CRA, I'd be happy to share more information confidentially.
