Work Environment
The Senior Administrator oversees a stable, technically strong team of five, including two Senior Clinical Trial Monitors, two Clinical Trial Monitors, and one Research Regulatory Coordinator. The Senior team members already help coordinate workflow and assignment of work, so the incoming leader will build on an established structure rather than implementing a complete reorganization. The role is based at Parker Executive Park in a hybrid work model, with approximately two days per week on site and flexibility in specific in-office days. The monitoring team follows a similarly flexible schedule driven by monitoring requirements; for example, monitors may spend an entire week on site for intensive chart review and work remotely in other weeks. Prior experience managing a remote or hybrid team is not required. The environment emphasizes strong investigator engagement, high-impact oncology research, and a mission-driven culture focused on improving cancer outcomes.
