Start Your Career in Clinical Research
If you’re curious about how new treatments reach patients, detail-oriented by nature, and energized by work that genuinely matters – this is where that career begins.
As an Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator at Profound Research, you’ll work alongside experienced clinical research staff at one of our sites, supporting the day-to-day execution of clinical trials that give patients access to therapies they couldn’t otherwise reach. You’ll learn by doing – gaining hands-on experience in study coordination, patient interaction, data collection, and clinical procedures – with a clear path to grow into greater ownership and responsibility over time.
This isn’t a behind-the-desk role. You’ll be present with patients, part of a team, and contributing to research that has real-world impact from day one.
What You’ll Do
Support the coordination of active clinical trials, including patient visits, scheduling, and study-related procedures
Assist with data collection and documentation, learning to apply the rigorous standards that clinical research demands
Perform and develop competency in clinical procedures including vital signs, EKGs, phlebotomy, and specimen processing
Interact directly with study participants – greeting them, explaining visit steps, and ensuring they feel supported throughout the process
Work closely with Clinical Research Coordinators and site leadership, asking questions, seeking feedback, and building your clinical knowledge base
Contribute to a compliant, audit-ready site by following established protocols, SOPs, and Good Documentation Practices
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need to have done this exact job before. You need to be the kind of person who takes ownership of their work, communicates clearly, pays close attention to detail, and genuinely cares about the patient experience. The rest we’ll help you build.
High school diploma or technical degree with 3+ years of relevant experience in life sciences, OR Associate’s degree with 1+ year of relevant experience, OR Bachelor’s degree with relevant coursework or experience in a clinical or life sciences setting
Familiarity with medical terminology and basic clinical procedures is a plus
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, team-based environment
Proficient with standard computer tools; able to learn new systems quickly
ICH-GCP and IATA certification required within a defined timeframe upon hire (we’ll support you through it)
