Strong working knowledge of ICH Good Clinical Practice and Australian regulatory and ethical frameworks governing clinical trials
Highly organised and detail-oriented, with a track record of managing competing priorities and delivering outcomes to a high standard
Advanced communication skills, including the ability to prepare high-quality research documentation and engage confidently with diverse stakeholders
A collaborative and proactive mindset, with the ability to mentor junior staff and contribute positively to a high-performing, purpose-driven research team
