About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Clinical Project Manager to join a growing, specialist CRO where you will have genuine ownership of clinical trial delivery and direct interaction with sponsors.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a lean, entrepreneurial CRO environment rather than a large, highly structured organisation. You will have the autonomy to make decisions, solve problems quickly and help shape how projects are delivered.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end delivery of clinical trials from start-up through close-out.
  • Act as the primary operational point of contact for sponsors and clients.
  • Develop and maintain project plans, timelines, milestones and delivery strategies.
  • Lead cross-functional and external study teams across multiple countries.
  • Manage study risks, issues, dependencies and mitigation plans.
  • Oversee CRO vendors, investigators, sites and other external partners.
  • Ensure studies are delivered in accordance with protocols, ICH-GCP, applicable regulations and client requirements.
  • Monitor project performance against timelines, quality expectations and agreed deliverables.
  • Lead project meetings, governance meetings and sponsor updates.
  • Provide clear and proactive communication to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Support study budgets, resource planning and change management alongside the wider project team.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, efficiency and the overall client experience.
  • Contribute to the development of SOPs, processes and ways of working as the CRO continues to scale.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
