A healthcare research team needs a full-time Virtual Clinical Research Coordinator. The role is remote, pays roughly $58,000 a year, and the coordinator can be based anywhere.
Requirements
You'll need a bachelor's degree, typically in a life science, nursing, or related health field. Two years of experience coordinating clinical trials is the baseline the employer is asking for, along with a working knowledge of Good Clinical Practice regulations. Trial coordination is one of those jobs where the resume gap between "helped out on a study" and "ran intake through close-out" matters quite a bit to whoever's screening applications.
What This Role Covers
- Manage the day-to-day operations of assigned clinical trials
- Recruit and screen study participants against eligibility criteria
- Monitor enrolled participants throughout the trial period
- Ensure data collection and reporting meet regulatory standards
Some weeks lean heavily on recruitment calls and eligibility screening. Other weeks, it's almost entirely documentation: chasing down a case report form before a monitoring visit, fixing a data-entry error a monitor flagged last month. A participant might call in confused about whether missing a dosing window disqualifies them from continuing, and figuring that out on the spot without derailing the rest of the day's calls is a fairly normal part of the job.
Skills
The core skills employers list for this kind of position include:
- Familiarity with clinical trial protocols
- Regulatory compliance, particularly GCP standards
- Data management across trial documentation
- Clear, professional communication with patients and study participants
- Sustained attention to detail across long-running trials
Experience with an electronic data capture platform such as REDCap or Medidata Rave helps a new hire get up to speed faster than someone learning the system from scratch. Prior exposure to IRB submissions isn't required, but Naukri Mitra's clients tend to notice it on a resume.
Pay and Benefits
Full-time, remote, paying around $58,000 a year in USD. Health insurance, paid time off, and retirement plan matching are standard for full-time roles like this one. Paid holidays and team events get added by some employers and skipped by others.
Doing This Job Remotely
Without a physical site, recruitment calls replace waiting-room conversations, and monitoring visits happen over a shared screen instead of walking a monitor through a filing cabinet. None of that changes what's actually required of the job. A regulatory deadline doesn't care whether the coordinator is at a desk in a clinic or at home with two monitors and a cat walking across the keyboard. Coordinators who do well remotely are usually the ones who were already managing most of their relationships by phone and email anyway, even back when they had an office to go to.
How to Apply
Send a resume covering your trial experience, therapeutic areas, and any certifications, CCRC or CCRP if you hold one. Naming the specific systems you've used for data capture or regulatory submissions tends to get noticed faster than a general skills summary. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so there's no fixed deadline to wait for.
