IRT Senior Manager Clinical Business Operations - Clinical Systems

Planet Group
Sidney, OH


Clinical Business Operations-Clinical Systems is a business unit within the Clinical Operations Department. This role will report to the Senior Director of Clinical Operations.

The Interactive Response Technology (IRT) Project Manager [“Project Manager”] assumes responsibility for supporting the operational execution of the IRT system used for Phase I to IV clinical studies in development. The IRT is a critical system in ensuring safety of all patients taking investigational medicinal product (IMP,) and if not set-up correctly, could jeopardize the usability of data obtained within the clinical studies. As an expert in IRT, the Project Manager leads the set-up and testing of the system, ensuring it meets the requirements of the clinical study protocol and that all associated processes are fully compliant with GxP regulations. The Project Manager continues to assume accountability of the IRT during the system’s life cycle, overseeing implementation for any required amendments. This will require strong collaboration with the Clinical Operations Study Lead (COSL) and the Quality System & Compliance (QS&C) team members to ensure our IRT system(s) meets compliance requirements.

The Project Manager is also responsible for working closely with Investigational Supply Operations (ISO) to support assurance that the IRT settings allow for the appropriate stock of Investigational Product (IP) for study sites to allocate to patients. The Project Manager will also work with Data Management to support IRT integrations with the Electronic Data Capture (EDC) System.

Further, the Project Manager is responsible for supporting the build-out of this role within the Clinical Systems group. Examples may include: creation of an IRT Playbook that helps study teams understand company standards for IRT technology, acting as the primary contact for the IRT vendor and seeking opportunities to improve the Sponsor-Vendor partnership, nominating and implementation process improvements in the IRT space and keeping the clinical development functions abreast of IRT industry trends and technology solutions. We are looking for an emerging or proven leader who can work independently and has the experience to help the company create a seamless IRT process from vendor selection through system close-out.
