Immunera builds blood tests that use gene sequencing and machine learning to help patients with autoimmune disease. Our technology has been published in Science and covered by The New York Times and STAT News.
We’re hiring a Senior Clinical Research Associate to lead our clinical site partnerships. Our studies run at independent clinical sites that collaborate with us to enroll patients and collect blood samples. You’ll be the lead point of contact for their investigators and site staff, and you’ll monitor study conduct at each site, with significant autonomy.
This is an early hire on a small team. Beyond site work, you’ll contribute across clinical operations: study startup, maintaining critical documentation, vendor oversight, and general company needs. You’ll report to our head of clinical operations. The role involves travel to study sites, up to 50% of the time.
What you’ll work on
- Run site startup end to end: identification and feasibility, contracting and regulatory startup, training, and activation.
- Conduct site monitoring: qualification, initiation, and routine monitoring visits. Make sure sites have the tools and materials to run study visits in line with the protocol, GCP, and applicable regulations.
- Review source documents, essential documents, and clinical data for completeness and accuracy. Identify and help resolve site issues, protocol deviations, and data queries.
- Oversee vendors and external partners against contracted work orders and budgets.
- Manage study documentation, tracking, and reporting, and keep us inspection-ready.
- Help develop and refine our clinical processes, SOPs, study plans, templates, budgets, and workflows.
- Report study status and metrics to the broader team and leadership.
How we work
- We treat participating sites as collaborators, and we make their work as easy as we can.
- We raise problems early and transparently, so they can be fixed while they’re still small.
- We’re a small team: everyone pitches in to solve problems, build processes, and get things across the finish line, even outside their job description.
- Plans change as we learn. We adapt quickly when new information comes in.
What you bring
Required
- Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, nursing, clinical research, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience in clinical research, clinical operations, or site management, including working directly with investigators and site staff.
- Expert knowledge of GCP and clinical research regulations.
- Strong organization and project management: you can prioritize competing demands and keep projects moving without extensive oversight.
- Clear written and verbal communication, and strong attention to detail.
- Ability to travel up to 50%.
Preferred
- Experience in diagnostics, medical devices, IVD, or biotech.
- Experience helping set up clinical processes or SOPs at an early-stage company.
Why Immunera
You’ll join a small team working across immunology, machine learning, and clinical care. You’ll have more ownership and variety than a traditional CRA role, broad exposure to clinical development and company operations, and direct work with leadership. The role will grow as our clinical programs expand. If you want to help build clinical operations from an early stage, we’d love to talk.
We offer competitive compensation, equity, health coverage, and retirement benefits.
Base salary range: $100,000 – $140,000, plus equity.
