About you

Having an eye for detail and the ability to think logically, you are a consummate team player with demonstrable expertise in the building of professional databases for clinical research. Excellent communication and problem-solving skills are essential in order to communicate complex issues to non-specialists, as is a tenacious ability to follow-up with clients, to complete tasks on time and to target.

You will be primarily responsible for the design, build and testing of clinical trial databases using Elsevier MACRO (or an equivalent), an off the shelf clinical electronic data capture (EDC) system. You will work with enthusiastic investigators, experienced trial managers and statisticians to advise on the available data collection tools, draft a database specification, develop the database and provide ongoing support for the life of the clinical trial. You will also be responsible for drafting testing plans for databases while supporting peers with their database testing plans. You will act as a source of technical knowledge for the trial team and advise on the best way to electronically capture their data. You will be able to demonstrate the functions of our EDC solution to support the research teams in their goal to collect complete and accurate high-quality datasets. Throughout the lifetime of the clinical trial you will support the study team with any database amendments, troubleshooting or training needs.
