Meaningful Careers.

As a Clinical Research Coordinator I at Profound Research, you’ll support the execution of high-volume vaccine clinical trials at one of our sites. You’ll help manage study activities, lead participant visits, complete protocol-required procedures and documentation, and work closely with investigators, sponsors, CROs, and internal teams. This is not an entry-level support role – you’ll be expected to operate with ownership, sound judgment, and a strong understanding of clinical research standards.

This is a 1099 contract opportunity designed to support near-term vaccine study needs, with the potential to convert to a full-time position based on business needs, performance, and role availability. If you’re looking to build on your clinical research experience with a growing organization that values accountability, quality, and patient-centered execution, we’d like to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as a coordinator for assigned vaccine clinical trials, supporting study activities from start-up through closeout as needed

• Execute participant visit flow independently, including visit preparation, patient interaction, protocol-related procedures, data collection, and documentation

• Support high-volume clinic days by helping maintain efficient visit flow, clear communication, and accurate completion of study-required tasks

• Lead patient interactions with clarity and compassion, ensuring participants feel informed and supported throughout their study experience

• Perform clinical procedures as required by protocol, which may include vital signs, EKGs, phlebotomy, specimen collection, specimen processing, and other study-specific assessments

• Maintain accurate, timely, audit-ready documentation across source documents, CRFs, EDC systems, CTMS platforms, and other study tools

• Track, document, and escalate adverse events, deviations, safety findings, and protocol-related issues in accordance with study and regulatory requirements

• Communicate directly and professionally with investigators, sponsors, CROs, monitors, vendors, and internal team members

• Support site readiness for monitoring visits, sponsor communications, internal quality review, and audits

• Follow study protocols, SOPs, Good Clinical Practice, Good Documentation Practices, and infection control expectations to support compliant, high-quality trial execution

• Help maintain organized study materials, lab workflows, visit supplies, and documentation needed for efficient site operations

• Contribute to a fast-paced, team-based environment where quality, urgency, patient experience, and data integrity all matter
