This is a fast-paced, high-accountability role where you’ll collaborate cross-functionally, ensure inspection readiness, and keep our clinical operations running smoothly.
If you’re a self-motivated leader who thrives on solving problems, navigating complexity, and working with humility, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do:

  • Provide operational management and leadership to cross-functional study team to execute the clinical study per agreed upon timelines, budget and quality.
  • Drive startup through closeout: IRB, contracting, site selection, initiation, monitoring, and metrics tracking.
  • Support inspection readiness and contribute to critical regulatory milestones.
  • Co-monitor with CRAs; review site visit reports and escalate issues proactively.
  • Maintain essential documents and trial master file (TMF) accuracy.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and vendors to ensure alignment and effective execution.

What You Bring:

  • 4+ years of CTM or site management experience in oncology clinical trials is required
  • Deep understanding of Phase 3 trial conduct and in-house operational models
  • Familiarity with ICH/GCP, FDA/EMA guidelines , and regulatory best practices
  • Strong leadership and problem-solving skills; ability to manage ambiguity and prioritize independently
  • Exceptional communication skills and comfort interacting with senior stakeholders
  • Prior CRA experience is a plus
  • High emotional intelligence and a “scrappy but humble” mindset

Why You’ll Succeed at Candel:

  • You know how to get things done without needing step-by-step instructions
  • You value collaboration over ego and strive to lift others as you grow
  • You’re excited to join a growing company and make a tangible impact
  • You care about patients, science, and people —in that order

Work Environment:

This is a hybrid position based in the Greater Boston area. Onsite presence of 1–2 days/week is expected. Occasional travel (~20%) may be required for site co-monitoring or inspections.
