Recession or Not, We Still Press On

You may be surprised to hear that, even with the state of the economy, we are still busy recruiting for great Clinical candidates. We are currently working on a number of attractive opportunities with growing companies in the local Massachusetts market. I have compiled a list of the following opportunities that are on the top of my list right now. So, if you are someone who is interested in staying aware of the current opportunities in your area, please contact me at nate_t@prestigescientific.com.

Director Opportunities:

Senior Director, Clinical Outsourcing: this opportunity will oversee all clinical outsourcing for our client in the Metro-West area of Massachusetts. This person will have direct reports within their group and will report to one of our client's executives.

Director, Clinical Programs: this opportunity will oversee one or more therapeutic are for our client, located west of Boston. We placed someone in a similar position last December, and now due to the amount of working going on within our client, now have this second opening. This person will report into the Senior Director, Clinical Operations and will have direct reports.

Medical Director, Clinical Development: this opportunity is open due to recent company growth. You will report into the Senior Director, Medical Affairs and will oversee a small Clinical Development team. An MD or DO degree is required as well as Board Certification.

Manager Opportunities:

Clinical Trial Leader: this opportunity is with an outstanding pharmaceutical company in the Boston/Cambridge area. This is probably the best company in our area. We have been growing this group over the last 6 months, and have placed a number of people in similar positions. You will work closely with the MDs/PhDs that are responsible for bringing the compounds into the clinic. There will be minimal travel with this position.

Clinical Trial Manager: this opportunity is based with one of our clients on the south shore of Massachusetts. This person will be working on Phase II and III global oncology trials and will be reporting into the Associate Director, Clinical Operations. This position will not have any direct reports.

Manager, Clinical Affairs: this opportunity is with one of our medical device clients, who will be moving their clinical group to Bedford, MA within the year. This person will be working surgical devices and will not have immediate direct reports. This will be an option down the road though.

Clinical Research Manager: this opportunity will be working on new oncology compounds that have come over due to a purchase by another company within the last year. This group has been growing over the last 6 months or so and will continue to do so in the coming months. This would be a great opportunity for someone at the Sr. CRA level or above.

Associate Opportunities:

Senior CRA: this opportunity will be working with a strong Oncology company in the Cambridge, MA area. This person will report into the Clinical Trial Manager and will be expected to travel up to 40-50%. This is a very strong, growing company with a strong pre-clinical pipeline and a good work/life balance.

Senior CRA: this opportunity is with one of our Medical Device clients in the southern NH area. This person will report into the Clinical Manager and will be expected to travel up to 30% at times. Candidates should have prior experience monitoring medical device trials.
