• Utilize standard and corporate specific Risk Assessment and Categorization Tools (RACT) to identify critical data and processes, identify study risks, both operational and execution, evaluate risks and propose study specific controls/mitigations to eliminate, avoid, and/or monitor occurrence of issues.• Develop cross functional quality management systems / monitoring strategies proportionate to the risks identified and the criticality of the information collected based on human subject safety risks and objectives of specific study protocols. • Propose and consult as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) with clinical operation teams to implement risk-based monitoring strategies that are rooted in logic, systematic in nature, and focused on study specific risks. Guide clinical study team to document the plans for monitoring source at the investigative site (on-site) and collected data centrally/remotely with contingencies for emerging issues and flexibility based on investigative site performance.• Advise and collaborate to program and configure study specific analytics to surface data, compliance, and safety issues.• Contribute to and drive corporate initiatives and process improvements by analysing current processes and operations, obtaining input from end users, and implementing change management plans to further the implementation of a risk-based approach to trial design and quality management as per ICH E6(R2) and E8(R1) guidelines.• Support Business Development and Proposals by conducting initial risk assessments and proposing project management and clinical operations monitoring strategies based on limited study plan information.

- Pilot and direct the completion of a robust protocol or portfolio risk assessment, which aligns with ICH/GCP E6 (R2) and utilizes a Risk Assessment and Categorization Tool (RACT). - Promote discussions and inspire critical thinking related to the execution of the study protocol. To develop and implement an integrated Quality Management System or a Risk Based Quality Management plan. - Propose or advise on developing a 'best fit' monitoring strategy based on study needs and identified risks, introducing various centralized monitoring methods, de-centralized trial tools (DCT), and digital health technologies (DHT) in conjunction with traditional monitoring activities.- Steer the development of Quality Tolerance Limit (QTL) monitoring plans to identify systemic errors and adjust strategies to affect change if required. - Engage with cross-functional leads to understand complex indications and risks to the execution of the study protocol. Guide team members to focus on mitigative measures available within their functionality and the scope of work to eliminate, avoid, or reduce the risks related to critical data collection and human safety. Coach and mentor peers on risk assessment methodology and monitoring strategy elements used to ensure high-quality data, reliable analysis, and safety to human subjects. - Collaborate with functional team members in the engineering of study plans ensuring consistency within programs, therapeutic areas, and sponsors within the study scope of work, budget, and protocol content.- Counsel Project Management and Functional Leads on emerging risks, provide analysis, and propose response strategies. Conduct risk re-reviews to determine the level of risk control the mitigative measures offer and suggest further control.
