Make an Impact as a Principal Site Specialist at Worldwide

Take ownership of complex site contract and budget negotiations, helping clinical trial agreements move efficiently from initial drafting through final execution. In this role, you’ll bring deep contracting expertise to resolve challenges, manage risk, and balance site expectations with study requirements.

You’ll serve as a subject matter expert for Clinical Trial Agreement processes, collaborating with internal and external stakeholders while providing guidance on contracting strategies, budgets, timelines, and risks.

As a senior member of the team, you’ll also support colleagues through mentoring, lead selected contracting activities, and contribute to process improvements, SOP development, and contract template updates.

Where You'll Work

This is a remote role open to candidates based in Spain. You will collaborate with global teams across multiple time zones.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the preparation, negotiation, review, and finalization of Clinical Trial Agreements, associated documents, and site budgets.
  • Act as a subject matter expert on country- and site-level contracting processes, providing guidance on contracting strategies, timelines, and requirements.
  • Review study budgets and site costs, identify potential revisions, and support the development and coordination of country budgets and contract and budget plans.
  • Resolve complex negotiation issues, escalate requests outside approved parameters, identify contracting risks, and develop practical mitigation strategies.
  • Perform quality reviews of contracts and budgets, facilitate the signature process, and ensure completed agreements are distributed to relevant stakeholders and systems.
  • Partner effectively with sites, investigators, and Worldwide stakeholders, including legal, finance, data protection, clinical operations, and Site Contract Leads.
  • Maintain accurate, real-time contract tracking while managing competing priorities, urgent requests, and multiple site agreements.
  • Lead selected project-level activities, including oversight of investigator grant budgets, TMF structure reviews, site agreement processes, and communication of contracting strategies and timelines.
  • Mentor and support team members while contributing to SOPs, contract templates, and continuous improvement of site contracting processes.

What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in business administration, finance, law, science, or a related field, together with 3–4 years of experience as a Senior Site Contracts Specialist or a minimum of 5 years of site contracting experience within the clinical research, pharmaceutical, or CRO industry.
  • Excellent verbal and written English proficiency.
  • Expert contract negotiation skills, including the ability to resolve complex issues, manage disputes, and balance organizational requirements with site expectations.
  • Strong knowledge of ICH and GCP guidelines, applicable local clinical trial legislation and regulatory requirements, and broader biopharmaceutical/CRO industry requirements.
  • Strong understanding of clinical trial budgets, financial principles, contract terminology, and risk identification and mitigation.
  • Demonstrated leadership, collaboration, problem-solving, analytical, organizational, and time-management skills, including the ability to mentor colleagues and work effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • High attention to detail and accuracy when drafting and reviewing contracts, budgets, and related documentation while managing multiple agreements and deadlines.
  • Proficiency with MS Word, Excel, Outlook, and contract management tools.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
