About the Role

This senior position within RGEA works alongside other RGEA Leads and is focussed on leading an operationally effective and expert service for clinical research sponsorship activities on behalf of the University of Oxford, including sponsorship review and authorisation, on-going oversight of compliance and providing support, guidance and training for academics, researchers, and research support professionals.
You will work closely with researchers, research support staff and administrators across the University, including University departments and Clinical Trials Units, and with colleagues in the Joint Research Office, and external organisations (including the Health Research Authority (HRA), NHS RECs and the MHRA), to ensure that the University complies with applicable regulations and guidelines, whilst minimising the bureaucratic burden on researchers.

You will also have a positive attitude, be an exceptional line manager with an adaptable approach to your work, think innovatively when responding to changes in the clinical research governance landscape, and be comfortable when priorities suddenly need to change.
RGEA works as an open, collaborative team, so an enthusiasm and ability to lead with others as a team player, to contribute to collective leadership, planning, and continuous improvement of the department overall, and actively championing our values and commitments will be essential.
