Clinical Research Manager Job Description

  • Published July 26, 2017
  • Updated May 2, 2024

Clinical research managers hold one of the most critical jobs in the healthcare industry, overseeing all aspects of clinical trials that evaluate new medications and medical devices.

People in these positions carry the responsibility for making sure the trial is conducted under very strict, very specific guidelines.

The job carries a great deal of responsibility. Clinical trials are a vital part of the development of any new medication or medical device, and companies often have their future riding on the outcome. Clinical trial managers not only oversee the trial, but also act as liaison between the trial site and the clinical study sponsor.

It’s a difficult job, but one that can provide a rewarding, stable and often lucrative career.

What Clinical Research Managers Do

When a company develops a new healthcare product, they must meet government regulations before being allowed to sell their product on the market. This means conducting clinical trials that determine whether the product does what its developers say it’s going to do, as well as ensuring that the product is safe for use.

Clinical research managers have a variety of duties associated with such trials. They include:

  • Planning and overseeing the trial
  • Determining whether a product accomplishes the goal for which it was produced
  • Ensuring the product meets all government regulations and standards
  • Managing a team of clinical research associates and specialists
  • Training clinical research team members and evaluating their performance

In addition, clinical research managers communicate with trial sponsors, keeping them updated on progress.

Skills and Education Needed

Working as a clinical research manager requires a mix of skills. They include leadership in guiding the research team, communication skills with both the team and study sponsors, as well as the technical skills needed to successfully plan and execute a clinical trial.

The people in this field come from various backgrounds. They typically have at least a bachelor’s degree in a field related to their clinical work, ranging from biology to life sciences and bioengineering. Attaining the manager position almost always requires a master’s degree or doctorate.

The ability to write study protocols and other research-related documents is key, as is expert-level knowledge in clinical trial practices and regulations. Project management skills also can prove beneficial for clinical research managers, given the complexity of the job and requirement to lead cross-functional teams.

Typically, those who become research managers also have years of experience at lower levels of the operation, including research specialists.

Compare different senior research managers

Senior research manager vs. marketing specialist.

A marketing specialist's primary responsibility revolves around conducting thorough market research and analysis to acquire extensive knowledge and understanding of a brand and how it will work in the consumer market. They must determine and come up with strategies and utilize this to develop various programs or campaigns that would be vital in bringing more awareness to the brand, thus boosting sales and improving client base. Furthermore, a marketing specialist must also use their expertise to figure out new opportunities and trends that will work for the company.

While similarities exist, there are also some differences between senior research managers and marketing specialist. For instance, senior research manager responsibilities require skills such as "data collection," "research studies," "fda," and "data analysis." Whereas a marketing specialist is skilled in "digital marketing," "marketing campaigns," "email marketing," and "customer service." This is part of what separates the two careers.

Senior research manager vs. Marketing department internship

A marketing department internship is a marketing degree program requirement in most colleges. This is the work experience period where interns get to apply the knowledge they acquire in the real world. In this period, marketing interns provide administrative support to the marketing department of the company. The duties may include data entry, preparation of marketing materials, and managing the company's website. Also, interns are tasked to research and collect data, then analyze findings with an experienced marketing representative's supervision.

In addition to the difference in salary, there are some other key differences worth noting. For example, senior research manager responsibilities are more likely to require skills like "project management," "research studies," "fda," and "spss." Meanwhile, a marketing department internship has duties that require skills in areas such as "financial statements," "press releases," "facebook," and "administrative tasks." These differences highlight just how different the day-to-day in each role looks.

Senior research manager vs. Marketing consultant

A marketing consultant is responsible for utilizing their extensive retail expertise to develop strategies on how to strengthen client base and achieve better sales. Furthermore, a marketing consultant must perform research and analysis to determine opportunities for financial gains, devise plans to improve client satisfaction, assess the competition, look out for any risks, and develop its brand and image. They should also ensure that all steps taken adhere to the policies and regulations of the organization.

There are many key differences between these two careers, including some of the skills required to perform responsibilities within each role. For example, a senior research manager is likely to be skilled in "project management," "data collection," "research studies," and "fda," while a typical marketing consultant is skilled in "customer service," "web content," "media sales," and "digital marketing."

Senior research manager vs. Marketing assistant

A marketing assistant's general responsibility is to support the marketing programs and campaigns by sharing recommendations and useful insights to improve the brand's image. Marketing assistants' duties also include reaching out to other personnel for necessary files needed on promotional advertisements, assist the team in creating designs and developing content, publishing brochures for potential clients, analyzing sales reports, and researching the current market trends. A marketing assistant should have excellent organizational and time-management skills to meet deadlines and perform various tasks as required.
