As a recognized research operations expert, the Research Operations Manager (ROM),applies comprehensive knowledge of clinical research protocols and processes to lead the most complex projects of critical impact. The ROM is responsible and accountable for near and long-term operational planning, implementation, and evaluation for all activities associated with assigned network research projects (pre-clinical, clinical, and mechanistic research). Working within a matrix environment, the ROM works closely with functional groups to ensure work for individual projects is uniform, complete, and successfully delivered operationally and financially to achieve the completion on time, within budget and with good quality data. The ROM must be experienced in all phases of the research project lifecycle and possess a thorough understanding of cross-functional research processes including scientific writing, regulatory affairs, recruitment strategies, financial forecasting and planning, data management, and drug safety.
Prior to project development, the ROM participates in strategic discussions and tactical planning regarding design, regulatory, operational, contractual, and financial aspects of research projects. This includes providing an in-depth feasibility analysis for the project which identifies project risks and recommends strategies for project development, regulatory requirements, and efficient study implementation and conduct, financial and resource management, and timelines.
During development, the ROM provides matrix management of functional area representatives in a virtual environment and must establish working relationships with key opinion leaders (KOLs), medical staff, clinical scientists, regulatory officers, data managers and biostatisticians to support development activities. The ROM is responsible for strategic and tactical planning, organization and direction and must have the ability to make high level decisions with minimal input from management.
During conduct, the ROM oversees all aspects of study-related activities, monitors investigative sites, establishes and maintains metrics to monitor trial progress, prepares detailed status reports, and follows up with the project team and ITN leadership to determine appropriate actions. They are accountable for managing the study budget, ensuring the project remains within scope, and that any out of scope activities are identified and handled appropriately. The ROM also oversees adherence to pertinent regulations through review of monitoring reports, QA-GCP audit reports, communications with investigators, regulatory affairs, and external stakeholders.
During Analysis, the ROM is responsible for instituting data cleaning activities, managing the timeline for data review and analysis. This requires a proficient understanding of the various methodologies and strategies involved with highly complex quantitative and qualitative data analysis and the ability to interpret sophisticated data sets.
Decisions made by the ROM have the potential to have significant long-lasting operational and fiscal ramifications for projects, network collaborations, the ITN, and the University. Errors, oversights, or lack of planning at this level may result in loss of funding to the ITN, University and other collaborating academic institutions. Mistakes can result in critical delays and increased costs which can jeopardize the project.
