Cheddleton, England, United Kingdom
A highly experienced Clinical Trial Project Manager with extensive expertise in leading global oncology clinical trials within the pharmaceutical industry. I have a proven track record of managing complex international projects, overseeing budgets, mitigating risks, coordinating cross-functional internal and external resources, and delivering studies to demanding timelines while maintaining the highest standards of quality and regulatory compliance. With a strong academic foundation in biochemistry and cell biology, I began my career in research and academia before progressing into commercial laboratories, clinical development and trial management. This diverse background has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the scientific, operational, and regulatory aspects of drug development. Over the past decade, I have built significant leadership, training, and project management experience, developing high-performing teams across a wide range of disciplines and seniority levels. My roles have included Laboratory Manager, Health & Safety Coordinator, and Training Lead, where I managed laboratory operations of up to 80 staff while driving operational excellence, regulatory compliance, and continuous professional development. I have also led global learning and development initiatives across a large multinational organisation operating to ISO 15189 and CLIA accreditation standards. Most recently, I have worked closely with international teams of scientists, physicians, sponsors, and clinical stakeholders to support pharmaceutical companies throughout the clinical trial lifecycle, particularly in diagnostics and precision medicine. My expertise spans clinical development, study delivery and patient safety, underpinned by a collaborative leadership style, strong stakeholder management skills, and a commitment to delivering successful outcomes in complex, global clinical programmes.
