- Waterbury, CT, USA
- Permanent
We're looking for a driven, hands-on Recruitment Manager to lead patient recruitment operations and drive consistent, high-quality enrollment across a portfolio of clinical trials. This role blends direct patient engagement, team leadership, marketing oversight, and data-driven performance management — ideal for someone who thrives on ownership and applies structured thinking in a fast-moving, multi-study environment.
What You'll Do
Recruitment Operations
- Own recruitment activity across all active trials, ensuring enrollment volume, protocol compliance, and visit readiness
- Conduct direct patient recruitment via phone, text, and email — screening for eligibility and guiding patients from first contact through enrollment
- Maintain accurate CTMS documentation and keep sponsor/CRO recruitment portals current
Team Leadership
- Lead and coach a team of Patient Recruitment Specialists, building a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
- Set individual goals, conduct performance reviews, and provide ongoing feedback
- Interview, hire, and train new team members
Reporting & Analytics
- Track and report recruitment KPIs weekly at recruiter, protocol, and indication level
- Monitor campaign effectiveness — cost-per-randomization, screen fail rates, yield by source
- Use data to drive ongoing enrollment optimization
Marketing & Campaigns
- Develop and execute per-protocol advertising campaigns independently and with outside vendors
- Own the recruitment advertising budget, allocating spend for maximum ROI
- Secure IRB approval for all patient-facing materials and keep site/trial web pages current
- Maintain a social media content calendar to sustain patient engagement
Compliance
- Operate in accordance with GCP, protocol requirements, and applicable regulatory standards
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree preferred (health-related field a plus); equivalent experience considered
- Prior experience in a clinical research environment strongly preferred
- Proven people leadership — experience managing, coaching, and holding a team accountable to KPIs (individual-contributor-only recruitment experience is not a fit)
- Comfort engaging directly with senior clinical stakeholders (medical directors, heads of clinical operations)
- Digital/print marketing or social media experience a plus
- Proficiency with CRM platforms (HubSpot, Salesforce) and CTMS systems
- Strong project management, communication, and interpersonal skills
- Working knowledge of clinical trial processes, disease states, and GCP principles
Why Join Us
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- HSA/FSA options
- Company-paid life and disability insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- PTO and paid holidays
- Employee Assistance Program
