Full Job Description
### About RDI RDI is an IVD-focused contract research organization. Since 2008 we've run 300+ diagnostic trials for the largest test makers in the world. Our clinical operations team is sharp, motivated, and runs its own workload well — what they need now is someone to raise the ceiling on monitoring craft. ### About the role This is a senior clinical monitor who teaches. You'll own RDI's clinical-monitoring standard, level up the team by reviewing their real work alongside them, and serve as the senior point of judgment for the hardest monitoring questions. It's a player-coach role — you keep a small live caseload (~25–35%) so your craft stays current and credible, and you spend the rest of your time making everyone around you better. **This role requires 3–4 hours of daily overlap with our offshore team UTC+8** (typically early US Pacific morning or late evening). That's the single biggest fit question — confirm it works before you apply. The deliverable isn't visits monitored. It's a team that monitors at a higher standard and operates more independently because of you — and a written, company-owned rubric that outlasts any single study. ### What you'll do * **Own the monitoring standard.** Build and maintain a living rubric and a library of "what good looks like" — query handling, deviation management, source data review, protocol-compliance judgment — usable in real reviews, not a binder that gets shelved. * **Teach through real work.** Review the team's monitoring side-by-side against the rubric. Most growth happens working through actual files together, not in lectures. * **Be the senior escalation point.** Take on the judgment-heavy monitoring problems above the team's current level, and help the team escalate well — early, scoped, and prepared. * **Keep a live caseload (~25–35%).** Stay hands-on so your craft stays current. * **Build for independence.** Success is the team needing you _less_ over time on competencies you've transferred, so you can move to t
