Clinical Risk Analyst Manager (Telangana)

Role Description: The Clinical Risk Analyst is responsible for generating and translating study-level risk insights to enable proactive, data-driven decision-making across the conduct of clinical trials. This role is a key driver of Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM), leveraging centralized monitoring, analytics, and cross-functional data sources to identify, assess, and mitigate risks to patient safety, data integrity, and study delivery. Working closely with Study Delivery Teams, Central Monitors, and cross-functional stakeholders, the Clinical Risk Analyst leads structured risk review processes, ensuring that risks are identified early, understood in clinical and operational context, and addressed through clear, actionable mitigation strategies. The role plays a critical part in connecting study-level risk signals to broader program and portfolio risk perspectives, maintaining a strong partnership with Associate Directors of Risk Management to ensure visibility, alignment, and aggregation of emerging trends. Through this, the Clinical Risk Analyst contributes to continuous improvement of risk models, monitoring approaches, and overall study execution quality. Roles Responsibilities: - Lead centralized monitoring reviews using platforms such as CluePoints to drive risk identification, signal detection, trend analysis, and structured decision-making across assigned studies. - Define, implement, and continuously refine Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and Quality Tolerance Limits (QTLs), including thresholds, triggers, and escalation pathways aligned to study critical-to-quality factors. - Provide expert input into Study Risk Assessments (SRA) during study start-up and contribute to the development of risk review strategies within the Integrated Data Review Plan (IDRP). - Critically evaluate centralized monitoring outputs to distinguish true risk signals from noise, incorporating clinical and operational context to identify root causes and recommend appropriate mitigation actions. - Integrate insights from Central Monitors and cross-functional data sources to develop a consolidated and continuously evolving view of study risk. - Drive accountability for risk mitigation by ensuring actions are clearly defined, tracked, and followed through to resolution in collaboration with Study Delivery Managers and cross-functional stakeholders. - Support Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for significant or recurring risks and assess the effectiveness of mitigation actions to support corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). - Own and communicate the evolving study risk narrative, including key trends, impacts, and mitigation effectiveness, to Study Delivery Teams, Functional Leadership, Process Owners, and Associate Directors of Risk Management. - Establish strong alignment with Associate Directors of Risk Management to ensure study-level risk insights are visible, contextualized, and contribute to program and portfolio-level risk oversight and trend management. - Support aggregation of study-level risk signals into broader risk perspectives by providing structured summaries, trend analyses, and escalation insights to enable effective program and portfolio risk management. - Continuously optimize KRIs, QTLs, and monitoring approaches to improve predictive value, operational relevance, and overall RBQM effectiveness. - Ensure accurate documentation and traceability of signals, decisions, and actions within the central monitoring platform and applicable systems (e.g., Signal and Action Tracker, TMF). - Provide quality oversight of centralized monitoring outputs generated by Central Monitors, applying a sampling and QC approach to ensure consistency, accuracy, and robustness of analyses. Basic Qualifications and Experience: - Bachelors degree and 8+ years of directly related experience Preferred Experience: - 5 years of directly related experience in life sciences or medically related field, including 3 years of biopharmaceutical clinical research experience obtained working on clinical trials in a biotech, pharmaceutical or CRO company - Hands on experience working in global clinical trial teams (phase 1-3 interventional trials) across multiple geographies - Direct experience with Risk-Based Quality Management, centralized monitoring, risk-based monitoring, or data-driven clinical trial oversight approaches. - Experience reviewing, interpreting, or acting on KRIs, QTLs, centralized statistical monitoring outputs, site risk signals, monitoring trends, quality signals, operational metrics, protocol deviations, issues, or study-level risk indicators. - Experience using CluePoints or another centralized monitoring/RBQM platform, preferably in a risk reviewer, risk coordinator, central monitor, signal reviewer, or study risk oversight role. - Experience facilitating or actively contributing to cross-functional risk review meetings, including partnership with Clinical Operations, Data Management, Quality, Medical, Safety .
