Establish and maintain clear start‑up timelines, metrics, and dashboards; proactively identify risks to activation timelines and drive mitigation plans to achieve first‑patient‑in (FPI) and enrollment targets. Provide oversight of country‑ and site‑level regulatory and ethics submissions (e.g., IRB/EC/HA), ensuring consistency with global strategy and local regulatory requirements. Ensure quality, completeness, and inspection readiness of start‑up documentation, including Trial Master File (TMF) content and country‑level start‑up records, in accordance with GCP and internal SOPs. Partner with Clinical Research Organization(s) to oversee site contract and budget negotiations, ensuring alignment with approved study budgets and timely execution to support activation timelines. Serve as the primary escalation point for complex start‑up challenges, including site readiness or performance risks, regulatory delays or vendor issues; communicate status and resolution plans to senior leadership. Contribute to portfolio‑level planning by providing start‑up insights and recommendations to inform study design, country strategy, resourcing, and feasibility assumptions. Develop and maintain study start‑up processes, systems, and tools to reduce cycle times, improve quality, and enhance predictability of start‑up delivery. Ensure start‑up activities are conducted in compliance with global regulations, internal policies, and company quality standards, maintaining a strong focus on patient
