About the Role:
On behalf of a leading APAC-based Contract Research Organization (CRO), BioTalent is seeking an experienced Oncology Medical Monitor for a remote, US-based position. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to ground-breaking oncology trials conducted across APAC and global regions. If you are a medical professional with extensive experience in oncology and a passion for advancing clinical research, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Act as the medical expert for ongoing oncology clinical trials, providing medical oversight and ensuring compliance with protocols, ethical standards, and regulatory requirements.
  • Serve as the primary medical liaison for investigators, site staff, and internal clinical teams, addressing medical queries and offering expert guidance.
  • Monitor and evaluate safety data, including adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and protocol deviations, ensuring patient safety and data integrity.
  • Contribute to the development and review of essential trial documents, such as protocols, investigator brochures, informed consent forms, and study reports.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including clinical operations, pharmacovigilance, and regulatory affairs, to support trial success.
  • Participate in investigator meetings, site initiation visits, and other study-related activities.
  • Analyze clinical trial data for safety trends and efficacy signals to guide decision-making.
  • Support Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) and Ethics Committee activities as needed.
  • Ensure compliance with global and APAC-specific regulatory standards, including ICH-GCP, FDA, and EMA guidelines.

Candidate Profile:
We are looking for candidates who are not only technically qualified but also possess strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a global and remote environment.

Qualifications:

  • Education: MD or equivalent medical degree, with board certification or specialization in oncology preferred.
  • Experience: At least 5 years of clinical or industry experience in oncology, including 2+ years in medical monitoring or drug development roles.
  • Monitors who have practiced medicine in the US 
  • Strong understanding of oncology therapeutic areas, including solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, or immuno-oncology.
  • Familiarity with global clinical trial operations, particularly in the APAC region, is a significant advantage.
  • In-depth knowledge of regulatory requirements (FDA, EMA, ICH-GCP).
  • Exceptional problem-solving, decision-making, and organizational skills.

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with immuno-oncology or biomarker-driven studies.
  • Previous involvement with APAC-based CROs or sponsors.
  • Proficiency in electronic data capture (EDC) systems and safety reporting tools.
