Experience Required

Candidates should have at least 5 years of experience in the Clinical Data Management domain, preferably within a pharmaceutical company or Contract Research Organization (CRO).

Applicants should have practical exposure to clinical data management processes rather than only theoretical knowledge of CDM.

As a Data Coordinator at Sun Pharma, the selected candidate will support clinical data management activities throughout the clinical trial lifecycle.

Key responsibilities include:

• Prepare and review clinical trial start-up documents.
• Prepare eCRF Completion Guidelines.

• Support filing and quality control activities associated with audit- and inspection-ready documentation.

Clinical Data Review and Query Management

An important responsibility of the Data Coordinator is ensuring that clinical trial data is accurate, consistent and appropriately reviewed.

For example, if a clinical study permits participants between 18 and 65 years of age but an age outside the permitted range is entered, an appropriate validation rule may generate a query. The Data Coordinator reviews whether discrepancies and queries are being identified and managed correctly according to study requirements.

This makes knowledge of clinical data cleaning, edit checks, discrepancy management and clinical data query management particularly important for the position.

Key Skills Required

Candidates should have strong working knowledge of:

Clinical Data Management (CDM), Data Management Plan (DMP), eCRF, CDMS, Edit Check UAT, Screen UAT, Edit Specifications, Clinical Data Validation, Data Cleaning, Discrepancy Management, Clinical Data Query Management, SAE Reconciliation, Clinical Coding, Database Lock, IWRS, URS Review, Master Data Management and clinical trial documentation.

Experience developing data management documents and validation plans is particularly relevant.
