Are you ready to step into a role where legal precision meets real‑world impact? As a Site Contract Associate, you’ll be the driving force behind the agreements that make clinical trials possible. If you thrive on negotiation, communication, and keeping complex processes running smoothly, this is your chance to shine.
This is a homebased role but you must be living in Serbia.
What You’ll DoYou’ll become the go‑to expert for site agreements, ensuring every contract supports the success of clinical trials across your region. Your responsibilities will include:
Drafting & negotiating contracts — clinical study agreements, service agreements, team member agreements, and related documents.
Interpreting site feedback within local legal and business frameworks to guide internal decision‑makers.
Ensuring compliance with ICH‑GCP, local laws, and internal guidelines.
Acting as the communication hub between internal teams, site staff, and external partners.
Managing the full contract lifecycle — from first draft to final signature and archival.
Building strong relationships with clinical trial sites and internal stakeholders.
Spotting risks early and collaborating with the Site Contract Lead to resolve them.
Tracking progress in real time and keeping teams informed.
Driving process improvements to make contracting faster, clearer, and more efficient.
You’ll excel in this role if you have:
Strong negotiation skills and the diplomacy to navigate complex conversations.
Fluency in English, Polish and any additional language.
Excellent written and verbal communication.
A talent for problem‑solving and analytical thinking.
The ability to work confidently in a virtual, global team.
Grace under pressure and a polished, professional presence.
A sharp eye for detail and a commitment to quality.
Solid proficiency in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
Bachelor’s degree in law, economics, business, social sciences, or a related field.
No prior industry experience required for Level I.
Level II requires experience in Life Sciences.
Every clinical trial depends on clear, compliant, and timely agreements. As an SCA, you’ll help ensure research teams can focus on what matters most: bringing new treatments to patients who need them.
