Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering for clinicians who want a foot in the CRO/clinical research door and are comfortable with detail-heavy, dictionary-driven coding work. The empty posting means you should request the full job description and confirm location, level expectations, and pay before investing time.
Who should apply
Nurses, pharmacists, IMGs, and healthcare graduates with strong medical terminology and pharmacology knowledge who want a non-patient-facing entry point into clinical research data operations; also suited to clinicians seeking remote-friendly, structured work.
CV angle
Reframe clinical experience around terminology fluency, adverse event and medication knowledge, and documentation accuracy: highlight any experience reviewing charts, transcribing or abstracting clinical information, applying coding or classification systems, working in EDC/CTMS or electronic health records, and maintaining data quality under ICH-GCP or similar standards. Quantify volume and accuracy where possible (e.g., records reviewed, error rates, audit outcomes).
Skills to highlight
- Medical terminology and pharmacology
- Adverse event and medication coding concepts (MedDRA, WHO Drug)
- Clinical documentation review and abstraction
- Attention to detail and data accuracy
- ICH-GCP and regulatory awareness
- EDC / clinical trial database familiarity
- Working to timelines in a CRO or sponsor environment
Role summary
A clinical data coder at a large CRO codes adverse events, medical history, and concomitant medications from clinical trial data into standardized dictionaries such as MedDRA and WHO Drug, supporting data cleaning and database lock. The work is desk-based, detail-intensive, and does not involve patient contact.
