Site Feasibility Liaison

The Site Feasibility Liaison is a key role for the delivery of Parexel studies. Site selection is challenging but is the cornerstone of more predictable recruitment. Better site selection requires excellent working relationships with institutions, investigators and research teams and better data organization to improve efficiency and knowledge.

The Site Feasibility Liaison will build effective relationships with Investigators and research sites and will champion Parexel within their region. The Site Feasibility Liaison will be a local clinical expert to represent their country/region. They will be advocates for their region to ensure it is included in the Parexel portfolio and support new business opportunities by helping to gather critical data to support client meetings or deliverables. They will be experts in terms of local infrastructure, standards of care, healthcare trends and guidelines.

The Site Feasibility Liaison, in conjunction with site intelligence and site alliance teams, will work to improve the knowledge that we have on clinical research teams and facilities. This will include owning the quality of information within the new Parexel Investigator Intelligence Platform that pertains to their country, region or therapeutic area.

This is a dedicated role within the Global Feasibility team and is part of our Global Feasibility Network.
