Site Contract Leader

When our values align, there's no limit to what we can achieve.

At Parexel, we all share the same goal - to improve the world's health. From clinical trials to regulatory, consulting, and market access, every clinical development solution we provide is underpinned by something special - a deep conviction in what we do.

Each of us, no matter what we do at Parexel, contributes to the development of a therapy that ultimately will benefit a patient. We take our work personally, we do it with empathy and we're committed to making a difference.

At Parexel, we are a leading Clinical Research Organization (CRO) dedicated to delivering life‑changing medicines to patients around the world. We are seeking a Site Contract Leader to join our global Clinical Operations organization. This home‑based role can be located in Argentina, Brazil, or Mexico and plays a critical client‑facing leadership role within complex, global clinical trials.

As a Site Contract Leader, you will act as the primary point of accountability for sponsor engagement and site contracting strategy on assigned projects. You will partner closely with sponsors, project leadership, and global site contract teams to drive efficient negotiations, manage budgets, mitigate risk, and ensure alignment to protocol and study objectives—always keeping quality, timelines, and relationships at the forefront.

We’re looking for a confident, client‑savvy leader who thrives in complex, fast‑paced clinical trial environments:

• Strong client relationship and stakeholder management skills

• Comfortable leading strategy discussions with sponsors

• Sound judgment and ability to influence without authority

• Highly organized, proactive, and detail‑oriented

• Collaborative, resilient, and diplomatic under pressure

• Lead the end‑to‑end site contracting strategy and execution for global clinical trials

• Act as the primary contracting interface with sponsors, including attending sponsor calls across multiple time zones

• Oversee and guide project‑assigned Site Contracts teams, providing leadership, direction, and escalation support

• Lead investigator budget development and assessment (not template‑driven), ensuring alignment with protocol, country practices, and sponsor expectations

• Strong Excel expertise is critical, including experience with budget formulas and financial analysis

• Requires global clinical trial experience and confidence navigating multinational contracting landscapes

• 3–5 years of experience in site contracting or a closely related CRO role

• Demonstrated experience managing timelines, budgets, and external client relationships

• Strong negotiation skills and ability to interpret and explain complex contract

• Advanced proficiency in MS Excel;

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field (law, business, economics, social sciences) or equivalent industry experience

Be part of global studies that are shaping the future of healthcare. At Parexel, you’ll work with industry experts, enjoy flexibility through home‑based work, and access continuous learning and career growth opportunities—while making a meaningful impact on patients’ lives.

At Parexel, we embrace flexibility and value collaboration, innovation, and inclusion. If this role sounds like your next career move—or someone you know would be a great fit—we’d love to hear from you.
