Sound familiar?

You are an excellent Senior CRA.
But the glass ceiling is real.

You are an experienced Senior CRA. Your sites respect you, your local team trust you, you have been delivering for years. But the step into study leadership — Clinical Trial Manager, Study Manager, Local Study Manager — keeps going to other people. You cannot see what they have that you don't.

"I've applied for CTM and Study Manager roles but keep getting rejected without real feedback."

"I don't know what actually separates a Senior CRA from a Study Manager in the eyes of a hiring panel."

"I'm already running studies informally but the title and salary haven't followed."

"I don't know how to present myself as a leader — not just a highly competent CRA."

The Programme

Up to 8 weeks. Weekly sessions.
One clear outcome.

Questions

Frequently asked

Yes — because the programme is focused on one outcome. We work backwards from the specific CTM or Study Manager role you are targeting and build everything around that. Most clients are actively interviewing within weeks of completing the programme. Some complete in 6 sessions, others need the full 8 — your coach sets the pace based on your progress.

Yes — this is designed for working Senior CRAs. Sessions are weekly, 60 minutes each, scheduled around your monitoring calendar. Most clients fit sessions around site visits and travel. WhatsApp support means you can get quick answers between sessions without waiting.

Not at all. We can work on live applications from week one. Having coaching support during an active job search often makes the difference — you'll interview with far more clarity and confidence.

Not at all — the programme is tailored to your specific target role. In the leadership readiness audit in weeks 1–2, we identify exactly which pathway fits your background and goals, and every session is built around that target from there.

You get 6 months free access to CR Edge Alumni resources — continued access to your programme materials and all new resources added to the CR Edge library during your membership period. After that you can choose to continue at £27/month.
