**Manager, Global Clinical Solutions**

Global Clinical Solutions (GCS) drives the delivery of services and technology for AstraZeneca for its internal and external stakeholders.

The Manager, GCS supports teams to improve process effectiveness and performance in operational processes/procedures within the department, as well as providing support and guidance in the development of processes owned by Global Clinical Solutions.

OLOS is a role based in Global Clinical Solutions (GCS), that provides oversight of IRT (RTSM) and DPS systems in AZ outsourced studies. This role does not provide regular support on a study level (except validation, activities listed in eCOAPlus RACI), but is involved in oversight activities across the portfolio (both Late and Early phase studies). IRT (RTSM) and DPS study-level oversight is provided by AZ Study Oversight Lead.

As majority of system-related activities are delegated to a CRO, AZ as a sponsor of a study, remains accountable for the delivery of these responsibilities in accordance with all laws and regulations. Therefore, it is mandatory that AZ ensures oversight of tasks and activities that have been delegated to these clinical suppliers, and that quality has been maintained at all times.

**Typical accountabilities**:

The specific oversight details might vary per each CRO and would include (but not limited to):

- Being primary escalation point of contact for IRT (RTSM) and DPS (for scale and test/start solutions) Detailed escalation pathways are described in IRT (RTSM) escalation pathway document, located on R&D portal. DPS escalation pathway is currently being developed
- Oversight of CRO’s performance within IRT (RTSM) and DPS area (for SOLIS according to the RACI matrix, located on SOLIS R&D portal) in cooperation with Alliance Management
- Support with the creation & maintenance of SOLIS process documentation (ex. RACI matrix, guidance document, training slides)
- Providing advice for study teams (both within IRT (RTSM) and DPS) for scale solutions
- Support with the oversight of quality issues across the CROs responsible for delivery of IRT and DPS
- Ad-hoc support with IRT (RTSM) and DPS contracting of AZ-preferred vendors (for scale solutions)
- Review of final validation / User Acceptance Testing (UAT) documentation (risk-based approach to review) for scale solutions

**Education, qualifications, skills and experience**:
**Essential**:

- University degree in related discipline, preferably in biological science or healthcare-related fields, such as medicine, nursing, or equivalent experience
- previous experience in working with IRT and/or DPS systems
- ability to work collaboratively; proven organizational and analytical skills and proven skills to deliver to time, cost and quality
