Principal Feasibility Analyst

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Principal Feasibility Analyst based in Canada.

We are seeking an experienced Principal Feasibility Analyst to lead clinical trial feasibility strategies and support the successful delivery of complex clinical research programs, particularly in rare diseases. In this role, you will transform clinical, operational, site, and enrollment data into actionable insights that guide study planning and accelerate clinical trial execution. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to assess patient populations, evaluate site capabilities, forecast recruitment potential, and identify risks that could affect study timelines. Your expertise will help shape site selection, enrollment strategies, and critical operational decisions across multiple studies and therapeutic areas. You will also contribute to program-level feasibility planning, mentor junior colleagues, and promote best practices across the feasibility function. This opportunity offers a collaborative, sponsor-dedicated environment where analytical excellence and strategic thinking contribute to the development of innovative treatments. The position is remote, with responsibilities spanning complex studies and potentially broader disease-area programs.

Take ownership of program-level feasibility activities for designated therapeutic areas when required, overseeing feasibility planning across multiple studies while maintaining study-level responsibilities.
Collect, analyze, and synthesize feasibility, operational, clinical, and enrollment data from internal and external sources to develop a comprehensive understanding of therapeutic areas, standards of care, disease progression, patient populations, site capabilities, and competitive landscapes.
Evaluate the clinical trial environment and apply advanced data analysis, data mining, enrollment modeling, and forecasting techniques to develop realistic recruitment assumptions and study timelines.
Identify potential enrollment challenges, operational risks, and site feasibility concerns, translating findings into actionable recommendations that support trial optimization and study acceleration.
Adapt feasibility approaches to evolving study requirements, changing inputs, competing priorities, and tight deadlines while maintaining analytical rigor and the quality of deliverables.
Partner with cross-functional study teams to communicate feasibility assumptions, findings, risks, and recommendations that inform study design, site selection, recruitment planning, and enrollment strategies.
Prepare and deliver data-driven presentations to project teams, stakeholders, and governance forums, clearly explaining analytical conclusions and responding to questions from senior leadership when required.
Apply clinical research expertise and sound operational judgement to anticipate challenges, resolve feasibility-related issues, and support effective study execution.
Mentor and guide junior feasibility team members, sharing analytical expertise, promoting consistent methodologies, and strengthening the quality of feasibility deliverables.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of feasibility processes, analytical tools, forecasting methodologies, and operational best practices.
Share study-level insights and lessons learned to inform broader program strategies and improve feasibility approaches across the organization.
