Vacant job

At Ribocure, we are driven by science and innovation, and our mission is to establish a world-leading company in RNA research and development, ultimately making a positive impact on patients worldwide. We’re now looking for a Patient Recruitment Operational Specialist to join our growing clinical operations team and take the lead in one of the most critical aspects of clinical trial success: connecting the right patients with the right trials.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for the full spectrum of patient recruitment across both our in-house Clinical Trial Unit (CTU) and external trial sites. You’ll propose and drive recruitment strategies, coordinate a dedicated team, and collaborate closely with internal stakeholders, investigators, and external partners to ensure timely, ethical, and effective enrolment.

We're looking for someone with a background in healthcare, such as a licensed nurse, and operational experience within the pharmaceutical or clinical research industry. Just as important is your ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-paced environment where every patient counts.

Patient Recruitment Management

• Oversee and lead the full patient recruitment lifecycle for clinical trials.
• Contribute to and implement recruitment strategies to meet trial enrolment targets.
• Maintain accurate records of recruitment progress and metrics.

Marketing & Outreach

• Coordinate the creation of recruitment materials (digital, print, and social media).
• Represent the company at relevant events.

Team Leadership

• Lead, coordinate and manage the patient recruitment team.
• Foster a collaborative and results-driven team environment.

Follow-Up & Reporting

• Track and report on all recruitment activities and outcomes.
• Ensure timely follow-up with recruitment sources and enrolled patients.
• Provide regular updates to Head of Clinical Operations and Head of Clinical Trial Unit.

What You Bring

• Background in the pharmaceutical, biotech, or clinical research industry (e.g., as a study nurse, CRA or pharmaceutical sales representative), with a strong understanding of collaboration with the healthcare sector.
• Strong leadership and team management skills.
• Excellent communication, contract negotiation, and interpersonal abilities.
• Experience with contracts, marketing strategies and outreach preferred.
• Ability to work collaboratively with diverse stakeholders.
