The Opportunity
This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of clinical research, data, and real-world impact.
As the Senior Research Coordinator, you will play a central role in delivering the nationally significant Connect‐TBI project, a major initiative building a long‐term data asset to improve outcomes for people with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury.
Based within the Pre‐hospital, Emergency and Trauma (PET) Research Unit at our St Kilda Road Campus, you will work alongside leading clinicians, researchers, and health system partners across Australia. You will coordinate complex research activities, support governance and ethics processes, and ensure the seamless delivery of multi‐site data collection and analysis.
This is a hands‐on, high‐impact role suited to someone who can translate strategy into execution, bring structure to complex projects, and confidently engage with senior stakeholders across clinical, academic and government environments.

* Lead day‐to‐day project operations, including multicentre data collection, data management and quality assurance
* Support and contribute to ethics submissions, governance documentation, grant applications and reporting
* Work closely with investigators and partners to drive collaboration across clinical sites and institutions
* Contribute to the development of digital tools, research outputs, publications and project materials
* Identify risks, inefficiencies and data issues, and implement practical, scalable solutions
* Maintain contemporary knowledge of clinical research methodologies, data systems and informatics practices
About You

You bring:
* Demonstrated experience coordinating clinical research projects, trials, or large‐scale data initiatives
