Benefits

    Make a Measurable Difference Every Day

    As a Clinical Research Coordinator at Alianza Health Partners, you are the operational backbone of studies that bring novel therapies and medical innovation directly to patients across Puerto Rico. Your work translates regulatory rigor into real participant experiences, including the screening call that explains a trial in a patient’s preferred language, the consent conversation that respects their autonomy, and the meticulous documentation that gives sponsors confidence in the data we generate together.

    Your Role in the Alianza Model

    Alianza’s Clinical Research Organization sits inside a bilingual, technology-enabled primary care network, an unusually integrated environment for research. You will work alongside physicians who already know the participants, supported by EMR/EHR data and a centralized coordination team. Studies move faster here because the infrastructure for recruitment, scheduling, and follow-up already exists. What you bring is the GCP discipline, sponsor-facing professionalism, and on-the-ground coordination that turn that infrastructure into successfully executed trials.

    Island-Wide Reach

    This role is San Juan-based with approximately 30% travel across Puerto Rico, supporting Alianza clinics and affiliated partner sites. You will become deeply familiar with the operational rhythm of multi-site research on the island and play a direct role in expanding which communities have access to clinical trials.

    Grow With Us

    Alianza is investing aggressively in clinical research as a pillar of its value-based care model. Coordinators who demonstrate strong performance have pathways into lead coordinator roles, regulatory affairs, and research operations leadership as our CRO footprint expands across the Americas. We support continuing education, certification (CCRC, CCRP), and professional development for our research team.
