Sponsor Project Manager

CRIO (Clinical Research IO) is a health tech company helping pharma, biotech, research sites, and academic research centers streamline regulatory workflows with one system and a single source of clinical data capture. Our modules allow sites to capture data electronically in real-time, providing data managers and monitors with enhanced transparency, and enabling remote monitoring by sponsors and CROs.


CRIO’s eSource and CTMS system is a leading, modern, enterprise platform built for clinical research sites. Since CRIO’s launch in 2016, CRIO has established the leading brand position in eSource and has won close to 50% of the emerging class of enterprise-grade site networks, many of whom are backed by institutional investors such as VC, PE and corporations. CRIO has achieved the attached metrics, all with little to no serious outbound sales or marketing.

CRIO has historically sold a full-stack solution to clinical research sites, the centerpiece of which is the industry’s leading eSource solution. CRIO’s built-in client site network now spans 2000 sites worldwide, and on some trials CRIO’s sites comprise as much as 30% of the U.S. sites on the trial. These sites are high-enrolling, tech-forward sites who use CRIO intensively across their core processes. With this large site network and a proven direct data capture solution in place that reduces protocol deviations by 40% and audit risk by 70%, CRIO has delivered quality and efficiency gains on thousands of trials. Recently, CRIO developed and launched a separate application called Reviewer that aggregates anonymized study level data captured in eSource for sponsor/CRO review. This process enables immediate, continuous (not periodic), remote and centralized monitoring across the study, and eliminates the need for (a) site entry into the EDC, (b) SDV by the monitor, and (c) form by form review by Data Management.


CRIO’s strategy is to target small to medium sized biotech and pharma sponsors with a delivery model that ensures higher quality data, faster time to lock, rapid site startup, greater incentivization of the sites, and more reliable enrollment timelines, at a reduced overall cost. To execute this, CRIO is seeking an experienced senior resource with CRO, pharmaceutical, or extensive site experience to reimagine the clinical trial delivery process for sponsors centered around CRIO’s innovative site-centric approach.
