The Company
Founded in 1886 in Naples under the name of Farmacia Internazionale, Menarini moved in 1915 to Florence where the Group’s headquarters are still located today. High quality therapeutics and diagnostics solutions for patients, ethics as our underlying principle, dedication to innovation and advancement, strong people centricity and environmental sustainability. These five pillars form the foundation of the Menarini Group, an Italian pharmaceutical company with nearly 135 years of history.
The Menarini Group is present in 70 countries and our products are sold in 140 locations around the world. Its companies span from Europe to Asia, to Africa and the Middle East, to Central America and to the United States where with the acquisition of Stemline Therapeutics, a NASDAQ-listed biopharmaceutical company, the company marked its entry into the US oncology market.
Thanks to the valuable contribution of around 18,000 employees, every year more than 500 million packs of drugs are produced at the Group's 18 manufacturing sites including a biotech plant for the manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies that also serves external clients distributed across 6 continents.
Menarini has made a strong commitment to oncology, investing in a pipeline of five investigational compounds for the treatment of a variety of haematological and solid tumours. The acquisition of Stemline Therapeutics in June 2020, further strengthened Menarini’s oncology portfolio, adding both commercial and clinical-stage assets. Tagraxofusp is a novel, first in class targeted therapy for patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) and to date, the only approved treatment for BPDCN in the U.S. and EU, and the first and only approved CD123-targeted therapy. Tagraxofusp is also being evaluated as both a single agent and in combination, in other CD123+ indications, including acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML), and myelofibrosis (MF).
Additionally, Menarini received exclusive rights to commercialise Selinexor for the treatment of oncology indications in the European Union and other European countries (including the United Kingdom), Latin America and other key countries. Menarini has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Karyopharm Therapeutics for the rights to commercialise an innovative therapeutic option in Europe, Latin America, Turkey, Russia, and CIS countries. Selinexor is a first-in-class, oral Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear export compound for the treatment of hematologic cancers and solid tumours. It is already marketed in the US for multiple myeloma and is under development for solid tumour indications. Selinexor is registered in the EU for both early and late lines.
Menarini entered into a global licence agreement with Radius Health to complete the development of Elacestrant, an oral SERD in late-stage Phase 3 development for hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer. Following a successful phase 3 study, Menarini Stemline received FDA approval in January 2023 under priority review and successfully oversaw a strong launch in February to the US market with the EMA review process concluded positively in September 2023.
It is an exciting time in the company’s development and an excellent opportunity for individuals joining us to contribute to building and shaping Menarini Stemline’s Oncology business.

Tips for Your Clinical Trial Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to trial phases
Hiring managers scan for the specific phases you've managed. List each study on your resume with its phase, therapeutic area, and your exact scope of oversight so reviewers can immediately match your background to their pipeline.
Highlight your ICH E6 and GCP fluency
Every listing expects GCP compliance experience, but strong candidates cite specific audits they've led, deviations they've resolved, or inspection-readiness activities they've owned. Vague GCP mentions blend into every other application.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists clinical trial manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target openings by CRO versus sponsor side
CRO roles demand multi-study juggling and vendor oversight, while sponsor-side positions often require deeper therapeutic focus. Filter your search by company type and angle your cover letter toward whichever model matches your strongest experience.
Prepare scenario answers around site management
Interviewers consistently probe how you handle a non-enrolling site or a protocol deviation at a key investigator location. Walk through a real example with the problem, your escalation path, and the outcome to stand apart from candidates who answer in theory only.
Negotiate using trial complexity, not just tenure
When discussing compensation, anchor your ask to the complexity of studies you've run, such as multi-regional submissions, adaptive designs, or orphan drug designations, rather than years of experience alone. Complexity justifies a higher band more concretely than tenure.
Clinical Trial Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most clinical trial managers?
The companies hiring the most clinical trial managers right now include Medpace, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and サイネオス・ヘルス, with the largest share of openings in California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Demand is concentrated at large contract research organizations and mid-size biopharmaceutical sponsors actively running late-stage pipelines.
How many clinical trial manager jobs are remote?
About 69% of clinical trial manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with the highest remote share in roles focused on oversight and vendor management rather than hands-on site monitoring. Positions requiring frequent investigator site visits or on-site team leadership tend to remain in-person or regionally anchored.
How do you become a clinical trial manager?
Start as a clinical research associate or study coordinator to build site-level trial experience, then take on increasing responsibility for site selection, protocol management, and team coordination. Completing GCP training and earning a certification through the Society of Clinical Research Associates strengthens your candidacy. Most employers expect demonstrated experience managing at least one full-cycle study before promoting into a manager role.
Can you get a clinical trial manager job with limited experience?
Yes, some employers hire candidates into associate or junior clinical trial manager roles with a strong academic background in clinical research and relevant internship or coordinator experience. Emphasizing hands-on exposure to site visits, informed consent processes, or data cleaning in your application helps offset limited formal management experience. Roles at smaller sponsors or academic research sites are often more open to developing candidates.
What does the clinical trial manager interview process look like?
Most processes begin with a recruiter screening call focused on your trial phase experience and regulatory background, followed by a competency-based interview with the hiring manager covering site management scenarios and protocol deviation handling. A panel round with cross-functional colleagues in clinical operations or data management is common at larger organizations. Some employers add a written case study or ask you to walk through a past study timeline.
Where can I find and apply to clinical trial manager jobs?
