Why This Role Exists 

NRG Oncology trials answer questions that change how cancer is treated. When those trials run in a community practice, patients can join them close to home, with the oncologist they already know and trust. Profound is growing its oncology research, and NRG studies are an important part of that work.  

 

This role is for a coordinator who already knows who cooperative group research runs. You’ll be the lead coordinator for NRG studies across our Sterling Heights and Farmington Hills sites in Michigan, working directly with our investigators and partner oncology practices. You’ll enroll patients, keep data and safety reporting current, and follow participants through treatment and long-term follow-up. Your experience will shape how Profound runs NRG trials as the program grows. Our site network handles infrastructure, quality, and administrative operations, so you can focus on running studies well.

Partner with the Care Team 

  • Work alongside oncologists, nurses, and practice staff so research fits into each patient’s cancer care 

  • Serve as the main contact for NRG, the Cancer Trials Support Unit (CTSU), and Profound’s regulatory and quality teams on assigned studies 

  • Share your NRG knowledge with colleagues as our oncology program grows
