CR Edge serves three groups of professionals. Find yours below.
You have the degree. Now you need the strategy. We help life science graduates position themselves credibly and land their first CRA or clinical research role.
Learn more →You've spent years in clinical practice. We help nurses, pharmacists, lab techs, and coordinators make a confident, credible transition into clinical research — opening the door to CRA, study coordination, pharmacovigilance, regulatory and beyond.
Learn more →You're performing beyond your title. We help experienced CRAs close the positioning gap and step into Senior CRA, CTM, or Local Study Manager roles.
Learn more →CR Edge is about one thing: getting you into the next clinical research role you're aiming for — with the positioning, strategy, and industry insight to move faster than figuring it out alone.
We start with how the market actually sees you — and rebuild your CV, LinkedIn, and personal narrative so hiring managers and recruiters recognise you as the candidate they're looking for.
We translate years of inside knowledge from UK pharma and CROs into a clear, targeted job-search plan: which roles to chase, which to skip, what recruiters and hiring managers actually want to hear.
Mock interviews, application strategy, salary positioning, and the small adjustments that separate the offer from the rejection. Every session ends with a clear next action.
We coach across three pathways: life science graduates breaking into the industry, healthcare professionals transitioning from clinical practice, and senior CRAs progressing into Study Manager and leadership roles. Cohorts run small and focused — find your pathway above to learn more.
The self-study course is available at £297 — instant access, lifetime use. A low-commitment way to work through the CR Edge methodology in your own time.
To make a career in clinical research accessible to ambitious healthcare professionals, life science graduates, and experienced CRAs ready for their next step — through the positioning, strategy and industry insight that wasn't available when it was needed most.
15+ years of UK pharma and CRO experience. Not theoretical.
Direct feedback. No fluff. No false promises.
Every session ends with what you do next.
One focused goal: your next role.
CR Edge was created by a senior UK clinical research professional with over 15 years of hands-on experience at major pharmaceutical companies and CROs — spanning CRA, Senior CRA, and Clinical Trial Manager roles across Phase 1–4 trials.
This isn't theoretical career advice. It's the exact framework, positioning strategy, and industry insight that wasn't available when it was needed most. Now it is — for you. The coaching here is built on 15+ years of direct industry experience — not a personal brand. The focus is entirely on you, your career, and one outcome: your next role.
After 15+ years inside UK pharma and CROs as a CRA, Senior CRA, and Clinical Trial Manager across Phase 1–4 trials, I'm formalising the coaching I've been doing informally for over a decade.
Founding members of each cohort get the first eight weeks of structured coaching at early-access pricing — in exchange for honest case studies and feedback that shape every cohort that follows. The Clinical Pivot cohort launches first. Graduate and Senior CRA cohorts follow.
If you want the most personal attention I'll ever give a cohort in your pathway, this is the moment to step in.
