Najat El Bariaki, 30
International Clinical Trial Manager
Clinical Development
Employed at Genmab since March 2006
“The most exciting and challenging part of my job is communicating with the
field Clinical Research Associates in different countries. They all have
their own separate issues/problems at their respective sites, which they
discuss with me. It’s exciting to help them find good solutions. I also
assist the International Clinical Trial Manager (ICTM) in creating and
updating protocols, CRFs, study reports etc. Eventually, my goal is to
become an ICTM.
When I started my career, I worked as a pharmacist at a pharmacy and then
as a Clinical Research Associate at a Clinical Research Organization. I
chose to move to Genmab, because I wanted to work at a company
headquarters, since this is where all the decisions are made. It’s
important to me to have the opportunity to influence the procedures and
decisions that are made.
At Genmab, we have employees with different educational backgrounds and
different personalities representing all age groups. It is a good workplace
with a nice atmosphere. The employees are very helpful and open, and as a
new employee, it doesn’t take long before you feel as a part of the team.
There is a lot of cooperation both inside and outside the teams – and lots
of opportunities for each individual employee to move both horizontally and
vertically within the company. It is a company where I personally can
grow.”
