Sr CRA:

Sr CRA

We receive the question of ‘how to become a Sr CRA so frequently, we recently recorded a roundtable providing tangible advice on how to progress into the role. But due to the frequency of the question, I felt it would be important to ask one of my own:  

Do junior-level candidates understand the good, bad, and ugly of being a Sr CRA? 

Maybe…maybe not. As I coach junior-level candidates and aspiring CRAs, it often becomes apparent to me that they have a romanticized view of the senior CRA role. Therefore, in order to demystify the role (as well as reinforce how to successfully progress into it), we felt we had to go to the source. 

We partnered up with a dear friend and highly respected senior-level industry consultant, Mashaan Guy. We asked him what his advice would be to those who want to progress into the Sr CRA role. 

He does a deep dive into what he believes are important skills you should develop. Additionally, he offers advice on what types of experiences you should gain in order to compete in the role. He also throws some reality your way, being very direct about the good, bad, and ugly of the role. If you have ever considered what it would take for you to progress to the senior CRA position and perform it effectively, this podcast absolutely has to be on your ‘must listen’ list.
