Full description from employer
ICON is a global healthcare intelligence and clinical research organisation united by a mission to bring new medicines and treatments to patients faster.
As a values-driven organisation, integrity, collaboration, agility, and inclusion are at the heart of how we work and interact with each other, customers, patients and suppliers.
As a CRA II or Senior CRA within our Early Phase team, you'll play a critical role in studies that sit at the very beginning of the drug development journey, including first-in-human and proof-of-concept research. Working alongside leading investigators, sponsors, and specialist clinical teams, you'll help advance promising new therapies from concept to clinical reality.
Unlike traditional large-scale monitoring roles, you'll focus on a smaller portfolio of approximately 3-4 sites across the UK, enabling you to build strong site relationships, maintain exceptional quality oversight, and make a genuine impact on the success of each study.
