  • Experience mentoring or supporting other CRAs is advantageous

For all applicants

  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • Willingness to travel as required
  • Passion for advancing clinical research and improving patient outcomes

When you join ICON Strategic Solutions, you gain the best of both worlds:

  • Work within dedicated sponsor environments
