## Description

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 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.

### What You'll Be Doing

- Managing site qualification, initiation, monitoring and close-out activities across a portfolio of UK Early Phase studies.

- Building strong partnerships with investigators and site teams to ensure study success.

- Ensuring patient safety, protocol compliance, and data integrity throughout the clinical trial lifecycle.

- Reviewing study data, resolving site queries, and proactively identifying and mitigating risks.

- Supporting sponsors and project teams through the unique operational challenges associated with early development programmes.

- Acting as a trusted clinical research expert, providing guidance and support to sites and internal stakeholders.

### What We're Looking For

- CRA II: Previous independent monitoring experience across clinical trials.

- Senior CRA: Significant independent monitoring experience with the ability to manage complex studies and act as a mentor for less experienced colleagues.

- Strong understanding of ICH-GCP, regulatory requirements, and clinical trial operations.

- Excellent relationship-building and communication skills.

- Ability to work proactively, independently, and collaboratively within a global study team.

- Life Science, Nursing, Pharmacy, or other relevant healthcare degree (or equivalent experience).

- Able to travel across the UK as required to complete onsite visits.

### Rewards & Benefits

ICON offers a competitive and comprehensive total rewards package designed to support your health, wellbeing, and career development.

Benefits may include:

- Competitive base salary and performance related incentives

- Health and wellbeing programmes including medical, dental, and vision coverage where applicable

- Retirement and pension plans

- Life assurance and disability coverage

- Employee assistance programmes and wellbeing resources

- Learning and development opportunities through structured training and career pathways.
