An Evolution of Progress and Success: Zashan's story a Clinical Research Associate (CRA)

Having a satisfying career involves finding a company that prioritizes progress, improvement, and chances for advancement. Zashan, who began his journey with us in 2016, has shared his experience and insights. 

Transitioning to a New Career

"Having worked in a healthcare laboratory setting for many years and gaining experience in various disciplines, I felt it was time to transition and explore opportunities in clinical research. ICON was able to facilitate this in 2016 when I joined as a Clinical Research Associate for one of their dedicated sponsor FSP models."

The foundation of a successful career often lies in the quality of training provided

"I knew I had made the right choice from the very beginning; the training I received from both ICON and the client was great, and coupled with the experience and knowledge from my previous roles made the transition very easy. There are various training opportunities available within ICON, which also help strengthen employee skillsets."


Leadership and support play pivotal roles in shaping an employee's growth trajectory 

 

"The support and leadership I have received from the management at ICON have been incredible. Being part of a team always striving to improve their skill set while sharing their strengths and experiences has enabled me to develop further."

At ICON, career growth isn't just a concept; it's a reality 

"ICON also offers great career development opportunities throughout the organization, which I have witnessed firsthand, having started initially as a CRA, then holding CRA II and Senior CRA roles before stepping up to a Study Manager position. I have no hesitation in recommending ICON; it's a great place to work." 

 We take immense pride in our team members who have the drive and ambition to shape their careers and positively impact the world of clinical research. If you're seeking a dynamic and rewarding career in clinical research, we invite you to explore opportunities with ICON. Join us on a journey of growth, excellence, and innovation.
