Clinical Monitoring - ICON Pharma Solutions & ICON Biotech Solutions
As a Pharma Solutions CRA, you have the opportunity to work in a variety of different protocols and Therapeutic Areas you are not aligned with, which gives you so much more opportunity to keep learning. We also run indication-specific internal ‘Universities’ to provide that extra layer of knowledge if someone hasn’t been exposed to a certain area before. Our Management team in the clinical operations group has been a part of the ICON for a long time and can support you with the growth of your career – we are also very proud to say that many of them have joined us as CRAs and are home-grown. We offer thousands of practical and diverse training modules available through our in-house training programme. With a mixture of instructor-led, self-learning or in-person classroom settings.
As a Biotech Solutions CRA, you will have the ability to develop a broad therapeutic experience. CRAs may have the opportunity to work on Phase I studies, niche treatments, blockbuster drugs or biosimilars. Our Biotech CRAs will work on a minimal number of protocols and sponsors and have dedicated functional managers who are not assigned to billable work. ICON offers a wide range of CRA perks.

Mariagabriela Alterio
Vice President, ICON Pharma Clinical Operations Latin America
I joined ICON (then PRA) in 2014 to manage a group of 8 CRAs local to Mexico. We grew to 40+ within 5 years, implemented the CMA and SMA role and set our footprint in other LATAM countries locally. We now have a hub with Clin Ops Managers, SMAs, CRAs and CTMs running dozens of studies in over 100 sites across LATAM. I love the trust the company and its leaders have put in me and the balance I have to also be there with my family in those special moments.

Our synergy is bar none.
