Robert
Project Associate
The thing I love the most about my role is how every day is different and the experience gained through this is extremely valuable. I feel that in my 6 months as a Project Associate I have learned so much already. Another thing I love about the role is how supportive every single person I have worked with has been, ranging from management, other PAs in the office and across the world to the study teams I work with each day.

Sneha
Clinical Data Coordinator II
I first started as an Assistant Clinical Data Coordinator in 2010 after completing my graduation in Biotechnology and post graduate diploma. It is such a pleasure to work in the Data Management department, with excellent guidance and opportunities to learn and grow. I am now a Group Lead in this department. ICON is a great place; the employees are welcoming and very supportive. With steady career progression and a lot more to learn, I will always recommend ICON to the applicants looking for a career in the CRO industry. There is always something challenging happening and every day is filled with new learning opportunities.
