* Balancing sponsor generated queries

* Preparation and review of study documentation and feasibility studies for new proposals
* Potential to assist in training and mentoring fellow CRAs

You will need:
* 18 months+ of monitoring experience in phase I-III trials as a CRA
* College degree in medicine, science, or equivalent
* Previous monitoring experience in medium-sized studies, including study start-up and close-out
* Knowledge of ICH-GCP guidelines and ability to review and evaluate medical data
* Excellent written and verbal communication
* Ability to work to tight deadlines
* Availability to travel least 60% of the time (international and domestic -fly and drive) and should possess a valid driving license

Benefits of Working in ICON:
Our success depends on the quality of our people. That's why we've made it a priority to build a culture that rewards high performance and nurtures talent.

We offer very competitive salary packages. And to keep them competitive, we regularly benchmark them against our competitors. Our annual bonuses reflect delivery of performance goals - both ours and yours.
We also provide a range of health-related benefits to employees and their families and offer competitive retirement plans - and related benefits such as life assurance - so you can save and plan with confidence for the years ahead.
But beyond the competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits, you'll benefit from an environment where you are encouraged to fulfil your sense of purpose and drive lasting change.
