At ICON, it’s our people that set us apart. Our diverse teams enable us to become a better partner to our customers and help us to fulfil our mission to advance and improve patients’ lives.
Our ‘Own It’ culture is driven by four key values that bring us together as individuals and set us apart as an organisation: Accountability & Delivery, Collaboration, Partnership and Integrity. We want to be the Clinical Research Organisation that delivers excellence to our clients and to patients at every touch-point. In short, to be the partner of choice in drug development.
That’s our vision. We’re driven by it. And we need talented people who share it.
If you’re as driven as we are, join us. You’ll be working in a dynamic and supportive environment, with some of the brightest and the friendliest people in the sector, and you’ll be helping shape an industry.
Do you want to watch clinical development change, or do you want to be the one to shape it?
Because we’re hoping you’re here for the latter.
Who Are You?
You are a natural leader with a passion for drug development. You are organized, but flexible and adaptable to unexpected changes. You can easily envision the bigger picture, without losing sight of the day-to-day tasks. You provide excellent leadership not only to your project teams, but also to clients. You are excited and enthusiastic, motivating your teams to do great work and collaborating easily with your clients. You never settle for what is but are always pushing clinical development forward to what it can be, while encouraging others to do the same. Most of all, you want to do this work in a place where you’re more than an employee number – a place where you can influence, innovate and be afforded opportunities for growth. A place you love working.
Still here? Good. Because if this is you, we’d really like to meet you.
