Study Start Up Associate (Contracts & Budgets)

Study start up associates are integral in ensuring that clinical research sites are prepared and have the necessary tools and approvals needed to start the trial of investigational, new pharmaceutical and biological products for clinical trials.

As a study start up associate at ICON working in contracts and budgets your main role is to review and negotiate clinical site investigator contracts and budgets. You would maintain communication with Investigative sites, sponsors and internal personnel regarding the status of contracts and contract-related documents, prepare and oversee preparation of contractual documents and correspondence, and facilitate the indemnification process between the study sponsor and the site. Further you would serve as the internal consultant on study budgets with respect to investigator payments, develop and update training documentation and conduct group training as necessary, mentor and train new and junior personnel in the study start up department, and act as consultant on the Investigator Contract and Budget development process from origination through execution.

We are looking for associates who have experience in a clinical research environment with specific experience in study contracts review and budget negotiation or experience in a related field such as where contract or legal document review was a primary function.

  • A Bachelor's Degree in a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience negotiating contracts and budgets at the site level

We care about our people, since they are the key to our success. We provide an open and friendly work environment where we empower people and provide them with opportunities to develop their long term career. Caring for patients while enjoying what we do and delivering great results is something we can achieve if we know we can count on each other and have a clear vision of where we want to go.
