Clinical Research Associates at Parexel FSP

Parexel FSP supports clinical studies across the full range of oncology and non-oncology therapeutic areas, and we have longstanding partnerships with a vast client base.

We supported the trials of most of today’s top 50 best-selling drugs, but equally we enable more niche drug developments that are critical to the well-being of many patients.

On a human level, if you’re a CRA with a passion for a particular therapeutic area, we’ll do our best to accommodate you. Or equally, we can help you broaden your experience.

You’ll be an influential member of your study team. Evaluating, monitoring, and closing sites. Involved in recruiting strategies. Protecting patients. Ensuring safe, efficient, compliant delivery.

Beyond this, there are opportunities to take part in aspects of study and project management, such as team and vendor management.

As well as learning by osmosis from industry-leading professionals, you’ll gain world class training from Parexel and from our sponsors too.

And you’ll be able to share knowledge and ideas with a global community of clinical operations, biometrics, regulatory, medical writing, and medical affairs specialists.

As you close one site, there’ll be many more opportunities open to you, at the top of your profession.

We value work-life balance. We aim to keep regular hours and an emphasis on life outside the office. We’ll value your welfare just as highly as that of our patients. Our managers will listen to, and act on, any concerns.
