Clinical QA Manager

ICON is a global healthcare intelligence and clinical research organisation united by a mission to bring new medicines and treatments to patients faster.

As a values-driven organisation, integrity, collaboration, agility, and inclusion are at the heart of how we work and interact with each other, customers, patients, and suppliers.

Role Overview

As a Clinical QA Manager at ICON, you will be responsible for ensuring robust oversight of clinical trial compliance at the country and site level. This role applies a risk-based approach to proactively identify, evaluate, and manage compliance risks, ensuring adherence to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), company procedures, and regulatory requirements. The role partners closely with country, regional, and global stakeholders to safeguard patient safety, data integrity, and inspection readiness.

What You Will Do

Your focus will be on coordinating clinical quality assurance and compliance delivery, resolving issues, and developing team capability.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing and implementing quality assurance strategies and processes to support clinical trial activities.
  • Conducting quality assessments and audits to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and guidelines.
  • Collaborating with project teams to identify and address quality issues and implement corrective actions as needed.
  • Providing guidance and support to staff regarding quality assurance policies, procedures, and best practices.
  • Contributing to the development and maintenance of quality management systems and documentation.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
