Project Manager - Interactive Response Technology (IRT)

ICON plc

ICON plc is a world-leading healthcare intelligence and clinical research organisation. We foster an inclusive environment driving innovation and excellence, welcoming you to join us on our mission to shape the future of clinical development.

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

You will:

  • Build relationships both internally and externally, driving IRT activities across multiple studies while maintaining timelines and budget adherence.
  • Facilitate meetings, manage timelines, provide input on requirement designs and budget control.
  • Acts as a proactive communicator, engaging with key stakeholders including sponsors while identifying risks and creating appropriate action plans.
  • Provide detailed oversight of all activities—including data changes and system updates—during the maintenance phase.
  • Be a critical thinker and negotiator, adept at balancing multiple priorities and effectively engaging with clients.

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.
