[Hiring] Feasibility Lead @ICON plc

Role Description

At ICON Strategic Solutions, you will work in a sponsor-dedicated model, supported by ICON’s global expertise.

As the world’s largest FSP organisation, with over 90 sponsor partnerships, we offer stability, career development and a collaborative environment where your work contributes to the development of treatments that benefit patients worldwide.

What You Will Do:

• Country strategy and feasibility assessment
• Lead country selection strategy, developing data-driven recommendations on country mix, site allocation, and enrollment distribution
• Oversee CRO completion of design and execution of feasibility assessments, including:
  • Protocol-specific feasibility questionnaires
  • Competitive landscape and trial-density analyses
  • Epidemiology and standard-of-care review
  • Regulatory and start-up timeline mapping by country
• Pressure-test enrollment assumptions by triangulating internal performance data, external intelligence sources, and direct site and investigator input
• Site identification and selection:
  • Build and maintain a curated, indication-specific site and investigator landscape across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
  • Lead site identification and qualification, coordinating with CRO partners to run pre-study assessments and translating findings into transparent, criteria-based selection recommendations
  • Track and manage site performance history — enrollment rates, data quality, inspection and audit history, screen-failure patterns, and startup cycle times
• Data, intelligence, and reporting:
  • Maintain feasibility metrics and enrollment
  • Present feasibility findings, trade-offs, and recommendations clearly — including where the data is thin and what assumption is carrying the risk
• Cross-functional and vendor partnership:
  • Serve as the feasibility point of contact for assigned programs, partnering with study teams from concept through first-patient-in
  • Manage feasibility and site intelligence vendors and CRO feasibility teams — setting scope, holding quality and timeline standards, and reviewing deliverables critically
  • Partner with Patient Advocacy and Recruitment on patient-finding, referral pathway, and site-support strategies for indications where the eligible population is scarce or highly competed

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, nursing, public health, or a related field
• 5+ years of clinical operations experience in biotech, pharma, or CRO, with extensive experience in country and site feasibility oversight
• Therapeutic experience: Experience in Immunology highly preferred (dermatology, GI - nice to have)
• Demonstrated ownership of country selection and/or site selection recommendations for global studies, with the analytical work to support them
• Strong quantitative skills — comfortable building enrollment models and country scorecards in Excel and working with trial-landscape and real-world data platforms (e.g., Citeline/Informa, IQVIA, TriNetX, ClinicalTrials.gov, EU CTIS)
• Working knowledge of ICH GCP, global regulatory and start-up requirements, and country-level submission and approval timelines
• Excellent written and verbal communication — able to turn ambiguous data into a clear, defensible recommendation for a senior audience
• Ability to manage multiple studies and shifting priorities in a fast-moving, lean organization

Requirements

• Employment with ICON is contingent upon having the legal right to work in the country where the role is based

Benefits

• Competitive base salary and performance related incentives
• Health and wellbeing programmes including medical, dental, and vision coverage where applicable
• Retirement and pension plans
• Life assurance and disability coverage
• Employee assistance programmes and wellbeing resources
