Ensure Precision in Clinical Trial Site Payments from Your Home in Taiwan
ICON plc is a world-leading healthcare intelligence and clinical research organization. Our mission is to accelerate the development of drugs and devices that save lives and improve quality of life.

Your work ensures financial accuracy, compliance with contracts, and timely payments, directly contributing to strong site relationships and smooth clinical trial operations. If you have a knack for numbers, a passion for process, and an eye for detail, this is your opportunity to build a specialized career in clinical research finance.
