  • Job Title: Clinical Trial Associate (CTA)

  • Company: Global Biopharma (FSP)

  • Contract: Full Time, Permanent

  • Location: Hybrid with 1-2 days per week in the office (Flemish Region)


RBW Consulting is thrilled to present an exciting opportunity to join a leading global biopharma company through an outsourced model with a CRO. Earlier this year, we successfully placed a Senior CTA within this framework, who shared glowing feedback about their experience. They praised the positive relationship between the CRO and the biopharma, highlighting the latter's commitment to quality over quantity.


The biopharma is known for its open-door policy and streamlined structure, which fosters direct communication between employees and senior leadership. Our placed CTA described the biopharma as a wonderful place to work, with promising career prospects and greater flexibility compared to their previous employer. They also appreciated the opportunity to participate in face-to-face investigator meetings, feeling more involved and valued. Additionally, the biopharma encourages ownership and autonomy in process improvements, ensuring that employees' voices are heard and prioritized.
