About ICON plc
Since our foundation in Dublin, Ireland in 1990, our mission has been to help our clients to accelerate the development of drugs and devices that save lives and improve quality of life.
We are a global provider of consulting, and outsourced development and commercialisation services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and government and public health organisations. We focus our innovation on the factors that are critical to our clients – reducing time to market, reducing cost and increasing quality – and our global team of experts has extensive experience in a broad range of therapeutic areas. ICON has been recognised as one of the world’s leading Contract Research Organisations through a number of high-profile industry awards.
Our Mission & Culture
ICON is a values-driven, people-centric organisation. Our core values are not unique to ICON but we use these guiding pillars to stay accountable for the work that we do. We are passionate and driven and we want to deliver for our patients, our people and our customers.
As one team, we believe in the power of collaboration to inspire and enable our people across all service lines. We believe that collaboration leads to increased innovation and efficient and successful outcomes.
We always strive to do the right thing and we have built our business on integrity and responsibility. With longstanding partnerships with pharma, biotech and medical device companies, we constantly seek to bring new and innovative solutions to our customers’ challenges.
We want to be the Clinical Research Organisation that drives more client projects to market or accelerated decision than anyone else in the industry. In short, to be the partner of choice in drug development. That’s our vision. We’re driven by it. And we need talented people who share it.
If you’re as driven as we are, join us. You’ll be working in a great environment, with some of the brightest and the friendliest people in the sector, and you’ll be helping shape an industry.

D&I at ICON
We consider our people to be our greatest assets. Likewise, our diversity initiatives are essential for our people’s success, creating an environment where voices are heard and valued. As a global, values-driven organisation, ICON acknowledges and celebrates our differences in gender, ethnicity, culture and abilities. Respecting diverse viewpoints and experiences establishes the foundation for our interactions with one another and with our patients, customers and suppliers. To this end, we strive to build teams that reflect the various geographies and communities in which we live and work, as well as the patients we serve.
Our DIB strategy revolves around four key ambitions:
– Making it easier for our patients to engage in clinical research
– Maximizing the impact of our efforts through collaboration with our customers
– Fostering a culture that is inclusive, collaborative and accountable for our people, where individuals from all backgrounds bring their best selves to work.
– Supporting the advancement of health and wellbeing in all our communities
ICON’s DIB Operating Committee brings together individuals from throughout the company to create and execute work streams committed to advancing our DIB strategy across these ambitions. A central team manages its overarching efforts to ensure alignment and collaboration. Each ambition has a sponsor from ICON’s executive leadership team, who advocates for and supports the agenda.
