Join us in redefining what it means to work for a CRO.
When you work at Rho, it’s more than just a job—you become part of the Rho Factor. We’re a proud bunch of science nerds who love tackling big challenges together. We’re not your typical CRO, and we’re not trying to be. Here, curiosity is encouraged, fresh approaches are welcome, and collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
Whether you’re a data wizard, analytical genius, project mastermind, or any other role, you’ll fit right into the equation of the Rho Factor. Expect plenty of geeky jokes, eccentric personalities, spontaneous brainstorms, and a supportive community where people genuinely care about their work—and each other.
You’ll have the opportunity to experience a thriving global company with real stability - financial, workforce, and corporate, which has created a safe environment to innovate and develop over a long and rewarding career.
We are currently hiring a Medical Director with a specialty in Pain to join our team! As a Medical Director, you will have the opportunity to provide medical, clinical, and scientific advisory expertise across multiple therapeutic areas, to all Rho project teams. You will also consult with senior management, customers, and project teams to ensure the safety of subjects in clinical trials; ensure the scientific and ethical integrity of clinical trial design and conduct; provide medical input to clinical programs; and provide clinical development and regulatory input as needed.
Our Medical Team will tell you, joining Rho has been one of their best career moves in terms of contentment, financial rewards and career growth, which is why we have such stability in the group!
This role can be located remotely anywhere in the United States.
