CRO Executive Search & Recruitment

Contract research organisations sit at the centre of drug development execution. As clinical modalities become more complex and regulatory expectations tighten, the leadership required to run bioanalytical, clinical pharmacology, and safety assessment operations has become harder to find and more expensive to retain. ProGen Search places senior executives across the CRO sector, from niche specialist providers to global contract research platforms.
