In 1991, PRA expanded its service offering to include clinical trial management and opened their first European location. 1996 saw the company name change to PRA International as the company moved towards becoming a global CRO with 333 employees. In 1997, PRA acquired International Medical and Technical Consultants (IMTCI), a CRO based in Lenexa, Kansas. This increased PRA International's clinical trials leadership, expertise and experience within the key therapeutic areas of allergy and respiratory. Additionally they gained a Phase I facility. In 1999, PRA acquired Valorum (UK) Ltd, based in Reading, UK. This acquisition enhanced their regulatory expertise and expanded PRA's trial management footprint in Europe. In 2000, PRA acquired ARCAM, an international CRO based in Paris, France.

The thinking behind this strategy was to provide a dedicated resource to strategic clients at a global level thereby ensuring PRA could develop a deep knowledge of the client, their portfolio, pipeline, culture and vision. Additionally, the client could benefit from a single point of contact for their operational and commercial needs. In executing this strategy, PRA set out to build a team of Project Delivery professionals who would work alongside operational and commercial groups to coordinate activities relating to specific accounts.

Today, the Project Delivery team is 13 strong and is led by six General Partners worldwide. Their remit is to provide client management, leadership and project mentorship with the goal of providing outstanding customer delivery and developing a strong, long-term relationship with the customer. In the last few months, PRA have been awarded preferred provider status with a global pharmaceutical company and the need has arisen to recruit an additional Director, Project Delivery to the team. Reporting to the UK based General Partner, the role can be based at one of PRA's European offices or may be home based for the right candidate. PRA are seeking a professional with a life sciences degree who brings extensive experience in global phase I-IV clinical trial management and strong commercial skills. You will already be liaising with clinical research and procurement professionals at a senior level within the pharmaceutical industry and comfortable with managing a portfolio of multi-centre international studies.
