PROPOSAL SPECIALIST (ENTRY-LEVEL/REMOTE-USA)

Are you detail-oriented, curious, and ready to begin a meaningful career? We’re looking for someone early in their professional journey who is eager to learn and contribute to a collaborative team that plays a key role in developing proposals for clinical research and pharmaceutical services.
This position is well suited for a recent graduate or someone with a bit of relevant experience who is interested in gaining practical exposure to the proposal process, project coordination, and the clinical research industry. You don’t need to come in as an expert — we’ll provide training, mentorship, and the support you need to build your skills.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

We’re looking for someone who is eager to learn and excited to be part of a collaborative, detail-focused team. Specifically, we’re seeking someone who has:

• A bachelor’s degree (ideally in business, life sciences, or a related field) — this is a requirement for the role
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office tools, especially Word and Excel
• A high level of attention to detail and accuracy
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• A genuine curiosity about how our business works and a willingness to ask questions
• A positive, team-oriented approach and the ability to work cooperatively with others
• A focus on openness, honesty, and follow-through in day-to-day interactions
• An interest in proposal development and a desire to understand how we scope and communicate our services
• Comfort managing several small tasks or projects at once and staying organized

Some prior exposure to the clinical research or pharmaceutical industry is helpful but not required. We value potential and attitude just as much as experience.
