Laboratory Client Services

ICON Central Laboratories Client Services team encompasses all client and site support personnel including Project Management, study set-up team members and our 24/7 site support call centre.

Project Management (PM)

Project Management (PM) includes multiple roles, all working together to ensure the success of clinical trial management for our clients. 

  • The Global Project Manager will be the lead point of contact for your study and will work with a team of regionally based staff to coordinate every facet of your study, from custom setup and logistics planning to daily query resolution through final data lock. Project Managers drive start-up, maintenance, change management and database lock timelines and deliverables.
  • Project Coordinators provide project level support on day-to-day project activities for the PM group.  They are responsible for tasks such as systems access modification, kit and sample shipments/tracking, inquiries and data reconciliation. 
  • Program Managers can be assigned to provide operational oversight of a client portfolio or program.  They provide a client level escalation point, organise governance and provide client standard oversight.

Client Relationship Management (CRM)

Client Relationship Managers are assigned to oversee client portfolios.  They forge partnerships with key Central Lab clients and provide portfolio-wide leadership of the account.  CRMs work alongside clients to provide new and innovated solutions to challenges, provide portfolio metrics and ensure consistency between studies within a portfolio.

Project Management Office (PMO)

The PMO is responsible for change management activities that affect our Client Services group and clients. This team owns and drives projects to build organisational capability, including process change implementations, operational changes and key initiatives. The PMO team also coordinates all centralized client communications e.g. in relation to business contingency.
