Europe

Iterative Health is a healthcare technology and services company powering the acceleration of clinical research to transform patient outcomes. The Iterative Health Site Network is a premier network of 70+ clinical research sites across US and Europe accelerating the path to market for gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatology novel therapies. Our focus is on driving the success and growth of our partner sites by empowering them with tech-enabled services. By combining deep expertise in clinical trials with cutting-edge AI, we empower research teams and study sponsors to expand and expedite access to novel therapeutics for patients in need.

About the Role

We’re hiring a driven and strategic operator to lead the growth of our international clinical site network. This is a rare opportunity to architect and execute global growth at a high-velocity healthcare company.

You’ll work cross-functionally with product, operations, and executive leadership to ensure our international footprint accelerates trial performance at scale with the full support of a fast-scaling company. 

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, operates with urgency, and knows how to go from insight to execution. You’ll be building the foundation of our ex-US research business and writing the playbook as you go.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact leadership role - a rare opportunity to shape the international roadmap of one of the fastest-growing platforms in clinical research. If you're a top performer ready to own a global growth mandate with real scope and impact, we want to hear from you.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
