The posting

Job description

At Innovative Trials, we believe our greatest asset is our people. We are currently going through an exciting period of growth and are looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Proposals and Contracts Associate to assist with delivering high-quality commercial bids and commercial agreements across our clinical trial patient recruitment portfolio. We operate with strong values at our core, ensuring that as we grow, we remain a collaborative, inclusive, and high-performing environment where everyone’s contribution is valued. In this role, you will work closely with our Proposals and Contracts team to deliver high-quality proposals for new and existing business opportunities, build accurate budgets, and manage key contractual documentation from inception through study award and beyond.

What You Will Achieve

  • Compelling Bid & Proposal Creation: Contribute to writing, compiling, and formatting high-impact bid responses and proposal presentations, ensuring exceptional quality in written documentation, formatting, and graphics.
  • Commercial Budgeting & Pricing: Develop robust cost proposals aligned with our business strategy and defined pricing parameters, leading on smaller proposals end-to-end and briefing third-party vendors for accurate pass-through estimates.
  • Contract Development & Execution: Draft and oversee essential contractual agreements, including Master Services Agreements (MSAs), Statements of Work (SOWs), Purchase Orders (POs), and Change Orders (COs) to protect project scope and commercial integrity.
  • Seamless Operational Handovers: Bridge the commercial and delivery phases by coordinating Business Development handovers, facilitating review meetings, and ensuring Service Delivery teams have complete clarity on SOWs ahead of Kick-Off Meetings (KOM).
  • Process & Analytics Optimisation: Analyse KPI data and study metrics within final study reports, maintain active tracker databases (SOW/PO details), and actively contribute to evolving our proposal, contracting, and forecasting best practices.

Who We Are Looking For

  • Proposal & Budgeting Background: Proven experience creating high-quality, industry-competitive RFPs and detailed commercial budgets, with the demonstrated ability to lead smaller proposals from receipt to completion.
  • Exceptional Communicator & Organiser: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, paired with sharp attention to detail and strong multitasking and time-management capabilities when balancing competing deadlines.
  • Collaborative Stakeholder Partner: A self-motivated team player comfortable interfacing with diverse internal and external stakeholders, from BD and Service Delivery to external vendors.
  • Technical Proficiency: Highly proficient across Microsoft Office (advanced Excel and PowerPoint) and Google Workspace equivalents.
  • Industry Familiarity (Desirable): Prior experience within clinical research, clinical trials, or clinical outsourcing environments is highly advantageous.

Job benefits

We know that to take care of our business, we must first take care of you. We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your life inside and outside of work:

  • Your Time & Flexibility: Flexible working arrangements, 24 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays, and regular company events to celebrate our collective success.
  • Financial & Future Security: A competitive salary, discretionary bonus, People's Pension, a recruitment referral programme, and long service rewards.
  • Health & Wellbeing: Comprehensive healthcare, life assurance, flu jabs, and a dedicated Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to support your overall wellbeing.
  • Lifestyle & Commute: An EV Car Scheme, a Cycle to Work scheme, and free on-site parking.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
