Job Description

Join us in redefining what it means to work for a CRO.


When you work at Rho, it's more than just a job--you become part of the Rho Factor. We're a proud bunch of science nerds who love tackling big challenges together. We're not your typical CRO, and we're not trying to be. Here, curiosity is encouraged, fresh approaches are welcome, and collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.


Whether you're a data wizard, analytical genius, project mastermind, or any other role, you'll fit right into the equation of the Rho Factor. Expect plenty of geeky jokes, eccentric personalities, spontaneous brainstorms, and a supportive community where people genuinely care about their work--and each other.


You'll have the opportunity to experience a thriving company with real stability - financial, workforce, and corporate, which has created a safe environment to innovate and develop over a long and rewarding career.


We are currently hiring an Associate Director, Proposals and Contracts to join our team in the EU! As Associate Director, Proposals and Contracts at Rho, you will be responsible for developing complex proposals, budgets, changes in scope, and various contract documents for our commercial clients. You will need strong organization, analytical skills, and attention to detail along with the ability to interact with a host of stakeholders, both internal and external (including your partners in business development, legal, finance, and operations, as well as customer and vendor representatives).


Our P&C team will tell you, joining Rho has been one of their best career moves in terms of contentment, financial rewards and career growth, which is why we have such stability in the group!
