Departments
Do your life’s best work here now. With the whole world watching.
How we are organised
One company. Two ways to build a career.
Everything at TFS runs through two delivery models. Same employer, same mission, two different rhythms of work. Most careers here eventually touch both.
Clinical Development Services (CDS)
The scientific and operational heart of TFS. Therapeutically aligned study teams, with clinical operations, medical, data, regulatory, safety and quality side by side, carry programs from first in human to real world evidence.
- Own studies end to end in TFS teams
- Five therapeutic area departments
- Cross functional by design, no hand off chains
Strategic Resourcing Solutions (SRS)
TFS expertise, embedded with sponsors. FSP, hybrid and direct placements put you inside leading pharma and biotech teams across the whole development lifecycle, with your career, development and support anchored at TFS.
- Work inside sponsor organisations
- Flexibility across clients, models and indications
- Always backed by a TFS team
The departments
The teams that make a study happen.
Every trial runs on people from a dozen disciplines pulling in the same direction. These are the teams you could join, and what your days would actually look like.
Clinical Operations
CRAs, clinical trial managers and project leads who take a protocol off the page and make it happen, at real sites, with real patients. The face of TFS to every investigator and sponsor.
Roles: Clinical Research Associate, Clinical Trial Manager, Project Director
Medical and Scientific Affairs
Physicians and scientists who shape study design with investigators, watch over safety signals and keep every protocol scientifically honest. The judgement behind the operations.
Roles: Medical Monitor, Medical Advisor, Medical Writer
Biometrics and Data Management
Data managers, biostatisticians and statistical programmers who turn hundreds of thousands of data points into evidence a regulator can trust. If it is not in the data, it did not happen.
Roles: Data Manager, Biostatistician, Statistical Programmer
Regulatory Affairs and Start Up
The navigators. Submissions, approvals and site activation across the agencies and ethics committees of 40 countries, so studies start on time and stay compliant.
Roles: Regulatory Affairs Specialist, Study Start Up Lead
Pharmacovigilance and Drug Safety
Every adverse event assessed, every signal followed. Safety teams protect the people in our trials, and the patients who will use the treatment after them.
Roles: Drug Safety Officer, PV Manager, Safety Physician
Quality Assurance
Audits, GCP and inspection readiness. Quality is one of our five values, and this team is how we keep it a fact rather than a poster.
Roles: QA Auditor, Quality Manager
Business and Corporate Functions
Business development, people, finance, IT and marketing. The teams that keep a 600 person, 40 country company moving and growing.
Roles: Business Development, Talent Acquisition, Finance and IT
Where we specialise
Five therapeutic areas, in real depth.
We work where focus beats scale, often on the studies larger CROs find too small, too specialised or too complex. Whichever department you join, these are the fields you will learn from experts in.
Dermatology
Inflammatory skin disease, immunology and aesthetics
Internal Medicine
Cardio metabolic, respiratory, GI and autoimmune
Neuroscience
Neurodegeneration, psychiatry, pain and rare disease
Oncology
Solid tumours and hematologic malignancies
Ophthalmology
Retinal, inflammatory and degenerative eye disease
Our values
Not on a wall. In the work.
Trust
Confidence, reliability and expectations met, with colleagues as much as with sponsors.
Quality
Our standard and constant objective: of performance, of delivery, of results.
Passion
Professionalism fuelled by dedication and a real appetite for doing it excellently.
Flexibility
We meet change with agility. Mid sized on purpose, quick by design.
Sustainability
Science based targets and a footprint falling year on year, for people, patients and the generations after them.
Employee development
Development that is planned, not promised.
Development is deliberate: a plan you own, a manager measured on it, and colleagues who teach because they were taught.
01
Learn
Structured GCP, therapeutic area and systems training, plus study specific onboarding before you ever face a site alone.
02
Be mentored
Every new colleague gets a buddy, and a mentor outside their own line, for the questions you would rather not ask your manager.
03
Advance
Deepen expertise as a specialist or lead people and programmes. Both are real careers here, with clear levels and honest conversations.
04
Stretch
Embed with a sponsor, join a new indication, or help open a study in a country we have never run in before.
