Description

Circuit Clinical is on a mission to transform how people find, choose, and participate in clinical research. We are challenging the historical clinical trial methodologies through our work focused on improving access and inclusion in community-based healthcare and through our services that unburden the patients and principal investigators participating in research.

We seek a Call Center Associate to join our Team!

As an emerging startup in Buffalo, where New York state fosters rapid and robust growth within the startup community, Circuit Clinical was ranked 20th nationally for Best Workplaces for Innovators by Fast Company and was named an Inc. Magazine Best Workplaces 2021. Circuit's accolades continued beyond the early years as a research industry watchlist company, including winning SCOPE's Participant Engagement Award in 2022 while continuing to receive national recognition as Fast Company's World Changing Ideas Award 2022. Over the past year, Circuit has remained committed to breaking the norms that have challenged research participation and continues to extend reach within the research industry, having expanded client relationships with multiple pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations. And we are not done yet. Our growth knows no bounds as we extended our community-based research into the Midwest during 2023 while growing our remote research capabilities across all 50 US states.

Our award-winning culture is grounded in our values, the heart of the Circuit ethos. We focus on building an incredible, hard-charging Team and providing them the opportunity to do the best work of their careers. In short, we're motivated to take on the most challenging problems in developing new medicines - this is work that matters to us and those we serve, the patients.

We must recruit the industry's most dynamic, mission-driven, empathetic, and passionate leaders to accomplish our mission. That's where you come in!

Who You Are

We prize 4 traits above all others

Hungry: we like people who are ambitious for themselves AND for our Mission and for each other - will all win together and that takes real drive

Happy: we seek pragmatic optimists - pessimism and ironic dispositions, especially in leadership can kill startups - we seek those who know the world can be improved by those who work hard and work smart to change it

Humble: not the false "I'm not really anything" kind of modesty - we like swagger! But we prize people who are confident and know they are great, and so is everyone around them, and we act accordingly

Smart: there are a LOT of smart people here, but smart is last for a reason. We want the kind of smart people who can collaborate and respect the intelligence of others.

The Other Fine Print

Location: This is an on-site position.

Travel: May require regular travel to other research site locations.

Exemption status: Full time, Non-Exempt.
