Every clinical trial starts with a question. At Teckro, we asked “Why can’t clinical trials be more accessible, transparent and simple?” But you probably also want to know why you should join us at Teckro. What’s in it for you? 

So, let’s get down to our benefits: 

· Firstly, we understand that work is just one part of your life. That’s why every Teckronaut has a generous holiday package, so that you can spend your time doing what you love.   

· We want your working hours to work for you, which is why we also offer flexi-time as standard.   

· Expecting a new arrival? We offer competitive maternity and paternity leave.   

· We couldn’t work in clinical trials without caring about your health. We have healthcare and dental options available, including a gym/wellness allowance.   

· We also have a generous pension plan and life insurance.   

· Finally, we have a company stock option offering for all permanent Teckronauts. There wouldn’t be a company without you, and so it’s only right that you have a slice of the (moon)pie.
