Business Development Associate — Clinical Research (Entry Level)

Stryde Research runs clinical trials inside 20+ physician practices across Texas, Louisiana, and NJ/NY. We’re hiring someone at the start of their career to learn physician business development from the ground up — trained directly by our team.

What you’ll actually do: visit specialty medical practices and build real relationships with front desk staff and practice managers, schedule meetings between our leadership and physicians interested in research, keep our CRM updated and follow-ups on time, and support outreach campaigns and community events. Within a year, you’ll know how to take a doctor from “never heard of you” to signed research partner — a skill that pays well for the rest of your career.

You don’t need clinical research experience. You need to be comfortable walking into an office where nobody knows you, organized enough that nothing falls through cracks, and coachable. Medical assistants, front-desk veterans, retail or B2B sales people, and recent grads who’d rather learn by doing all fit.
