Join Us at Civia Health

At Civia Health, we’re reimagining how clinical trials are delivered by putting patients first and empowering providers to lead innovation. The Regional Director, Site Network, is responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of a portfolio of clinical research sites within a defined geographic territory. This role ensures the successful delivery of clinical trials, operational excellence, financial performance, and regulatory compliance across all assigned sites. The Regional Director will lead and develop site leadership teams, drive performance metrics, and serve as a key liaison between site operations and corporate functions.

At Civia Health, you're not just taking a job: You're joining a mission to transform the way clinical research is done. Our purpose is bold: to bring clinical trials front and center to your community, make them accessible to everyday people, and empower underrepresented communities to participate.

We’re reinventing how clinical studies are run, delivering valid, scalable evidence with a consumer-first mindset. Too often, trials are expensive, fragmented, and overlook the experience of the participant. At Civia, we’re changing that. Our leadership team are experienced industry leading, visionary professionals who know what’s broken and how to fix it.

We treat participants like valued partners, not research subjects. That means supporting their agency, putting their needs, comfort, and enjoyment first and rewarding them generously for their time and effort.

What It Means To Work At Civia

Every team member plays a crucial role in reshaping clinical research. You’ll help make studies more human-centered, inclusive, and efficient. We're looking for people who are driven by purpose, inspired by innovation, and ready to roll up their sleeves to do meaningful work. At Civia, your contributions aren’t just transactional; they’re transformational.
