Catalyst is passionate about its purpose to inspire people to design and deliver better clinical trials.
For us, that purpose comes down to love. “Love” at Catalyst Clinical Research means showing colleagues kindness, gratitude, and respect – while honoring the commitments we make to one another, our customers, and ourselves. We take our results seriously and know that with a daily dose of humility and flexibility, we can inspire one another to be our best.
Valentine’s Day provides the perfect opportunity to “share the love.” We asked members of our global team to share in their own words* what they love most about working for Catalyst.
I love the collaborative nature of my Catalyst colleagues. Anytime I connect with colleagues for guidance, I have been met with eagerness to jump in and help. It is a great feeling; being comfortable to reach out to colleagues that I may not know well or work with often and to have the confidence that it will be received with friendliness and support.

I love the culture of respect, support, and positivity. The Catalyst family is unique in that there is a great level of collaboration among colleagues and a drive to set each other up for success. The love goes beyond the workplace and great relationships are built, which enhances the success of our projects. The work-lifestyle balance is very adequate, with the right flexibility.

Genuine care for each other…to achieve things at work and in personal pursuits.
Executive Director, North Carolina
How helpful everyone is and will stop what they are doing to explain!
Associate Director, Maryland
Catalyst is truly focused on its people.
Associate Director, New York
Most of our people are industry veterans, some of whom have been around other cultures that didn’t support them the way they needed. They came to Catalyst looking to satisfy a desire to improve the lives of the patients but also to find a culture that is forward–leaning and focused on serving our people. The genuine appreciation of our people–focused culture is felt when you engage with Catalyst colleagues.

I love the sense of collaboration and supporting each other to succeed. A prime example of this was just this week – as Conference Lead I needed to pack and ship booth materials to a conference. Being UK based, and currently, without an Office Manager in Raleigh, I was unable to do this physically myself. Thankfully I had willing colleagues offering their assistance to be my ‘boots on the ground’ – from our SVP battling the storeroom and repacking the booth boxes to a project manager sorting the FedEx labels. Fabulous teamwork to get the job done! I love how flexible my colleagues are. From our marketing manager creating creative content masterpieces from my jumbled visions of needs and wants, to our Office Manager/EA in Wilmington (the Maverick to my Goose) providing me with insanely prompt answers to any queries. I love how my colleagues genuinely listen and don’t simply engage as a tick-box exercise. Thank you! I appreciate you all.

I love how we are encouraged to be active contributors at all levels. The culture of Catalyst eases the stress of having to be perfect. I feel it is a safe place to make mistakes as there can be value in both successes as well as failures. Everyone is fully committed to doing their part to contribute to the overall success of the company.
Senior Director, North Carolina
My team always shows up for me! Whenever I need support, have a question, or just need a brainstorm, they have never let me down. Our bond is strong, and I truly appreciate working with such a caring team.

Director, North Carolina
We’re all in it together, when it’s fun and when it’s not so fun. Even when it’s not so fun, no one has ever been rude to me and I think that speaks volumes to the kind of positive culture for its people that Catalyst has committed to creating.
