Clinical research organizations (CRO)
"CRO" also means clinical research organization — a different kind of company that runs clinical trials for sponsors. Fierce CRO's own network is chief revenue officers, not clinical research organizations; this cluster explains the other meaning and points you back to the right page.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a fractional chief revenue officer?
A fractional chief revenue officer (CRO) is an experienced revenue leader who works with a company part-time or on an on-demand basis instead of as a full-time executive — overseeing sales, marketing alignment, customer success and overall revenue strategy. It's also called an interim, outsourced or on-demand CRO, and it gives a company senior revenue leadership without committing to a full-time salary right away.
How do I find and hire a CRO through Fierce CRO?
Fill out "Help me find a CRO" and tell us what your company needs and which discipline fits — finance, technology, biotech, healthcare, hospital, startup and more. We show you the first name, face and basic bio of CROs in the network who match and have availability. To see full résumés and contact details, you agree to our terms and choose one of two payment options.
What does it cost to work with a CRO through this site?
You choose one of two options: a one-time $4,500 fee for 30 days of full access to CRO résumés and contact details, whether or not you end up hiring anyone; or no upfront fee, with a one-time placement fee of 10% of the CRO's first-year salary if you hire, under our terms. Either way, full contact details release only after you agree to our terms and payment is complete.
What happens after I agree to the terms and pay?
Once you agree to the terms and payment is confirmed, you get the full résumé, phone number, email and remaining details for the CRO or CROs you're interested in, so you can reach out directly.
What's the difference between this CRO and a clinical research organization (CRO)?
"CRO" is also commonly short for clinical research organization — a company that runs clinical trials on behalf of pharmaceutical and biotech sponsors. Fierce CRO's network is chief revenue officers, not clinical research organizations; see our clinical research organizations page if that's the meaning you're looking for.
How do I become a CRO in this network?
Create a free profile, add your résumé and pick the disciplines you work in — finance, technology, biotech, healthcare, startups and more. There's no cost to join or stay listed; it's free for CROs because companies pay for access and introductions.
Is this legal, tax or employment advice?
No. Fierce CRO helps companies and CROs connect; it is not legal, tax or employment advice, and engagement terms are described here only in general terms — confirm specifics with your own counsel before signing anything.
