Overview
IQVIA provides scientific solutions spanning clinical trials, real world evidence, and consulting in all areas of the drug product lifecycle. The Instrument Licensing Solutions and Patient & Site Strategy (ILSPSS) team leads the industry in generating data to ensure that the patient voice is incorporated into the development and commercialization of medication and other drug/non-drug interventions. We focus on understanding and meeting the needs of our clients through the application of broad consulting expertise and technical scientific knowledge to conduct scientifically rigorous research. This research is broad and includes qualitative (e.g., interviews, focus groups), quantitative (e.g., clinical outcome assessments (COAs)/patient-reported outcomes (PROs), preference research) and passive (e.g., digital health technology tools) approaches to understand patient, caregiver, and healthcare professional experiences and expectations of disease and treatment. The team also manages and licenses out a COA portfolio of over 100 instruments and offers linked services to translate and implement these COAs on any electronic survey platform.
To meet our client expectations and retain the excellent reputation built up over time the IQVIA ILSPSS team is committed to recruiting and supporting driven individuals who have life science, consulting, and/or product development skills that can be applied to ILSPSS offerings. Individuals joining us are assured of a rewarding and progressive career in patient-focused research. You’ll have the opportunity to address challenging client issues, across multiple geographies with a hands-on influence in developing and delivering solutions. We operate in a truly multi-cultural, collegial and collaborative work environment that is rich in development and growth.
Role & Responsibilities
The role holder is a committed individual, who combines high business intelligence, excellent leadership skills, strong consultative abilities, and product management experience. He/she will thrive in a fast-paced environment, be comfortable managing conflicting priorities, and can engage with diverse customers and support a team of senior management stakeholders. The environment is dynamic and ever-changing, moving at the pace of our clients’ and business’ needs. The role holder will be expected to successfully support a portfolio of high-visibility COA products from both a business and lifecycle management perspective (e.g., new development, modifications, line extensions).
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
