Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will also contribute to forecasting and OPEX reviews, lead agency relationships, support key congress and promotional activities, build relationships with key external experts and provide UK input into global strategic and operating plans.
Your Qualifications
To succeed in this role, we imagine you bring deep pharmaceutical marketing expertise, proven launch experience, commercial acumen, analytical capability and the ability to lead through influence in a complex cross-functional environment.
We are looking for someone with:
- A Bachelors degree in Pharmaceutical Marketing, Brand Management or related subject, or equivalent by example (an MBA is a welcome bonus)
- Significant brand-management expertise, ideally in specialty care, driving measurable growth
- A track record of launching products successfully in competitive, specialist UK markets
- Combined strategic vision with tactical know-how to develop and execute high-impact, multichannel campaigns
- Advanced analytical skills for demand forecasting, budget stewardship, market insight generation, and performance optimization
- Dermatology experience is desirable but not essential.
You will thrive in this role if you are results-driven, resilient, confident navigating ambiguity and able to simplify complexity while inspiring collaboration across teams.
