Customer Service Executive | Pharmaceutical Graduate Opportunity
£15 per hour + Bonus Scheme + Long-Term Career Prospects
There are entry-level jobs, and then there are opportunities that genuinely set somebody on a career path.
This is one of those opportunities.
We're recruiting on behalf of a highly successful pharmaceutical organisation that has built an outstanding reputation within its specialist market. Having partnered with this business for many years, we've seen first-hand the careers that can be developed here. In fact, the individual currently performing this role was placed by us around a year ago and has already secured a promotion within the commercial division.
If you're a science, life sciences or pharmaceutical graduate looking to gain valuable industry experience and build a long-term career within the pharmaceutical sector, this could be exactly the opportunity you've been searching for.
Working as part of a supportive and collaborative commercial team, you'll play a key role in helping healthcare professionals access important medicines whilst supporting a range of customer, commercial and supply chain activities. This is far more than a traditional customer service role. You'll gain exposure to the commercial side of the pharmaceutical industry, building relationships with healthcare professionals, supporting national initiatives and helping ensure that medicines reach patients efficiently and effectively.
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.
