JOB PURPOSE

For drugs to be successful, there must be robust health outcomes data to support launch optimization, reimbursement and maintain market position. Specifically, evidence must be maintained throughout the product lifecycle as standard of care changes, new competitors are introduced, and patents expire on existing competitors. The landscape is evolving quickly as trials demonstrating efficacy in an area of unmet need may receive expedited review, or orphan product status designation which affects both GSK and competitors launch timelines and approval requirements.

We need to better understand how our customers define value and to effectively collaborate with them to ensure we are generating value evidence data that includes real world evidence and cost effectiveness analysis that is impactful for payers, health systems, providers, and patients.

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.
