đź“Ť UK | đź’° Competitive Base + Performance-Related Bonus
I’m currently working with a growing healthcare and pharmaceutical market research business looking to appoint a commercially driven Director of Business Development to play a key role in their next phase of growth.
This is a true new business opportunity — you’ll be responsible for opening doors, building senior relationships and turning them into long-term commercial partnerships across the healthcare MR space.
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.
What you’ll be selling and be targeting:
- Healthcare professional & specialist audience recruitment
- Patient & caregiver recruitment
- Online surveys, interviews & other methodologies
- Flexible data-collection solutions for complex research projects
- Healthcare & pharmaceutical MR consultancies
- Healthcare communications & consulting organisations
The role will involve building the BD strategy, generating new business, developing a strong pipeline, leading proposals and negotiations, and growing strategic accounts.
Ideally, you’ll have:
- Experience selling data collection, sample, fieldwork or research services
- An established network within healthcare/pharma market research
- A track record of winning new business
- Strong senior-level stakeholder relationships
- A consultative, commercially driven approach
- The ambition to build something, rather than simply manage an existing book
