About the Role — Please Read Before Applying
This is a dual-market final signatory role covering both the UK and Ireland. You will certify and approve promotional and non-promotional material against two codes:
- The ABPI Code of Practice (UK), administered by the PMCPA
- The IPHA Code of Practice (Ireland), alongside HPRA requirements
You will act as the named signatory who confirms each item is accurate, balanced, and a fair and truthful presentation of the facts; that it aligns with the current marketing authorisation; and that it adheres to the relevant advertising law and codes before it goes live.
The role is commercial as much as it is compliant: you will sit close to the Brand teams and help them find workable, code-compliant routes to their objectives.
Responsibilities
- Final signatory approval of promotional and non-promotional materials and activities
- Brand support for the preparation of materials and certifying their compliance
- Attend Brand Team Meetings to ensure review agendas and focuses are communicated and understood
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.
