About the Role
Build your commercial career working with leading pharmaceutical companies.
We're looking for a commercially minded, confident, and analytical individual to join our Commercial/Business Development team as a Priority Client Quote & Contracting Associate.
This newly created role will work closely with priority pharmaceutical clients, initially supporting a major strategic account, and alongside our Business Development team to turn client requirements into accurate scopes, budgets, proposals, and ultimately contracting documentation.
What You'll Be Doing?
You'll be a key link between our clients and internal teams, helping move projects smoothly from "what does the client need?" to "what will it cost?" to "let's get it contracted."
Your responsibilities will include:
- Working with clients and BD colleagues to understand programme requirements, including products, patient numbers, countries, and timelines
- Translating agreed requirements into budgets, pricing models, and proposals
- Managing straightforward scope changes and communicating their financial impact
- Coordinating with BD, Programme Management, Legal, Operations, Data, and IT to keep proposals moving
- Managing client feedback and maintaining accurate information and version control in Salesforce
- Supporting the preparation of Statements of Work (SOWs) using approved scope and budget information
- Improving pricing tools, templates, and processes
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.
