Research Manager | Pharma/Healthcare Market Research & Strategy | London/hybrid
I’m working with a growing specialist healthcare market research and brand strategy consultancy that is looking to add a Research Manager to its UK team.
This is a mid-sized, privately owned business that has grown year-on-year since launch, with a strong client base across pharma and wider healthcare. It’s a very different environment to the larger research agencies — more hands-on and a culture where everyone mucks in on projects, less hierarchy and politics, and a team where people have genuine visibility and influence.
The team is busy and growing, so they’re looking for someone who can get stuck into projects from day one and take real ownership as they develop.
The role
- Manage and deliver both qualitative and quantitative healthcare market research projects
- Take ownership of smaller projects and workstreams from design through to delivery
- Manage day-to-day client relationships and become a trusted point of contact
- Develop questionnaires, screeners, discussion guides and other research materials
- Analyse findings and identify the story and commercial implications behind the data
- Contribute to reports, presentations and recommendations
- Present findings and lead client discussions
- Get involved in proposals, pitches and account development
- Support and mentor more junior researchers
- Use AI and new technology to improve research delivery — experience is useful, but curiosity and willingness to embrace it is more important
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.
