CSEC Integrated Research
CSEC Integrated Research is part of the IQVIA Global Primary Intelligence and Primary Market Research Business Unit, that sits within the Commercial Solutions Excellence Centres (CSEC) organisation. We focus on understanding the behaviours and attitudes of Health Care Professionals and patients to support international pharmaceutical companies to understand them as people. This is across the whole of the product lifecycle. We explore and measure what Health Care Professionals and patients say and do to deliver actionable insights and clear answers to our clients’ business questions. We typically use behavioural frameworks, AI tools and IQVIA data to support our research. We collaborate with other IQVIA teams to provide our clients with comprehensive solutions to their business issues.
The Role
In this role, you will take ownership of the delivery of complex primary market research and integrated research projects, ensuring high-quality outputs, strong client satisfaction, and successful project outcomes. You will work closely with clients and internal stakeholders to translate business challenges into actionable research solutions, while managing project delivery from proposal through to final presentation.
As a key member of the team, you will contribute to business development initiatives, support innovation across research methodologies, and help develop less experienced team members. We are looking for intellectually curious, client-focused professionals who can combine strong analytical capabilities with excellent project management and communication skills to help drive impact for our clients across the life sciences industry.
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.
