The team:

• Leading client comms and presenting clear, actionable insights
• Designing mixed methods approaches (quant or qual—depending on your strength)
• Contributing to pitches and new business when needed
• Collaborating with data scientists to level up research outcomes
• Providing recommendations that influence brand, policy, and positioning

Your skills and experience:

• 3 years minimum experience in healthcare/pharma market research

• Familiarity with advanced analytics—think segmentations, regressions, key drivers
• Clear, confident communicator with a client-first mindset
• Some pitching or proposal writing experience would be a plus
