Research Manager / Junior Associate Director - Healthcare Market Research

Boutique, International Agency | Remote Working | Up to £60,000

If you're a hands-on quantitative researcher who loves variety, international exposure, and working in a close-knit team, this could be the perfect next step.

This boutique healthcare market research agency has been evolving fast - new leadership, fresh energy, and a focus on scaling growth. They're known for high-quality, impactful research across the pharma and biotech sectors, and their in-house physician panel gives them a real edge in the market.

The Role

You'll take the lead on a mix of global, cross-market, and domestic studies, with a particular emphasis on quantitative research (around 80% of your workload). There's plenty of scope to get involved in qualitative work too - and to build that skillset if you want to.

You'll be working across therapy areas such as oncology, haematology, and autoimmune conditions, with projects spanning commercial strategy, product development, and market entry.

Day-to-day, you'll:

• Manage global and German market research projects from design to delivery (tracking, segmentation, demand, conjoint).
• Support proposal writing and contribute to client pitches.
• Collaborate with a supportive, senior-led team while taking ownership of your own work.
• Get exposure to both quant-heavy and mixed-method projects.

About You

• Experienced in healthcare/pharma market research (agency-side preferred).
• Strong in quantitative methods, with an interest in building qualitative skills.
• Confident running projects end-to-end and presenting to clients.
• Comfortable juggling multiple projects in an international setting.

Why Join?

• Work in a close-knit, collaborative team of just 11 people - small enough to make a big impact.
• Be part of an agency in growth mode, with fresh leadership and exciting plans.
• Enjoy variety: international and domestic work, multiple therapy areas, and a mix of methodologies.
• Flexible location - UK or Germany - with a hybrid approach.

If you want to combine hands-on research with the chance to shape the future of a growing healthcare agency, this is your opportunity to step up and make your mark.
