Looking to grow your team?
With founders who come directly from bipharma backgrounds, being truly embedded in our sectors is at the heart of our success.
Our deep industry knowledge allows us connect life sciences talent with leading organisations.
Within the healthcare sector, Market Access is the complex and protracted process that Pharma and Biotech companies have to go through in order to ensure that their medicines are made available in as many countries as possible while ensuring these medicines are reimbursed and made available to the patients who need them.
You’ll also hear phrases such as ‘Pricing and Reimbursement’ (P&R), ‘Health Economics and Outcomes Research’ (HEOR) and ‘Payer (or Payor) Research’, and ‘Cost Effectiveness’. Market Access is the broad term that encompasses all of these things.
Market Access has become increasingly important over the last 5 to 10 years as more high-tech and expensive drugs have come to market, while at the same time there have been enormous pressures on governments and/or healthcare systems to cover the costs of their drug bills. A good example is the UK market, where the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) plays a pivotal role in deciding whether or not new treatments are cost-effective.
We recruit for the following roles within Market Access, HEOR & RWE:
- HEOR Manager / HEOR Senior Manager / HEOR Director / HEOR Associate Director
- Global HEOR Director / Head of Health Economics
- Health Economist / Senior Health Economist
- Market Access Medical Writer
- HTA Manager / Senior HTA Manager
- Health Economic Modeler / Systematic Reviewers
- Epidemiologist
- Biostatistician
- Market Access Analyst / Market Access Manager

It was a refreshing change to have such personal and thoughtful attention during the recruitment process. It really has set such a high standard.”

Matt Goldrick is not your typical recruiter - you actually look forward to answering his calls!
Looking to forward a career direction from Global Health back into Pharma was no small feat. However, having Matt on my side, who spent time to get to know me and my capabilities, meant it was filled with many opportunities, conversations and support.
I had strong values and criteria for who and where I wanted to be next and Matt supported me with those needs - providing me with breadth of options and realistic discussions on whether opportunities were right for what I wanted.
He partnered with me and stood by choices, in a job market that sometimes felt like a microcosm of the Hunger Games.
He presented every opportunity fairly, and with comprehensive information and insight.
I highly recommend Matt and Carrot Pharma for your healthcare research career goals!
Worked with an amazing recruiter called Lucy Eyre. Despite being a recruitment agency that mainly gets senior positions she called to get in touch about an entry role. Guided me through the whole process and encouraged me and gave me tips.
Update: Chris reconnected, and this time, we were successful in securing my next role. Chris has been both supportive and engaged every step of the way. If you are in Healthcare Market Research, please hit up Chris.
I had the pleasure of working with Chris Newall from Carrot Recruitment during my job search in healthcare market research. Although I ultimately accepted a direct offer from an employer, I can’t recommend Chris highly enough. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand my skills, career goals, and preferences, connecting me with a range of exciting opportunities. His extensive network and industry knowledge opened doors to multiple interviews that I wouldn’t have found on my own.
Beyond just presenting job options, Chris provided invaluable guidance, insightful advice, and a genuinely personal approach that made the entire process seamless. His professionalism, dedication, and support set him apart, and I’m truly grateful for his help. If you're looking for a recruiter who goes above and beyond, Chris is the person to have in your corner!
Had a five-star experience from my first contact with Lucy all the way to my first day of work. She was incredibly helpful every step along the way and was always happy to help out and answer any questions. She always kept me in the loop and let me know about the next steps, making me feel at ease during the whole process. Thank you again, Lucy, really appreciate it!
Working with Kerry was an absolute pleasure. They took the time to answer my questions, provided invaluable interview preparation, and kept me informed at every stage. Thanks to their dedication and support, I secured a new role that I am very happy with.
Kerry has been an excellent help throughout the recruitment process and even whilst settling into my new role !
I had a fantastic experience working with Chris throughout my job search. From the very first conversation, he really took the time to understand what I was looking for, not just in terms of role, but also the type of environment and opportunity I wanted to step into.
What stood out most was how supportive and proactive he was at every stage of the process. He kept me well prepared, gave honest and constructive advice, and was always available to talk things through. His communication was excellent throughout, and I always felt well informed and confident going into each stage.
Thanks to Chris, I’ve secured a role that genuinely feels like the right next step for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a recruiter who is not only professional and knowledgeable, but also genuinely invested in getting the right result.
I have had a brilliant experience working with Louise at Carrot Recruitment. When we first spoke, she really listened to what I was looking for in my next role. There was nothing suitable available at the time, but when a great job came up months later, she remembered what I was looking for and helped me through the application process. I was offered the job, and Louise continued support me in the lead-up to my start date. She made getting a new job very easy! Thank you Louise
I spoke to a consultant called Abi Taylor on the phone who was very helpful with giving the correct advice on my career search.
