Project Manager | Healthcare Market Research

We're partnered with a fast-growing, specialist healthcare market research consultancy with a strong reputation for delivering insights that go beyond expectations. Since its founding, the team has built a collaborative, international culture while maintaining a flexible, agile way of working.

This is a company that excels for its clients, offering a highly consultative approach across both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. With continued growth, excellent client retention, and an impressive portfolio of projects, this is an exciting opportunity to join a team where your impact will be highly visible.

The role:

As Project Manager, you'll be the operational backbone of research delivery, owning projects end-to-end across mostly the UK but with some exposure to the US markets. You'll work predominantly on qualitative projects (around 70%) with a mixed-methods element, sitting within a small, experienced team and reporting directly into a Senior Project Manager.

This is a new role, created off the back of continued growth,  meaning real ownership from day one.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading QL and QT projects from internal kick-off through recruitment, fieldwork, and final deliverables
• Selecting and briefing suppliers; building strong vendor relationships to improve delivery quality and value
• Planning and monitoring timelines, maintaining recruitment and fieldwork trackers, and keeping milestones on track
• Analysing supplier cost proposals and supporting competitive rate negotiation
• Validating invoices and supporting P&L review meetings to ensure financial accuracy
• Ensuring compliance across all workstreams, including AE reporting and data protection requirements
• Identifying risks early, escalating where needed, and implementing fit-for-purpose mitigations
• Running project close-outs and capturing lessons learned to drive continuous improvement
• Producing accurate, client-ready documents and presentations with minimal revision
• Mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to a collaborative, knowledge-sharing culture

What we're looking for:

• 2–4 years of project management experience within a pharma or healthcare market research, analytics, or insights consultancy
• Proven end-to-end delivery of QL and QT projects, from recruitment through to deliverables
• Solid understanding of qualitative methodologies; mixed-methods or quant exposure a bonus as the business continues to grow in this area
• Experience with supplier selection, briefing, and performance management
• Familiarity with compliance requirements in a market research context, including AE reporting and data protection
• Highly organised with strong Excel and tracker skills
• Clear, confident communicator: both written and verbal, with clients, suppliers, and internal teams
• Calm under pressure, structured in your approach, and comfortable managing multiple priorities
• A proactive, detail-oriented mindset, someone who takes ownership, asks the right questions, and sees things through
• Based within commuting distance of London (hybrid, 2 days in office)
• Full right to work in the UK now and in the future without restrictions

What's on offer:

• £35,000–£40,000 + discretionary bonus
• Clear development pathway within a growing business
• A genuinely collaborative, supportive team culture
• Exposure to a broad range of therapeutic areas and international markets
• Join a business with great reputation amongst clients and employees
