I’m supporting a fast-growing, innovation-driven healthcare insights consultancy that is looking to bring in a Research Manager to join their expanding Insights team. This role would suit someone who thrives in a modern, agile, tech-enabled environment and wants to contribute to high-impact global research.

About the Role

As a Research Manager, you’ll take a key role in delivering high-quality primary research across multiple therapy areas. You’ll work closely with senior team members to manage projects end-to-end, develop impactful deliverables, and help shape best-in-class research that blends qualitative, quantitative, and digital approaches.

This is a hands-on role in a business known for its tech-led innovation, use of AI, and strong client reputation. You’ll have visibility with clients, autonomy in day-to-day responsibilities, and the opportunity to help mentor junior researchers.

Project & Client Leadership

• Act as a trusted point-of-contact for clients; stay one step ahead on timelines, needs, and next steps.
• Anticipate challenges and recommend solutions to keep projects running smoothly.
• Contribute to proposal writing, costings, research design, and strategic thinking.

Research Excellence

• Write high-quality screeners, guides, questionnaires, and debrief materials independently.
• Moderate interviews (unviewed or simple viewed interviews).
• Visualise data and build compelling reports and presentations.
• Present sections of debriefs confidently to clients.

Tech & AI Integration

• Use company-approved AI tools and platforms daily to enhance efficiency and elevate output quality.
• Encourage and support others in adopting technology.
• Embrace digital, mixed-method, and new research approaches.

Team Culture & Leadership

• Help maintain a positive, collaborative culture.
• Mentor and develop junior team members; share knowledge and elevate their confidence.
• Lead by example with professionalism, positivity, and a solutions-focused mindset.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years’ experience in pharma market research from a consultancy.
• Strong mixed-method experience (comfortable across qual and quant is preferred).
• Work ET and ability to travel (1x a month).
• Excellent project management, organisation, and communication skills.
• Confident writer and presenter with strong client-facing skills.
• Highly proficient in PowerPoint; confident in Excel and Word.
• Comfortable working across multiple projects simultaneously.
• Naturally proactive, detail-driven, and energised by doing great work.
• Passionate about leveraging AI and new technology to transform the research process.
• Must have the full right to work in the US now and in the future without restrictions.

This business values people who are:

• Positive, energetic, and fun to work with.
• Confident, proactive communicators.
• Able to think independently but thrive in a team-first culture.
• Driven, competitive in a healthy way, and proud of their work.
• Comfortable presenting, moderating, and sharing opinions confidently.
• Passionate about innovation, learning, and continual improvement.

What’s on Offer

• 15 days PTO, health cover, 401k match.
• Remote working, with flexible working hours.
• Work within a forward-thinking team that embraces innovation, new methodologies, and AI.
• Clear progression pathways, mentorship, and leadership exposure.
