£50,000 + benefits

Hybrid – 2 days/week in Southwark office

Join a forward-thinking communications agency at the crossroads of science, tech, and engineering. Their mission is to help clients in healthcare, pharma, and sustainability make smarter decisions using a mix of research, data science, and creative strategy.

The team:

You’ll be joining a tight-knit and fast-growing Insight team—currently 11 researchers strong and soon expanding to 13. They specialise in mixed methods research, mostly focused on healthcare and pharmaceutical brands. Collaboration is key here: you’ll work closely with a central data science team and colleagues across the agency.

Responsibilities:

As a Research Manager, you'll take the lead on end-to-end projects from day one. You'll manage both quantitative and qualitative work, present insights to clients, and play a key role in strategy development. Your day-to-day will include:

• Running healthcare/pharma research projects from brief to final delivery
• 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
• Mixed methods research experience
• 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
