Job description
The opportunity
We're partnering with a fast-growing, independent strategic insights consultancy looking to appoint a Manager to its US healthcare team.
With a team of around 30 healthcare specialists in the US, the consultancy works with leading pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies, helping clients make strategic commercial decisions across the product lifecycle.
Primary market research sits at the heart of the business, complemented by secondary data, strategic thinking and an increasingly broad commercial perspective. The team has built a particularly strong reputation for translating complex research into clear, actionable recommendations and compelling stories that drive client decision‑making.
This is a hands‑on Manager position for someone who is already an expert in pharmaceutical/healthcare primary market research and is comfortable taking day‑to‑day ownership of multiple projects, clients and project teams.
The role
You'll take responsibility for the day‑to‑day management and successful delivery of multiple healthcare research projects, typically working across several projects concurrently.
Your responsibilities will include:
Managing full project lifecycles, from proposal development and research design through fieldwork, analysis and final delivery
Managing multiple concurrent projects, balancing competing priorities while maintaining a consistently high standard of delivery
Acting as the primary day‑to‑day contact for clients and building strong, trusted relationships
Leading project teams and managing Associates and Senior Associates on a day‑to‑day basis
Designing robust research approaches that address clients' commercial and strategic questions
Working across qualitative, quantitative and/or mixed‑method research
Overseeing research materials, fieldwork, analysis and insight development
Moving beyond the findings to identify the commercial implications, strategic story and actionable recommendations
Leading and contributing to client presentations and strategic discussions
Supporting and developing junior members of the team through coaching and mentorship
Contributing to proposals and wider business development activity
Helping develop innovative approaches and methodologies as the consultancy continues to broaden its capabilities
About you
The priority for this hire is strong healthcare/pharmaceutical primary market research expertise. This is more important than coming from a pure strategy consulting background.
You'll ideally have:
5+ years' experience within healthcare/pharmaceutical market research, life sciences consulting or a closely related environment
Strong primary market research expertise
Experience managing research projects from initial brief through to final delivery
The ability to confidently manage several projects simultaneously within a fast‑paced consultancy environment
Strong client management skills and experience acting as the day‑to‑day client lead
Experience managing and developing junior researchers
Excellent analytical skills with the ability to turn research findings into meaningful strategic and commercial recommendations
Strong communication, storytelling and presentation skills
A proactive, driven and hands‑on approach
The ability to think critically, challenge assumptions and bring new ideas to clients and project teams
Why join?
This is an opportunity to join a growing healthcare consultancy that combines established client relationships and the backing of a wider business with the agility, innovation and visibility of a boutique team.
You'll have the opportunity to:
Work with leading pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device organisations
Gain exposure to a diverse range of methodologies, therapeutic areas and commercial challenges
Work across projects spanning the healthcare product lifecycle
Have close access to senior leadership
Take genuine ownership and have a visible impact within a growing US team
Develop beyond traditional market research into broader strategic and commercial work
Progress within a merit‑based environment where advancement is based on performance and impact rather than tenure
Work within a business continuing to invest in innovation, new methodologies and AI
Join a collaborative and ambitious team that values curiosity, ownership and high‑quality work

The package includes:
$145,000 - $165,000 base salary
20 days' annual vacation
Major public holidays
Your birthday off
Typically additional closure between Christmas and New Year
Medical insurance with company contributions
