Research Manager

Ready for your next step?

If you’ve built solid market research experience and are now looking for more ownership, more influence, and clearer progression, this could be the role for you.

At HRW, Research Managers don’t just “run projects” — they lead them end‑to‑end, build trusted client relationships, and play an active role in shaping how we do research.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be trusted to manage multiple healthcare research projects from start to finish, working closely with senior stakeholders and clients to deliver insight that genuinely changes decisions.

Your role will include:

• Owning projects end‑to‑end, from design through to final debrief
• Leading qualitative and quantitative research across therapy areas
• Turning complex data into clear, compelling stories clients can act on
• Managing timelines, budgets, and quality with confidence
• Acting as a key client contact and helping grow long‑term relationships
• Supporting and developing more junior researchers within the team

You’ll also get exposure to proposal writing, account development, and — if you want it — line management as you grow.

Why HRW?

We’re a global healthcare research agency with a strong reputation for thoughtful, scientifically grounded insight. But just as importantly, we’re a collaborative, supportive team that values curiosity, quality, and people who care about the work they do.

You’ll have:

• Real autonomy and trust early on
• Structured training alongside learning on the job
• Access to specialist teams (Behavioural Science, Data Science, Innovation)
• Clear development pathways — shaped with your line manager
• A culture that encourages ideas, flexibility, and progression

Requirements

Who this role is for

This role is ideal if you:

• Have around 3+ years’ experience in commercial market research
• Are confident across both qualitative and quantitative methods
• Enjoy juggling projects and building strong client relationships
• Care deeply about producing high‑quality work
• Want your next role to stretch you without throwing you in unsupported

Healthcare experience is a big plus, but curiosity and a mindset to learn matter just as much.

Benefits

What’s in it for you?

Alongside your role, you’ll benefit from:

• Hybrid working
• Strong progression and development focus
• Regular social and team events
• A genuinely inclusive, friendly culture where input is valued

If you’re at a stage where you want more responsibility, more visibility, and more purpose in your work, we’d love to hear from you.
