Our perspective

Turning data and research into confident decisions

Insights and analytics teams sit behind almost every commercial decision: forecasts, segmentation, launch tracking and performance. As data grows and AI tools mature, the bar for these teams keeps rising.

We recruit across the whole discipline, from primary research directors to analytics leaders and data scientists, in pharma and biotech and in the analytics consultancies and agencies that serve them. It is one of our most active areas, with live roles from Associate to Principal.
