A strong track record leading large, complex, multi-market quantitative tracking, ATU or syndicated programs across multiple waves and parallel workstreams.
Strong research and analytical credibility, including the ability to understand and challenge questionnaire design, sampling, KPI frameworks, analysis, interpretation and reporting; this is not a pure project management role.

A proactive and structured approach to problem-solving, with evidence of intervening early and leading complex issues through to resolution.
Experience of dashboard or automated reporting deliverables and a strong interest in advanced analytics, automation and AI-enabled insight generation.
Experience collaborating across geographies and with offshore or specialist delivery teams.
Commercial awareness, including the ability to protect scope, recognize change, support program sustainability and identify opportunities to add value.
Clear, confident communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to make complex topics understandable and drive decisions.
Desirable experience
Experience leading a large-scale global program for a major pharmaceutical client.
Experience of programs that combine shared global standards with market- or therapy-area-specific requirements.
Exposure to dashboard development, advanced analytics, automation or AI-enabled market research solutions.
Experience contributing to program transformation, renewal or expansion.
Leadership profile
Visible, credible and assured, with the presence to lead senior colleagues and client stakeholders.
Proactive and curious, spotting risks and opportunities before being asked.
Analytically minded and able to move comfortably between the strategic picture and delivery detail.
A constructive challenger who creates accountability without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
Calm, decisive and transparent when dealing with pressure, ambiguity or competing priorities.
Collaborative and inclusive, with a genuine commitment to building a successful one-team culture.
Motivated by continuous improvement and by turning innovation into practical client value.
