you.

We're seeking a leader who shares our belief that research and insights can provide the fuel for change that pharma so badly needs.


As the Head of Research & Insights, you’ll be an authority on the trends driving pharma. You understand what makes our industry tick and you have a bold vision on how it should be better.


You've mastered the craft of research, and also have an entrepreneurial drive. You're excited by the prospect of getting hands-on with business development (likely you've done this in a previous role, or possibly even tried to start something yourself). You're imaginative, creative. You want to help us grow our world-class insights team and strategize how to scale our services across pharma.


us.

Impatient Health is a catalyst for change within pharma. We connect those who believe that pharma has great untapped potential - and seek to help them through events, research and strategy consulting.


Despite being young as a company (3.5 years), we have some incredible assets – (i) knowing everyone in the industry, (ii) having an ‘independent’ positioning, and (iii) having a well-known CEO who is known as a disruptor & thought-leader.


This gives us a unique platform from which to challenge others, which is how we've built up one of the most influential networks of decision makers within this industry. Our capacity to inspire this community towards a better direction requires us to keep our finger on the pulse. And it’s only made possible by great research.

benefits.

⚖️ Work/Life Balance: We’re all aiming to strike the right work life balance. You'll get together regularly with the UK-based members of our team - while still having the flexibility to work remotely. Ultimately: we care more about outcomes than output. We want you to get the job done in the way that works for you. Craving some sun during winter? You'll be free to work from wherever you're most productive.


Learning Opportunities: Your personal development is our collective future success. In addition to dedicated regular time to progressing your career goals, we also offer 'study leave' for bigger requests - our senior leadership team are here to offer support and guidance for your development.


Culture: Remote-first doesn't need to mean distant - we’re a friendly bunch at Impatient and overcompensate for our lack of office with extra get-togethers. We'll make sure you get the face time to form connections with the wider team.
