As part of the PI group within IQVIA, we help clients build a marketing strategy for their brands using a combination of market research, secondary data and consulting services.

We answer these questions using our analytical skills, communication, and strategic thinking and are looking for smart people with these skills.

If you are analytical, passionate about healthcare, love working in teams, and want to help our clients bring new and exciting medicines to patients, then this is the right job for you.
