Research Manager

Join HRW

At HRW, we help healthcare, pharmaceutical and biotech organizations make better decisions through insight-led research grounded in behavioral science. From global healthcare leaders to innovative biotech innovators, our clients trust us to uncover the reasons behind human behavior and decision-making.

Our work has earned industry recognition and multiple awards for thought leadership, particularly in behavioral science. With teams in the UK and US, and an extensive global network of fieldwork partners, we deliver impactful research across international markets.

We're equally proud of our culture: collaborative, inclusive, intellectually curious and genuinely supportive. We work hard, enjoy what we do, and celebrate success together.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a talented Research Manager with strong quantitative research experience to join our growing team.
