Job Description

This role will be based in our modern state-of-the-art co-working facilities in Moorgate, London. This site, at the heart of London provides fantastic amenities, support services and collaborative workspaces with convenient transport links.

We are a global biopharmaceutical leader committed to enhancing the lives of individuals through a diverse portfolio of prescription medicines, oncology treatments, life-saving vaccines, and animal health products. Our unwavering dedication to delivering innovative solutions is the driving force behind everything we do.

As a member of the Digital, Operations and Systems (DOS) team, you will play a key role over a 12-month period, supporting the marketing campaigns for all human health products in the UK pharmaceutical sector. The DOS team works closely with both UK and global stakeholders to optimise customer engagement and support patients through a variety of integrated digital channels, such as virtual, hybrid, and in-person events, as well as websites and emails. Past placement students have organised training on new technologies, led our digital accessibility transition, and managed externally facing virtual events.

Our organisation is united by a shared purpose: harnessing advanced science to save and improve lives worldwide. For over a century, we have been pioneers in research, developing medicines, vaccines, and innovative solutions for some of the world’s toughest health challenges.

Requirements

  • You must be seeking a 12-month (one year) student placement in either your third or penultimate year of undergraduate study, returning to your course after the placement.
  • While ideally you will be studying Digital Marketing, Marketing, Business, or a related discipline (or equivalent qualification), all degree backgrounds are welcome.
  • An understanding of digital marketing fundamentals—such as emails, websites, and social media—is expected.

Duties

  • Support marketing teams in the execution of pharmaceutical campaigns by facilitating platform adoption and usage.
  • Assist with the deployment of new capabilities, including delivering training and support to marketing and medical teams.
  • Ensure compliance with UK regulations by conducting regular manual content checks.
  • Develop in-depth knowledge of pharmaceutical regulation, digital accessibility, and emerging digital technologies.
  • Contribute to the delivery of marketing projects, such as website updates, virtual events, and omnichannel campaigns.
