Why this is worth applying to

Worth considering only if you can demonstrate market research panel operations, clinical trial patient recruitment, CRM/paid acquisition, or community growth leadership. Otherwise this is a stretch for a first non-clinical move because it is a director-level operations role with direct reports.

Who should apply

Clinicians with experience in clinical trial patient recruitment, healthcare market research, patient registries, HCP outreach, panel management, CRM/database marketing, paid acquisition, or membership/community growth. Nurses, pharmacists, doctors, and allied health professionals who have led recruitment or engagement operations may be credible candidates.

CV angle

Reframe real clinical and research experience into panel growth, recruitment operations, patient/HCP engagement, database hygiene, compliance/privacy, vendor management, and cross-functional leadership. Quantify reach, conversion, retention, and budget or campaign outcomes only where true; do not present clinical duties as market research experience without a clear bridge.

Skills to highlight

  • Panel management
  • Patient and clinical trial recruitment
  • Healthcare professional engagement
  • CRM and database marketing
  • Paid acquisition and social media recruitment
  • Data hygiene and deduplication
  • Privacy and compliance management
  • Budget tracking and vendor management

Role summary

Lead a market research participant recruitment division, including panel growth, recruitment operations, database health, paid and social recruitment channels, feasibility support for clients, and supervision of recruitment staff.
