The company
So, what’s ramarketing all about? In a nutshell, we’re a full-service B2B content, digital marketing, and design agency for the life sciences industry specializing in supporting companies that operate in the outsourcing space, drug development, and manufacturing.
We get a kick out of delivering world-class work to clients across the global drug development and contract manufacturing sector and we’re pretty proud to have over a decade of year-on-year organic, sustainable, and profitable growth under our belt.
Growing rapidly year on year, we pride ourselves on our world-class work, inclusive culture, and industry specialism. Today, we’re an 80+ strong, diverse, and talented team based in Europe, the US and Asia, supporting 65+ clients across the globe.
The industry
Although we operate in the niche that is the pharma outsourcing space within the drug development sector, it’s not essential to have come from that industry, what matters most is your B2B experience. If you don't have a science background - we have a solid training and development program for that.
Our thorough induction will cover everything you need to know to get started and we have regular training sessions with our industry experts so you’re constantly learning about this incredible sector. As we always say, you can’t train attitude!
Job purpose
This role is to manage, nurture and convert marketing-qualified B2B leads that come into ramarketing's new business pipeline via the customer acquisition team and inbound marketing to build and grow the business and successfully bring new customers into the organization.
