Due to the high volume of interest in our roles, we make every effort to review each application. However, if you do not hear from us within 14 days, please consider your application unsuccessful on this occasion.

Once you submit your application you can expect to receive automated notifications from our system. Our selection process consists of a Teams audio screening call with a recruiter, followed by an online assessment, then a more formal video interview with a hiring manager. Our end-to-end recruitment process may last between 3 to 6 weeks. You can expect to hear back from us within 2-3 weeks (on average) regardless of outcome.

We celebrate our differences and strive to create a workplace where each person can be their authentic self. We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Employees are encouraged to unleash their innovative, collaborative, and entrepreneurial spirits.

All applications to roles at ProPharma are personally reviewed by a member of our recruitment team. We do not rely on AI screening tools to support our hiring process. You will always receive an outcome to your application so that you have an answer from us - whether you're successful or not.

Whilst ProPharma supports remote working, we also recognise the value that comes from in person collaboration. As such, we encourage any new hires that are based within a reasonably short commute of one of our offices to work on a hybrid basis and spend some time working from that office location, as agreed with your manager.
