Formed through the merger of IMS Health and Quintiles, IQVIA offers a broad range of solutions that harness the power of healthcare data, domain expertise, transformative technology, and advanced analytics to drive healthcare forward.

Who We Are IQVIA Medical Communications at IQVIA are experts in planning, designing, creating and delivering highly interactive, engaging and impactful events. Our purpose is centred around a desire to improve healthcare and deepen our understanding of human behaviour. Our team is a tightly knit, collaborative, and intellectually curious group of people with a unique blend of backgrounds and global experience. We are in search of an Event Project Support Specialist to join our team to support the successful planning and delivery of our live Events.

Event Project Support Specialist The Event Project Support Specialist role is much more than a traditional administrative support position. Our Strategic Meetings & Events (SMNE) team manages complex international healthcare events involving multiple stakeholders, healthcare professionals, clients, suppliers, compliance teams, finance teams, and internal teams across different countries and time zones.

Because of the complexity of our projects, we are looking for someone who is highly organized, proactive, flexible, and eager to learn. The successful candidate must be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly and where no two days look the same.

One of the most important qualities we are looking for is initiative. We need someone who can work independently, identify what needs to be done, and take ownership of tasks without waiting for detailed instructions. This is not a role for someone who simply executes requests; we need a team member who is curious, resourceful, and capable of solving problems and moving work forward proactively.

This position is home based in collaboration with a global team at IQVIA and with our clients and healthcare professionals.

• Interacting and developing relationships with Clients, Suppliers and IQVIA stakeholders on a regular basis to support project deliverables
