Jobbeschreibung

At Blue Matter, we are management consultants who foster innovation and creativity to bring meaningful impact to the life sciences industry. In our Zurich office we have an empowering and supportive team culture. Keeping our consultants and clients happy are our top priorities. We are a diverse collective of individuals (10+ nationalities / 25-30 team members) who are driven and dedicated to delivering great quality work while enjoying each other’s company. For us, work is one aspect of a fuller life and we value people who have lives outside of their professional engagements. Our office is located in central Zurich and is an important setting to our social agenda, be it lunch in the sun on our rooftop or optional monthly team building events (anything from wine tasting to ice skating).

What you will do:

As an Associate Consultant (AC) / Consultant (C) / Senior Consultant (SC), you will join a Blue Matter project team to develop creative solutions to our clients’ problems. This process usually starts by working directly with our clients to understand and define the problem, and developing insights into an impactful and actionable recommendation.














At Blue Matter we look for aspiring / veteran Consultants (AC / C / SC) that are scientifically trained (either by experience or academic accomplishments) and have a solid base across all of the following competencies, which are:

  • Critical Thinker - be able to approach a problem and understand its context and implications and work with ambiguous information to develop creative and pragmatic ideas to solve it (ideally within budget)
  • Collaborative - be able to effectively plan your own work and deliver on what you commit to doing to your project team (ideally on time)
  • Communicative - be able to transparently and concisely interact with internal and external team members both verbally and in writing (ideally in English)
  • Proactive - be able to take the initiative, be eager to learn, be receptive to feedback, and take failure in your stride (ideally with your team’s support)

We would be extra thrilled if you are:

  • Able to display a mature level of structured thinking
  • Able to integrate business, industry and academic knowledge towards creating creative solutions
  • Able to demonstrate direct biopharma industry knowledge and experience
  • Experienced in client facing environments

Mastering all of those skills will be part of your career progression, and is equally important to us as it is to you.

What we can offer you:

  • Steep learning curve working on interesting and challenging projects across our clients’ products, portfolios, and organizations
  • Projects from biotechs startups to multinational pharmaceutical corporations
  • Supportive environment to learn and grow, regardless of your skill and knowledge level
  • Being empowered to drive your development, own your work, and manage your time from day one
  • We support the wellbeing of our employees by reimbursing health-related aspects such as gym membership, sports coaching, or sports equipment
  • Cost-matching education initiatives (even if it is not work-related) for your self-improvement
  • Hybrid office and home working model (depending on project schedules), with very limited travel requirement (5-10% on average)
  • Structured onboarding program to help you learn basic consulting skills
  • Support for your developmental journey with a:
    • Peer-level buddy to help you navigate your way around Blue Matter and share their experiences
    • Senior-level career coach to support your overall professional development and career progression

    Stage 3: Meet the leadership team!
