Who/What is Artefact?

Artefact is a next‑generation strategy and data consulting firm dedicated to transforming organizations through data and AI. We combine the rigor of top‑tier strategy consulting with deep expertise in data, digital, and analytics to help clients achieve tangible business impact.

With 1,800+ consultants, data scientists, and engineers across 23 countries, we work with global leaders such as Samsung, L’Oréal, Orange, and Sanofi. Our Zurich office is at the heart of Artefact’s growth, advising clients on their most pressing strategic challenges — from AI strategy and governance to digital transformation roadmaps and new business model design.

Main Responsibilities

As a Pharma & Life Sciences Senior Consultant in our Zurich office, you will be at the intersection of strategy consulting and data/AI innovation. You will:

• Strategy Development: Work with client leadership teams (specifically in the Pharma & Life Sciences sector) to address high‑stakes questions: How can AI reshape our business model? How should we govern and organize for data? Which strategic programs deliver the most impact?
• Structured Problem‑Solving: Break down complex challenges into clear, actionable recommendations, using frameworks and methodologies rooted in classic strategy consulting, enriched by Artefact’s data and AI expertise.
• Project Delivery: Support engagements end‑to‑end, from hypothesis framing and market/competitor analysis to client workshops, governance design, and implementation roadmaps.
• Client Engagement: Collaborate closely with C‑level stakeholders and business unit leaders. Build trusted relationships, communicate recommendations with clarity, and ensure strategic alignment.
• Knowledge & Practice Building: Contribute to the growth of Artefact’s Zurich office by shaping new offerings, creating intellectual capital (frameworks, thought pieces, benchmarks), and participating in business development.

Candidate Profile

Qualifications

We are looking for an ambitious, analytically minded talent who is passionate about leveraging data and AI to solve business problems. The ideal candidate meets several of the following qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s and Master’s degree (preferred) in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Economics or a related field. An excellent academic track record is highly valued.
• Work Experience: Approximately 2–4 years of experience in strategy consulting, data/digital consulting, or business analyst roles, with a mandatory focus on the Pharma & Life Sciences sector and with hands‑on exposure to data, analytics, or AI‑driven projects.
• Pharma Domain Expertise: Strong grasp of the life sciences ecosystem, including regulatory environments, the drug development lifecycle, and digital health trends.
• Business Acumen & AI Fluency: A dual affinity for business and technology. Enjoy solving complex problems and can approach challenges in a structured, strategic way.
• Strong knowledge of data and digital technologies (e.g. analytics, AI, machine learning concepts, digital marketing, cloud platforms) is expected – tech‑savvy and eager to deepen understanding of the data/AI domain.
• Analytical & Problem‑Solving Skills: Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with an ability to draw insights from data. Comfortable handling data‑driven analysis to support decision making.
• Communication & Interpersonal Skills: Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. Able to present complex ideas clearly and adapt the message to both technical and non‑technical audiences. Experience creating impactful presentations or reports is a must. Enjoy working collaboratively in teams and liaising with clients.
• Languages: Fluency in German and English (both written and spoken) is mandatory; French is a strong plus.
• Work Eligibility: Must be eligible to work in Switzerland.

Why Join Us

• Strategy with a Data Edge: Artefact is not a traditional strategy consultancy nor a pure tech player — we sit uniquely at the crossroads, giving you the chance to build boardroom‑level strategy expertise while being at the forefront of AI and digital transformation.
• Zurich Office Impact: As part of a growing Swiss team, you will have visibility and impact from day one. Help shape Artefact’s footprint in the region and work directly with senior leadership.
• Learning & Growth: Regular training in both strategy consulting methodologies and AI/data capabilities, combined with international exposure.
• Culture of Doers: Innovation, Action, Collaboration. Entrepreneurial, fast‑moving, and committed to delivering impact while supporting each other’s growth.

This position is based in Zürich.

Don’t worry if you don’t meet all the criteria! We value motivation, pragmatic problem‑solving, and potential above all else. We’d love to hear from you and learn more about your passion for driving the AI revolution.
