Descripción del empleo

The life sciences industry plays a significant role in advancing healthcare and improving the quality of life - in many cases, saving millions of lives globally. At BASE life science, this is the motivation for everything we do, aimed at pushing boundaries, seeking excellence, and making a lasting difference through consulting expertise and data-driven solutions.

Who is BASE life science?

Founded in 2015, BASE life science is a business and technology consulting company working exclusively in life sciences, built on a simple purpose: grow our people, and deliver real impact for our customers.

We don't think AI is a feature you bolt onto existing systems — we think it's the layer through which a life sciences company's strategy actually gets executed, end to end. Most of the industry is still proving AI can do one task at a time, function by function, pilot by pilot. We're building toward something bigger: AI that runs across clinical, regulatory, quality, and commercial work instead of stopping at the edges of a single application.

With headquarters in Denmark and offices across Spain, Switzerland, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and the US, we work with top-10 pharma and ambitious biotechs alike, and with technology partners including Veeva, Salesforce, IQVIA, Google, AWS, Microsoft, and Amass — turning that belief into deployed, compliant, sellable solutions, not slideware.

About the role

We are looking for a proactive, enthusiastic, and versatile Data Consultant to join our team in Spain.

In this role, you will work at the intersection of technology, business, and the life sciences domains, with a strong focus on data migration projects. You will help translate customer requirements into structured technical logic and support the execution of migration and data-related activities in a controlled and compliant way.

You will work with tools and platforms such as Python (Pandas, Prefect, Requests, ...) SQL, Excel, Ubuntu/Linux, VS Code, Azure DevOps, GitHub, PuTTY/WinSCP, Jira, and Confluence to analyse data, define transformation logic, document approaches, and support project delivery. At the same time, success in the role depends on your ability to collaborate closely with clients and colleagues, communicate clearly, and challenge constructively when needed.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining technical problem-solving with client interaction, and who wants to grow in a dynamic consulting environment within life sciences.

As a Data Consultant, your responsibilities will include:

• Translating business and customer requirements into clear technical logic and structured migration or data-handling activities
• Supporting the design and execution of data migration and data processing tasks in a controlled, traceable, and compliant manner
• Working with data, logic, and processes to ensure tasks are performed accurately and in a controlled manner
• Collaborating with clients and internal teams to understand needs, challenge assumptions, and propose the right approach
• Presenting technical solutions and explaining complex topics in a clear and accessible way
• Contributing to data quality, documentation, and governance best practices

We offer this position in Spain.

What makes you a great fit for this role?

We are looking for someone who is comfortable working across both technical and business-focused tasks, and who enjoys being in the middle of collaboration, problem-solving, and delivery.

To succeed in the role, you likely bring:

• A Master’s degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) or another quantitative field
• Strong proficiency in Python, including experience with version control, code sharing, and team-based development practices
• Advanced experience skills in Microsoft Office, including very good Excel skills and solid presentation skills in PowerPoint
• A structured and analytical mindset, with the ability to turn requirements into clear logic and practical solutions
• Confidence in working directly with customers, including asking questions, challenging constructively, and presenting solutions
• Curiosity, a willingness to learn, and motivation to grow your experience
• High attention to detail and a quality-focused way of working
• A proactive, team-oriented attitude and the ability to work independently when needed

Additionally, it is an advantage if you have experience with:

• PuTTY/WinSCP
• Jira/Confluence
• Working in regulated environments, including GxP
• Life sciences domains such as clinical, quality, regulatory, laboratory, safety, and commercial
• Data migration, data handling, or controlled process execution
• Consulting, client-facing work, or other roles where business and technology come together

At BASE, you work on meaningful, complex challenges at the intersection of technology, science, and business. We trust our people with real responsibility and support them in turning ambition into impact — grounded in five core values: team spirit, trust, openness, ambition, and execution.

• Ambition, encouraged through ownership and continuous learning.
• Execution — we focus on delivering solutions that work in practice.
• Openness — your ideas are heard, challenged constructively, and supported as you grow.
• Flexible ways of working, built on trust, autonomy, and balance.
• The opportunity to shape a practice, not just staff one.

Alongside this, we offer:

• Support for health and wellbeing, covering physical, mental, and social needs
• Flexible ways of working, built on trust, autonomy, and balance
• Ongoing learning and professional development throughout your career
• A modern work setup, with the tools and equipment needed to do great work
• Recognition of performance and impact, linked to contribution and results
• The opportunity to work on challenges that make a meaningful difference for patients and healthcare systems worldwide
