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.

• 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:
