- Demonstrated experience contributing to the formation of Requests for Proposals (RFPs), proposals, or pitches in a professional setting
- Strong proficiency in PowerPoint and ability to create visually clear, well-structured presentations
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English - you can translate complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives
Required
- Understanding of real-world evidence, health economics, or clinical research concepts

- The opportunity to work on cutting-edge RWE projects across Europe, MENA, and emerging markets
- Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
- In person meetings and all company field trips
- Flexible working arrangements - remote-first within Europe, preference for Barcelona-based candidates
- A collaborative, international team that values intellectual curiosity and initiative over hierarchy
- The chance to grow with a company at an exciting stage of its development
We recognise that great talent does not always follow a linear path. We also encourage applications from:
