About You

Do you want to build your career at the forefront of strategic market access consulting, helping shape how innovative therapies reach patients?

Are you passionate about working on high-impact challenges in oncology, rare diseases and specialty care, where access strategy can truly change lives?

Do you enjoy solving complex problems at the intersection of science, value, pricing and payer decision-making?

Are you looking to join a high-growth, entrepreneurial consultancy where you can learn from experienced consultants and build a strong foundation in market access?

If so, consider a career at Prescient.

We're looking for an Associate Consultant to join our Value Price Access practice, built on the expertise of Dolon, now part of Prescient.

About our Value Price Access Practice (Dolon, a Prescient Company)

With the integration of Dolon, Prescient has launched a dedicated Value Price Access practice, combining deep technical expertise with strategic advisory capabilities.

Dolon brings a strong heritage in:

• Global pricing and access strategy
• Payer insights and HTA strategy
• Access strategy in complex and high-value therapeutic areas

Our work is particularly differentiated in oncology and rare diseases, where:

• Pricing and access decisions are highly scrutinised
• Evidence requirements are complex and evolving
• Strategic choices have significant patient and commercial implications

As part of Prescient, we now deliver fully integrated strategy across Commercial, Medical, Competitive Strategy and Access, helping clients maximise asset value across the entire product life cycle.

This is a unique opportunity to join a specialist, strategy-led access team within a broader, market-leading consultancy platform.

About the Opportunity

As an Associate Consultant, you will support the delivery of high-quality, insight-led strategy projects for global biopharma clients, developing your skills across research, analysis and strategic communication under the guidance of senior colleagues.

You will contribute to teams working on critical questions such as:

• How should a novel oncology asset be positioned for optimal reimbursement?
• What evidence is required to support value in rare diseases?
• How can pricing strategy be optimised across global markets?
• What are the payer risks and how can they be mitigated early?

Your time will be broadly split across:

• ~80% project delivery
• ~20% capability building, internal initiatives and professional development

You'll be part of a fast-growing, PE-backed organisation, where you will gain hands‑on exposure to client work, start to build your expertise in value, pricing and access strategy, and develop your career within a supportive and expert team.
