Job description

At Edge Health, we use data, economics and technology to solve difficult problems in healthcare and life sciences. We work with NHS organisations, government, life sciences companies and healthcare innovators on questions where good analysis can change a decision, a service or a policy.

We are looking for a Consultant with 4+ years of professional experience, ideally in a consulting or healthcare analytics background to join our team full-time in London. You're someone who wants to lead projects and client relationships without moving away from the analytical work. Our consulting business focusses on both the delivery of projects to meet clients’ needs, and the development of repeatable propositions to take to market.

Key skills and competencies we are looking for include:

• Experience planning projects and managing them on a day to day basis;
• Interest in building long-term client relationships and becoming a trusted adviser;
• Passion for working with healthcare data, and ideally experience of having done so;
• Technical skills and experience, such as data economics, statistics, coding, data science or modelling;
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment; and
• Enthusiasm for working closely with our clients and partner organisations as well as with other members of the Edge team.

What's it like to work at Edge?

The role is deliberately a mix of consulting and analysis. At Consultant level you are senior enough to lead day-to-day client work and manage colleagues, but you are still expected to get into the substance, including: interrogating data, building or challenging a model, working with engineers and economists, and forming a view on what the analysis means.

The work is varied and often begins with a question rather than a prescribed method. We might be helping an NHS team redesign a service, evaluating the economics of a new technology, or building a tool that lets a client answer the question themselves. Because consulting, economics, data science and engineering sit closely together, people can move between these kinds of problems.

We are also small enough for people to shape what Edge does. Consultants can develop areas of expertise, start new propositions, publish work and test ideas outside client projects. We set aside two training days each quarter, and recent internal development time has produced new public tools as well as client propositions.

Edge is rated 4.9/5 on Glassdoor with 100% saying they would recommend the company. Recent reviews mention a supportive culture, interesting projects, personal development and lots of room to explore interests.
