About the Opportunity

As a Consultant, you will receive exposure to a broad mix of projects - customer research vs strategy, larger vs smaller, global vs domestic. This will enable you to get the experience to decide if you want to take a more specialised route as your career develops.

Depending on the type of project, you could be involved in designing, conducting, analyzing and presenting primary customer research; analysis of secondary desk research and internal client documents, supporting the design and organization of client workshops and the development of high quality, engaging client outputs and providing project management assistance to the project leader.

Key Responsibilities:

• Professionalism: Act with 100% professionalism at all times, demonstrating high levels of respect, integrity and support for colleagues and in our interactions with clients
• Ownership: Take pride in and full responsibility for meeting high levels of performance in work process and output; take charge of own professional development and proactively seek opportunities for growth
• Learning Agility: Demonstrate a strong willingness to learn and a 'can-do' attitude; showcase ability to gain expert status on a new topic and create an impact within the team and with clients
• Effective Time Management: Demonstrate an ability to thrive in an environment through efficient forward planning and proactivity
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: Demonstrate an ability and willingness to take risks, work in a non-hierarchical environment and take step-up/step-down roles to support strong outcomes
• Ethical Behavior: Act as a role model in line with company and client codes of ethics and processes; represent the company and promote its reputation to a high standard
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills that you can apply to building successful brand strategies?
• A passion for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry?
• Enthusiasm for working and achieving as part of a team?
• Great interpersonal skills?
• A strong focus on quality work, and a commitment to delivering to a deadline?
• Relevant bachelor's degree or advanced degree - this should include life sciences, possibly with business/marketing component
