Job description

About You

Do you want to lead strategic market access consulting engagements that shape how innovative therapies reach patients globally?

Are you passionate about solving complex access, pricing and value challenges in oncology, rare diseases and specialty care?

Do you enjoy partnering with senior biopharma stakeholders to influence strategic decisions across the product life cycle?

Are you looking to join a high-growth, entrepreneurial consultancy where you can help shape both client strategy and the future growth of the business?

If so, consider a career at Prescient.

We are looking for a Director 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 a Director, you will play a senior leadership role within the Value Price Access practice, sponsoring high-impact strategic engagements for global biopharma clients and contributing to the continued growth of the business.

You will work closely with senior client stakeholders to address critical strategic questions such as:

• How should a novel oncology asset be positioned to maximise reimbursement potential globally?
• What evidence generation strategies are required to support value in rare diseases?
• How should global pricing strategy evolve across increasingly complex payer environments?
• How can market access risks be anticipated and mitigated early in development?
• What franchise-level access and policy strategies will support long‑term commercial success?

Your time will be broadly split across:

• ~65% project sponsorship and strategic client leadership
• ~35% business development and account growth, along with people leadership, capability building and practice development

You’ll be part of a fast‑growing, PE‑backed organisation, where senior leaders play an active role in shaping client impact, team development and the future direction of the practice.

• Build recognised expertise in at least one core area of the Value Price Access offering
