Job description

About You

Do you want to take on senior ownership of strategic market access consulting, shaping how innovative therapies reach patients?

Are you passionate about leading teams through 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, while building the people and capabilities around you?

Are you looking to join a high-growth, entrepreneurial consultancy where you can hold senior client relationships, sponsor projects, and help shape the direction of the practice?

If so, consider a career at Prescient.

We're looking for an Engagement Manager 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 Engagement Manager, you will take on both project management and project sponsorship responsibilities - acting as the transition point between overseeing day-to-day delivery and holding senior accountability for client relationships, team leadership and practice growth.

Engagement Managers are members of practice leadership teams focused on key accounts, contributing to growth targets and helping to shape the overall strategic direction of the Value Price Access practice.

You will work across a range of project types, including product-level pricing, access and value projects, and cross-portfolio strategy and policy work. While the ability to work across the breadth of the practice's service lines is important, Engagement Managers are expected to develop particular depth in specific service offerings, and are staffed on projects that reflect their expertise and interests where possible.

You will work on critical questions such as:

• How should a client's overall pricing and access strategy evolve across a full portfolio?
• What evidence and value narrative is required to support access in rare diseases?
• How can pricing strategy be optimised and defended across global markets?
• What are the payer risks across a programme, and how can they be mitigated early?

Your time will be broadly split across:

• ~60% project delivery and project sponsorship
• ~40% team leadership, client development, and practice-building initiatives

You'll be part of a fast-growing, PE-backed organisation, where senior consultants can shape both client impact and the future of the practice.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Project Delivery

• Manage and increasingly sponsor multiple value, pricing and access strategy projects across the product life cycle, including complex, higher-value engagements
• Write and oversee project proposals, defining scope, methods and budget
• Plan and monitor project resources and timelines across concurrent engagements
• Facilitate client workshops and advisory boards
• Provide strategic direction to project teams, ensuring translation of research and evidence into insights and recommendations
• Define and oversee data analyses, with support from Prescient's Data & Analytics capabilities
• Oversee the quality and content of deliverables produced by the project team
• Deliver reports, analyses and presentations to senior client stakeholders

Client Engagement

• Act as a key point of client contact throughout a project
• Build long-term partnerships and trusted relationships with clients
• Work with existing clients to identify new and follow-on projects
• Cultivate business leads and opportunities with new clients

Business Development Support

• Draft and oversee project proposals and pitch materials
• Support thought leadership, particularly in oncology and rare diseases
• Identify and develop opportunities to expand client engagements and secure follow-on work
• Contribute to broader business development efforts across the Value Price Access practice

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with colleagues across Commercial, Medical and Competitive Strategy practices
• Contribute to integrated, cross-functional client solutions
• Provide input into the practice's overall strategic direction

Team & Practice Development

• Hold day-to-day line management responsibility for Analysts and Consultants
• Coach and mentor staff, identifying training needs and opportunities
• Conduct performance reviews for direct reports
• Direct and collate the work of junior team members, ensuring quality and validity of research and analysis
• Contribute to internal knowledge building, training programmes and best practices
• Help shape the growth and strategic direction of the Value Price Access practice
• Represent the practice through conferences and thought-leadership activities

Travel

Prescient is an international company, and our clients are typically based at global headquarters in leading biopharma hubs (e.g. Boston, Switzerland). Engagement Managers are expected to travel as frequently as necessary for projects (client meetings, workshops), marketing purposes (conferences, business development), and internal meetings, to ensure successful delivery of projects and strong client relationships.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Excellent communication, writing and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas clearly to senior stakeholders
• Ability to lead teams, build relationships and manage timelines across multiple concurrent projects
• Education: BA/BS required; advanced degree (PhD, MSc, MBA, MPH or similar) preferred in health policy, health economics, business or life sciences

What We Offer

• The opportunity to join a specialist, strategy-led market access consultancy within a global firm, with a clear path toward practice leadership
• Exposure to high-impact, senior client relationships in oncology, rare diseases, and innovative therapies
• A high-growth, entrepreneurial environment where you can shape both client impact and the future of the practice
