If so, consider turning your expertise into a valuable career at Prescient. We welcome applications from life science professionals with pharmaceutical industry or consulting experience within our growing Competitive Strategy practice.
Prescient has three core practices: Commercial, Medical and Competitive Strategy. We deliver best-in-class biopharmaceutical intelligence, acting as a thought partner to top biopharma organisations around the world. Our offerings are designed to anticipate and respond to competitive risk across the product life cycle – from early pipeline through post-launch – delivering timely insights and strategic implications that enable integrated decision making across competitive intelligence, marketing, medical and commercial functions.
When you join this exciting venture, you will work with global healthcare and pharmaceutical clients across the full product life cycle, from discovery to loss of exclusivity, to help them unlock the full potential of their brands and portfolios.

In this role, you will take ownership of core analytical workstreams, working closely with Consultants, Engagement Managers, Directors and our global analysis team to deliver high-quality strategic outputs. You will be responsible for conducting rigorous research and analysis, synthesising findings into clear, compelling narratives, and contributing to the structure and direction of project deliverables.
You will bring an entrepreneurial, growth-oriented mindset to your work, contributing to team success. As you progress, you will build your presence as a trusted analytical contributor and deepen your strategic capabilities with support from experienced Prescient leaders.
As many of our clients are based in the US, this role calls for a solid understanding of the evolving US biopharmaceutical landscape and key market trends, along with a strong desire to expand this knowledge over time.

- Subject Matter Development: Build and apply growing expertise in therapeutic, clinical and commercial areas relevant to engagements; share emerging insights with the team and actively develop your understanding of scientific and market dynamics
- Conference Insights: Where relevant, support conference coverage by gathering data, summarising key presentations and contributing to post-conference deliverables
- Team Contribution: Help maintain strong team operations by collaborating effectively, sharing knowledge and supporting the development of Analysts through structured guidance on research and analytical tasks

- Strong learning agility and adaptability to new topics, project needs and changing priorities
- Ability to distil complex scientific or commercial information into simple, understandable outputs
- Ability to give and receive feedback to support continuous learning and development
- BA/BS required; an advanced degree in a life science discipline is preferred but not required
- A competitive base salary plus an extensive benefits package
- A strong values-based culture that is actively lived and promoted
- A team made up of smart and supportive people
- Leaders who are accessible and listen, ambitious for our teams, and committed to coaching and sharing their expertise
- An environment where our thinking and work are innovative, imaginative and bright
