Job description

About you

Do you have a passion for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry?

Do you want to work across a mix of strategy consulting projects that draw from competitor, customer, medical and commercial insights?

Are you a highly motivated professional interested in being part of a dynamic team of self-starters, working with global healthcare and pharmaceutical clients across the full product life cycle?

About Our Competitive StrategyPractice

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, and 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.

About the Opportunity – Senior Consultant

You will be part of a fast-growing, PE-backed business that enables motivated, high-performing individuals to make an impact and contribute to the company’s growth. In this role, you will apply your therapeutic, clinical and commercial understanding to support the development and commercialisation strategies of our clients’ assets and portfolios. You will help project teams generate insight-led recommendations that enable leaders at top biopharma companies to “see around the corner” and make confident, well-informed business decisions.

You will need strong project management, communication and client-facing skills, as you will work closely with Engagement Managers, Directors and our global analysis team to deliver high-quality strategic work effectively and efficiently. You will contribute to shaping the story, structuring analysis, and ensuring the clarity and robustness of outputs.

You will bring an entrepreneurial, growth-oriented mindset to your work, supporting the client, the business and your project team. Over time, you will build your presence as a credible strategic partner to client stakeholders, with guidance and oversight from senior Prescient leaders.

As many clients are based in the US, this role requires a solid understanding of the evolving US biopharmaceutical landscape and key market trends, and an eagerness to deepen this knowledge continually.

• Client Management: Participate in client meetings, support the communication of findings and collaborate with project leadership to ensure clients experience best-in-class service
• Subject Matter Expertise: Leverage your expertise in therapeutic, clinical and commercial areas relevant to client engagements; share emerging insights with the team and support Analysts in understanding key scientific and commercial concepts
• Conference Support: Attend relevant conferences where appropriate to gather insights, engage with experts, and support the team in capturing and synthesising key learnings from presentations, posters and booths
• Team Development: Contribute to a positive team environment by supporting junior team members, offering guidance on analytical approaches and helping maintain a high standard of structured, impactful insights

• Strong results orientation, demonstrated by:
  • Consistently producing high-quality deliverables and contributing effectively to project outcomes
  • Successfully managing client relationships through clear communication and strong stakeholder alignment
