Job description

Are you curious about science, medicine, and pharmaceuticals? Do you consider yourself to be a fast learner, proactive, and diligent? FENIX continues to experience significant growth and is seeking a Life Sciences Associate Consultant to support growing global consulting engagements. Our Life Sciences Associate Consultants leverage their analytic, interpretive, scientific, and communication skills to formulate well-thought-out insights that support team decision-making and execution. FENIX Associate Consultants help derive customer insights through the conduct, management, and analysis of primary and secondary qualitative and quantitative research. They assist in writing concise, accurate summaries of industry and market events using their knowledge and context of the pharmaceutical industry as they contribute to successful project deliveries. In this role, you would have the opportunity to gain consulting experience from a team of FENIX experts, help guide and influence decision-making for a global pharma company, and develop thought leadership in exciting therapy areas.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Conduct comprehensive secondary market research (e.g., monitoring competitor websites, earnings calls, clinical trials, and patient/HCP websites)
• Identify and conduct primary market research (e.g., interviews of HCPs/KOLs, industry sources) and provide clear and accurate notes to the team
• Assist junior team members with various market-related tasks
• Develop consistent and impactful primary CI
• Cover key international conferences (either virtually or in-person), including key clinical sessions, industry booths, and collect primary research
• Develop a comprehensive congress planner
• Interpret key clinical trials
• Leverage problem-solving skills and industry research methodologies to derive insights and inform project team and client decision-making
• Conduct quantitative research data analyses
• Leverage strong project management and organizational skills to ensure that all tasks are performed in a timely manner and that all client deliverable deadlines are met

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Excellent oral and written communication skills in English (fluent or Level C2 Certificate) REQUIRED

• 1-2 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, life sciences research experience, and/or life sciences consulting PREFERRED
• Attention to detail – Ability to meticulously review deliverables before submitting them for final QC (can you spot errors in your own work?)
• Proactivity – at FENIX, we don't simply follow instructions; instead, we critically evaluate whether the instructions are complete or could be applied beyond their initial scope; in addition, providing new ideas on process improvements/efficiencies and methodologies is expected
• Resourcefulness – the ability to independently search for an answer and ask for help when needed
• Proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel); the ability to craft visual and professional PowerPoint slides from scratch is a big plus
• Demonstrated ability to work independently (good work ethic, maturity, and personal initiative), as well as ability to work as a member of a highly collaborative team
• Self-discipline for planning and organizing tasks, ensuring that no task (no matter how minor) is forgotten
• The ability to aggregate, organize, distill, and analyze relevant information to derive meaningful implications
• Flexibility and ability to adapt to changing project and client needs (while you may initially begin on one project, you may have to do other projects based on changing company needs)
• Willingness and ability to travel to domestic and international scientific congresses
• Growth mindset, with the ability to work collaboratively as well as autonomously
• Ability to think critically and strategically and make assessments keeping the "big picture" in mind, frequently asking yourself: "Does this make sense?"

• The ability to take complex information and make it easy to understand to sometimes non-scientific audiences
