Description

Norstella unites market-leading companies that all have a shared goal of improving patient access. Each organization (Citeline, Evaluate, MMIT, Panalgo, and The Dedham Group) delivers must-have answers for critical strategic and commercial decision-making.

Together, we help our clients:

• Assess the market need and competitive landscape
• Know precisely which drugs to prioritize in their portfolio
• Find out where the launch difficulties will be—before they’re difficulties
• Track and improve market access post-launch

By combining the efforts of each organization under Norstella, we can offer an even wider breadth of expertise, cutting-edge data solutions and expert advisory services alongside advanced technologies such as real-world data, machine learning and predictive analytics. At Norstella, we don’t just deliver information and insights. We deliver answers you can act on.

• Lead the day to day execution of a client project while guiding individual team members. Serve as the main client point of contact for strategic project engagements and internal team lead. Address client questions independently and provide subject matter perspective regardless of project scope. You will take ownership of the overall project and it end products.
• Partner with internal Norstella resources to support implementation opportunities across the Norstella family of companies.
• Exhibit a client-first mentality with responsiveness, updates on market events, and facilitate discussions at end of projects to support opportunity for follow-on work discussions.
• Adhere to Norstella standards regarding engagement management, project delivery, and team collaborations.
• Maintain and update client and project documentation.
• All other duties, as assigned.

Required Experience:

• 5-6 years of experience in life sciences strategy consulting AND program management, with an emphasis in Real World Data Strategy or similar roles within biopharmaceutical / pharmaceutical commercialization
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams / teams at one time & create complete, client-ready deliverables with creative analyses for partner review

• Experience in mentorship & development of junior managers & associates
• Comprehensive understanding of life science and pharmaceutical engagement strategies and tactics, acting as a thought partner to clients
• Significant experience with data analytics and quantitative models to support strategic client engagements
• Strong team player, ability to work with cross-functional staff, but able to work autonomously with little direction.
