Job description

We are seeking a Senior Associate of Investment Analytics to join our dynamic investment team at Pivotal Life Sciences. While at its core this is an investment role, the ideal candidate will also bring computational biology, generative AI, data science, or similar computational skills that can be leveraged to drive informed investment decisions in the therapeutic sector. You will play a crucial role in assessing investment opportunities, analyzing market trends, and collaborating closely with our data science team to develop AI-driven tools that enhance investment decision-making and returns.

• Build relationships with industry experts, portfolio companies, and other stakeholders to gather insights and foster collaboration
• Stay abreast of industry trends, regulatory changes, and technological advancements relevant to biotech and healthcare investments

Requirements:

• PhD, MD, or other advanced degree in life sciences
• 2-5 years’ relevant work experience in a role that involves financial modeling and investment analysis in the biotech or healthcare sectors, such as biotech or healthcare investment banking/equity research, healthcare strategy consulting, or business development at a life sciences company. Public investment or transaction experience will be viewed positively.
• Demonstrated skills in computational biology, AI, data science, or similar that can be applied to investment decision-making. Prior experience applying one or more of these skills to deal sourcing, investment idea generation, or due diligence is a plus
• Solid understanding of biotechnology, biology, and therapeutic development processes
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen attention to detail
• Ability to communicate complex information clearly and effectively to diverse audiences
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
