  • Develop clear, compelling client deliverables that communicate complex scientific and business insights to executive audiences.
  • Collaborate closely with project teams while receiving mentorship and support from experienced consultants and firm leadership throughout each engagement.

Qualifications:

  • PhD (or expected completion prior to start date), MD, PharmD, MBA, or BA/BS/MS degree with 1-3 years of experience in life sciences strategy consulting or the biopharmaceutical industry.
  • Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex scientific or business information and draw accurate, logical conclusions through research and data analysis.
  • Demonstrated experience leading research projects, cross-functional initiatives, or small teams in academic or professional settings.
  • Demonstrated experience presenting complex concepts and findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor, collaborate with, and support colleagues in a team-oriented environment.
