Kx, a BGBx Consulting team, provides strategic support to executives at leading pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Consultants at Kx are critical members of every project team, helping clients solve complex business challenges by applying rigorous analytical thinking, scientific expertise, and structured problem-solving.

This opportunity is designed for graduating PhD candidates interested in applying their research training to strategy consulting. At Kx, you'll work alongside experienced consultants in a collaborative, mentorship-driven environment where you'll quickly develop consulting skills while making meaningful contributions to client engagements from day one.

  • Apply qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques, hypothesis-driven thinking, and structured problem-solving to distill complex research into actionable business recommendations.
  • Develop clinical and commercial assessments by identifying and evaluating insights from primary and secondary research sources.
  • Monitor and assess clinical, regulatory, and competitive landscapes, including clinical trials, scientific literature, conference presentations, and industry developments.
  • 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.
  • Creative, "big picture" thinking while maintaining keen attention to detail.
  • Intellectual curiosity, adaptability, and a strong interest in applying scientific expertise to strategic business challenges in the life sciences industry.

Salary range: $118,000 base plus bonus eligible.
