Are you a highly motivated professional interested in being part of a dynamic team of self-starters, working with global healthcare and pharmaceutical clients across the full product life cycle?

Prescient is looking for an experienced Life Sciences Consulting Principal to join the Medical Strategy team in our growing Medical Practice.

• Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills that you can apply to medical strategy and planning?
• A passion for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry and a deep understanding of drug development?
• A strong working knowledge of clinical trials, GCP, FDA and EMA requirements?
• Great interpersonal skills: the ability to lead work streams and develop less experienced colleagues?
• Strong client relationship skills and an appetite to grow accounts and win new work?
• A strong focus on quality work and a commitment to delivering to a deadline?

If so, consider turning your expertise into a valuable career at Prescient.

Prescient has four core practices:
Commercial, Competitive Strategy, Medical and Value, Pricing and Access. We specialise in supporting our biopharma clients in making insightful strategic choices for their products and portfolios. The Medical Practice is the scientific engine of the Prescient platform. We are insight-led and evidence-driven, partnering with many of the world's leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies across oncology, rare disease, immunology, neuroscience and beyond.

The Medical Practice works across three core pillars:
Medical Strategy and Planning;
Integrated Evidence Strategy and Generation; and Organisational Excellence. This role sits within Medical Strategy and Planning, where we help medical affairs teams set strategic direction and plan the evidence and activities that support their products across the life cycle. Our work spans medical strategy and planning, evidence planning, literature review and synthesis and advisory work with medical affairs leaders.

As a Principal, you will lead moderately to highly complex medical strategy work streams within projects and lead client projects of low to moderate complexity, with responsibility for timely, high-quality delivery. You will run multiple work streams or projects at the same time and oversee the work of less experienced colleagues supporting your deliverables.

You will be recognised as an emerging leader on at least three client accounts, creating demand for further work from existing clients and building credibility with new ones. You will play an active role in proposal development and other business development activities, and may lead them. You will also take part in or lead internal projects that advance Prescient's capabilities.

Rigorous analytical thinking, with the ability to form hypotheses from limited information while keeping a balanced view. The ability to distil complex clinical and regulatory matters into a clear business case and roadmap for execution. An entrepreneurial, growth-focused mindset that you apply to clients, the business and the colleagues you develop.
