Summary

Are you currently working in healthcare market research, healthcare insights, competitive intelligence or consulting and looking for a role with greater strategic exposure?

This is an opportunity to join a growing boutique healthcare consultancy that partners with leading pharmaceutical and healthcare organisations to solve complex commercial and strategic challenges across the product lifecycle.

The team works on a broad range of projects including brand strategy, launch planning, competitive strategy, portfolio optimisation, segmentation, positioning and commercial decision-making. Their work spans global, regional and local markets, giving consultants exposure to high-impact strategic projects from an early stage.

This role would suit someone who enjoys analytical problem-solving but wants to move beyond pure research delivery and play a more active role in shaping strategic recommendations and client outcomes.

Responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the design and delivery of strategic consulting projects

• Conducting research, analysis and synthesis of complex information

• Developing client-ready presentations and recommendations

• Participating in client workshops and strategic discussions

• Managing project workstreams and timelines

• Building strong client relationships

• Contributing to proposal development and business growth activities

We’re keen to speak with candidates who bring at least 2 years experience from one of the following:

• Pharmaceutical market research

• Healthcare insights

• Competitive intelligence

• Healthcare consulting

• Pharmaceutical industry roles with strong commercial exposure

You’ll likely be:

• Commercially minded and intellectually curious

• Comfortable working directly with clients

• An excellent communicator and presenter

• Able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously

• Academically strong, with a good degree background

• Motivated by learning and professional development

What’s on offer?

• £40,000 – £55,000 base salary

• Annual bonus scheme

• £3,000 travel allowance

• Private healthcare package

• Generous pension contribution

• Enhanced parental leave policy

• Wellness allowance

• Home office allowance

• 25 days holiday, increasing with service

• Hybrid working model (2 office days per week)

• Modern office environment

• Clear progression opportunities within a growing consultancy

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to transition from healthcare market research or competitive intelligence into a true strategic consulting environment, or for consultants seeking the opportunity to make a greater impact within a high-growth boutique firm.
