Engagement manager (competitive strategy)

About You

Do you have a passion for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry? Do you want to work across a mix of strategy consulting projects that draw from competitor, customer, medical and commercial insights? 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? If so, consider turning your expertise into a valuable career at Prescient. We welcome applications from life science professionals with project management or consulting experience within our growing Competitive Strategy practice.

About Our Competitive Strategy Practice

Prescient has three core practices: Commercial, Medical and Competitive Strategy. We deliver best-in-class biopharmaceutical intelligence, acting as a thought partner to top biopharma organizations across the world. Our offerings are designed to anticipate and respond to competitive risk across the product life cycle – from early pipeline through post-launch – delivering timely insights and strategic implications that enable integrated decision making across competitive intelligence, marketing, medical and commercial functions.

When you join this exciting venture, you will work with global healthcare and pharmaceutical clients across the full product life cycle, from discovery to loss of exclusivity, to help them unlock the full potential of their brands and portfolios.

About the Opportunity

You will be part of a fast-growing PE-backed business that allows high-performing employees to make an impact and contribute to growing the business. You will have the chance to channel your experience and know-how into supporting the development and commercialization of our clients’ assets and portfolios.

As an Engagement Manager, you will act as the day-to-day lead on small and mid-size projects or key workstreams within larger engagements. You will increasingly work through others, coaching and supporting Analysts and Consultants, making strong individual contributions and providing effective support to senior team members where needed.

You will be a core point of contact for clients, developing productive and enduring relationships and establishing yourself as a credible strategic advisor. You will help ensure projects are delivered effectively, efficiently and in line with Prescient’s high quality standards.

As most of your clients will be based in the US, the Engagement Manager position requires a good understanding of the evolving US biopharmaceutical market and trends.
