- Liaise with health economics and health outcomes colleagues to ensure statistical analyses are aligned with expectations across different teams, and when required, train and mentor colleagues on statistical processes and software.

- Confidently interact with clients on a regular basis, being able to provide written clarification to technical queries, present methods and results at client meetings.
- Be responsible for the day-to-day management of projects and for quality assurance activities (i.e. so that deliverables are provided at an excellent standard).
- Provide support or leadership on components of business development activities, including development of proposals for new projects.
- Proactively undertake continuous professional development and learning activities, including assisting, mentoring or line managing other team members.

- Excellent writing skills (development of presentations, reports, dossiers, manuscripts).
- Excellent accuracy and attention to detail, along with the ability to maintain high quality deliverables given competing demands and changing deadlines.
