**About You**

Do you want to be part of building and shaping the successful pharma brands of the future?

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?

Prescient is looking for bright, ambitious Associates to join our Commercial Practice team in either our Manchester or London (UK) offices.

Do you have:

- A passion for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry?
- Enthusiasm for working and achieving as part of a team?
- Great interpersonal skills?
- 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.

**About Our Commercial Practice**

Prescient has 3 core practices: Commercial, Competitor Intelligence and Medical. We specialize in supporting our biopharma clients in making insightful strategic choices for their products and portfolios. We bring together a unique blend of skills and experiences which are required to drive winning strategies. The Commercial Practice is on an exciting journey to expand our customer-centric teams to better serve our global and domestic clients. When you join this exciting venture, you will be working with global healthcare and pharmaceutical clients across the full product life cycle, to help them unlock the full potential of their brands.

The Commercial Practice specializes in the following project types: Brand strategy; brand positioning, value proposition and brand story development; disease area and portfolio strategy; life cycle management planning; new product planning; competitor strategy; workshop facilitation; and strategic customer research.

**About the Opportunity**

As an Associate, you will receive exposure to a broad mix of projects - customer research vs strategy, larger vs smaller, global vs domestic. This will enable you to get the experience to decide if you want to take a more specialised route as your career develops. You will receive a mix of formal classroom training, shadowing colleagues on projects and ‘on the job’ training to equip you with the capabilities you need to develop and progress.

You will be integrally involved in projects, working closely as the key support to more senior members of the project team. You will become increasingly responsible for taking ownership for specific tasks within a project, but with support and oversight from more experienced colleagues when you need it.

Depending on the type of project, you could be involved in designing, conducting, analyzing and presenting primary customer research; analysis of secondary desk research and internal client documents, supporting the design and organization of client workshops and the development of high quality, engaging client outputs and providing project management assistance to the project leader.

Key Responsibilities:

- Professionalism: Act with 100% professionalism at all times, demonstrating high levels of respect, integrity and support for colleagues and in our interactions with clients
- Ownership: Take pride in and full responsibility for meeting high levels of performance in work process and output; take charge of own professional development and proactively seek opportunities for growth
- Learning Agility: Demonstrate a strong willingness to learn and a 'can-do' attitude; showcase ability to gain expert status on a new topic and create an impact within the team and with clients
- Effective Time Management: Demonstrate an ability to thrive in an environment through efficient forward planning and proactivity
- Entrepreneurial Mindset: Demonstrate an ability and willingness to take risks, work in a non-hierarchical environment and take step-up/step-down roles to support strong outcomes
- Ethical Behavior: Act as a role model in line with company and client codes of ethics and processes; represent the company and promote its reputation to a high standard

Required Experience and Skills:

- Relevant bachelor’s degree or advanced degree - this should include life sciences, possibly with business/marketing component
- Previous experience in consulting, strategic customer research or brand strategy is required
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
- Strong verbal and written communication skills

**What We Offer**
- A competitive base salary plus an extensive benefits package
- A strong values-based culture which is actively lived and promoted
- A team made up of smart and supportive people
- Leaders who are accessible and listen, ambitious for our teams, committed to coaching and sharing their expertise
