About You

Do you want to specialise in drug development or commercialization strategy? Do you want to support biopharmaceutical drug development or commercialization strategy? Are you looking to become the catalyst between clinical and commercial success? Prescient is looking for seasoned consultants or engagement managers to join us as an Engagement Manager for our growing Competitive Strategy business in London, UK. 

About Prescient Competitive Strategy

Prescient Competitive Strategy, a Prescient Healthcare Group business, is a best-in-class biopharma intelligence agency providing impactful insight and decision support to product and portfolio teams from early clinical development through to loss of exclusivity.

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 advanced degree into supporting the development and commercialization of portfolios, assets and brands by integrating therapeutic, clinical and commercial expertise to ensure that clients are able to make confident decisions.

You will be responsible for executing successful intelligence and insight engagements across our clients' product and company life cycles, and for growing revenue within existing accounts. As your clients will mainly be in the US, the Engagement Manager position requires a thorough understanding of the evolving US biopharmaceutical market and trends. Many projects will also involve global client stakeholders; therefore, knowledge of drug development and commercialization in other markets is also desirable.
