Associate in London

The Marwood Group is a consultancy specialising in healthcare and life sciences. We provide expert strategic consulting and advisory services to global private equity firms, institutional investors and healthcare companies. Our central London office focuses on the UK and European markets, but as a transatlantic organisation we also have locations in New York and Washington DC.

The Marwood Group is currently entering an exciting period of growth and is looking to hire Associates to join our London-based UK and Europe Healthcare Advisory team. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work within an international and multidisciplinary team comprising individuals from across Europe and the US. Marwood Group is positioned within the wider health ecosystem – working at the interface of the public and private sector. We deliver high quality work that meets our clients’ expectations and are looking for an individual interested in working with private equity investors, and who has the drive and motivation to play a key role in our fast-paced, expanding organisation.

We are looking for a talented individual with a strong understanding of policy and regulation in health or social care settings, and who is interested in developing their career in consultancy. The successful candidate will have experience working in healthcare or life science environments. This may have been developed in a consultancy environment, or through working in relevant public sector or industry bodies on policy, regulatory or market access issues. Your experience may come from the UK healthcare system, but we will also consider candidates who have developed specialist insights in health or life sciences in any major European country or through working at the EU level.

The ideal candidate will find answering complex regulatory and market questions across different geographies and sectors intellectually stimulating and satisfying. The ideal candidate will be intellectually curious, have an eye for detail and be driven by desire to continuously improve.

The Associate will be a key part of our project delivery team, helping our clients to understand the UK and European healthcare and life sciences landscape including the political dynamics, regulatory/legislative changes, and reimbursement methodologies and trends.
