Working as an analyst at PharmaVentures can provide unusually broad exposure to the commercial and transactional side of the life-sciences industry. Analysts work on pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medtech and diagnostics assignments involving:
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Company or asset sales
- Strategic acquisitions
- Commercial due diligence
The role requires analysts to understand both the underlying science and its commercial implications, creating a valuable combination of scientific, commercial and financial knowledge. Analysts may work on assignments involving company founders, chief executives, business-development executives, investors, scientists, clinicians and lawyers. This builds confidence in communicating with senior stakeholders and helps develop a valuable professional network.
