Engagement Manager - Medical & Scientific Strategy

Whilst the role advertised is for our London office, we are open to applications for both our Munich and Barcelona offices also.

Do you want to support biopharma drug development or commercialization strategy? Are you a highly motivated professional looking to leverage your experience into a valuable career? Prescient is looking for seasoned consultants to join us as Engagement Managers for our growing Medical and Scientific Strategy team in London.

Do you have experience in and a passion for:

• Leading and growing client accounts?
• Supporting highly complex biosimilars, oncology or immunology projects?
• Delivering solutions based on your knowledge of the evolving US biopharma market and trends?
• Mentoring and developing account teams by using your core consultancy skills?

If so, consider turning your expertise into a valuable career at Prescient.

Prescient's Medical and Scientific Strategy practice focuses on helping biopharmaceutical clients create clinical and commercial strategies that deliver differentiated and valuable brands. Our experts with PhDs, MDs and MBAs combine deep therapeutic and functional expertise with a passion for helping develop, launch and market medicines that expand treatment options, optimize patient outcomes and deliver high levels of return.

As an Engagement Manager, your time will be divided as follows:

• 60% project delivery
• 20% client business development (mixture of existing and new clients)
• 20% Medical Advisory business growth and team-development activities

You will be part of a fast-growing PE-backed business that allows high-performing employees to make an impact and be part of our leadership team. You will have the chance to channel your advanced degree into strategising the development and commercialisation of portfolios, assets and brands by integrating therapeutic, clinical and commercial expertise to ensure that clients are able to make confident decisions.

You will join a start-up team with an established client base and play an important role in developing and implementing its growth strategy. You will be responsible for executing successful advisory engagements across our clients’ product and company life cycles, and for growing revenue within both new and existing accounts. As your clients will mainly be in the US, the Engagement Manager position requires a thorough understanding of evolving biopharma trends in these markets. Many projects will also involve global client stakeholders; therefore, knowledge of drug development and commercialisation in other markets is also desirable.

Time Allocation: 75% of your time will be spent in office, with 25% in domestic or international travel (for client meetings, conferences and inter-office visits).

• Project Management: Ensure three-dimensional management of client engagements, including design, planning, client and people management, evidence collection, analysis and reporting.
