Senior Analyst - Competitive Strategy in London

Do you have a passion for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry? 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? If so, consider turning your expertise into a valuable career at Prescient. We welcome applications from life science professionals with pharmaceutical industry or consulting experience within our growing Competitive Strategy practice.

Prescient has three core practices: Commercial, Medical and Competitive Strategy. We deliver best-in-class biopharmaceutical intelligence, acting as a thought partner to top biopharma organisations around the world. Our offerings are designed to anticipate and respond to competitive risk across the product life cycle – from early pipeline through post-launch – delivering timely insights and strategic implications that enable integrated decision making across competitive intelligence, marketing, medical and commercial functions.

When you join this exciting venture, you will work with global healthcare and pharmaceutical clients across the full product life cycle, from discovery to loss of exclusivity, to help them unlock the full potential of their brands and portfolios.

You will be part of a fast-growing, PE-backed business where motivated, high-performing individuals can make a meaningful impact and contribute to the company’s continued growth. As a Senior Analyst, you will apply your therapeutic, clinical and commercial understanding to support the development and commercialisation strategies of our clients’ assets and portfolios. Your work will help project teams generate robust insights that enable leaders at top biopharma companies to “see around the corner” and make confident, well-informed decisions.

In this role, you will take ownership of core analytical workstreams, working closely with Consultants, Engagement Managers, Directors and our global analysis team to deliver high-quality strategic outputs. You will be responsible for conducting rigorous research and analysis, synthesising findings into clear, compelling narratives, and contributing to the structure and direction of project deliverables. You will bring an entrepreneurial, growth-oriented mindset to your work, contributing to team success. As you progress, you will build your presence as a trusted analytical contributor and deepen your strategic capabilities with support from experienced Prescient leaders.

As many of our clients are based in the US, this role calls for a solid understanding of the evolving US biopharmaceutical landscape and key market trends, along with a strong desire to expand this knowledge over time.
