Our services and solutions cater to pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies, healthcare providers, CROs, health insurance providers, healthtech, drug discovery, and beyond.
The Role

Your core focus will be developing proposals, requests for proposals, pricing formation and pitch materials - translating scientific and commercial contexts into compelling narratives that win business.
This role is for someone who enjoys structured thinking, works well with ambiguity, and wants real exposure to the life sciences and RWE space early in their career. Join us if start up environment is what you are looking for - to build together and grow fast.

Assist in the preparation of client meetings, conferences, and follow-up communications
Contribute to the development and maintenance of proposal templates, case studies, and a reusable content library
Collaborate with scientific, data, and technical teams to accurately represent RWE study designs, digital registry solutions, and analytical methodologies in client-facing materials
What We Are Looking For
1-2 years of experience in a Big 4 consulting firm (healthcare or life sciences practice), pharmaceutical company, healthtech, or related environment
Demonstrated experience contributing to the formation of Requests for Proposals (RFPs), proposals, or pitches in a professional setting
Strong proficiency in PowerPoint and ability to create visually clear, well-structured presentations
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English - you can translate complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives

Understanding of real-world evidence, health economics, or clinical research concepts
Familiarity with pharmaceutical drug development and regulatory pathways
Experience working with clients or stakeholders across multiple countries and cultures
