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.

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
