Position:
Consultant or Senior Associate Consultant with newly established London office of Easton Associates, a management consulting firm dedicated exclusively to the healthcare industry. EA’s clients include companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, diagnostic, and venture capital industries.
EA’s diverse consulting assignments include corporate strategy development, product opportunity assessments, marketing strategy, business development, and due diligence. Our clients range in size from start-ups to multi-nationals and are U.S. and Europe-based. Our U.S. office is located in midtown Manhattan in New York City, and we are opening a London office in October of 2008.
Description:
Easton Associates is looking to grow the London office by adding two consulting positions. These consultants will join an existing team of five professionals who are building a staff of up to fifteen consultants within the next several years.
A candidate with a Ph.D. in an area related to healthcare (biology, pharmacology, medicine) is sought. The ideal Ph.D. candidate will be a current U.K. resident, have familiarity with the Italian or Spanish healthcare systems, be fluent in either Italian or Spanish and have 2+ years experience in industry following their Ph.D. Candidates without industry experience will be considered.
Consultants and Senior Associate Consultants are integral members of EA teams and contribute to all levels of the consulting process. EA consultants in our London office will work on projects managed by either London or U.S.-based managers, but are responsible for the day-to-day management of their assignments and have regular interactions with clients. Specific responsibilities include: analyzing scientific, clinical, financial and strategic information to discern the business implications of new technologies and emerging trends; conducting primary research interviews with clinicians, thought leaders, and executives in the healthcare industry and related fields; managing and mentoring junior staff; and preparing and presenting written reports to EA senior management and clients. Consultants would support the management team in writing proposals and developing the European business by helping to prepare marketing materials, participating in marketing calls and representing Easton Associates at conferences and congresses as required.
This candidate would provide specific scientific expertise within the London office. They would serve as a firm-wide resource for people with weaker scientific backgrounds. The candidate should have a strong ability to mine scientific and clinical research databases and have some limited modeling skills and basic financial knowledge.
Qualified candidates must be able to understand and clearly communicate the clinical and business implications of technically complex products and services. Candidates should possess strong analytical skills and a deep interest in healthcare. EA seeks candidates with strong verbal and written communication skills. Candidates must be fully proficient in Microsoft Office (Power Point, Word and Excel). Candidates should be strong team players, take initiative, and think strategically and creatively.
EA takes a long-term approach toward hiring. Consultants follow a clearly defined career path and continue to deepen their knowledge in the field of healthcare and the practice of consulting.
