About You
Have you decided biopharmaceutical consulting is for you? Are you looking to become the catalyst between clinical and commercial success? Prescient is looking for Analysts and Senior Analysts to join our growing Medical and Scientific Strategy team in Barcelona, Spain. Do you have experience in and a passion for:
- Supporting highly complex biosimilars, oncology, immunology, CVMD or rare disease projects?
- Distilling the key trends and implications of the complex and evolving biopharmaceutical industry?
If so, consider turning your expertise into a valuable career at Prescient.
About 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.
About the Opportunity
The role will be varied, giving you the opportunity to develop and hone new skills whilst improving your knowledge of the healthcare industry. You will receive exposure to a broad mix of projects – varied therapeutic areas, a range of client sizes, and domestic vs. global reach. This will enable you to get the experience to decide if you want to take a more specialized route as your career progresses. Our onboarding and training program will provide the support and development you need to hit the ground running; a mix of formal classroom training, shadowing colleagues on projects and ‘on the job’ coaching will equip you with the capabilities you need to succeed at Prescient.
You will have the chance to channel your intellectual curiosity into strategizing the development and commercialization of portfolios, assets and brands by integrating therapeutic, clinical and commercial expertise.

- 40% conducting secondary research and value-adding analyses on clinical, commercial and market topics
- 20% conducting primary research with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and biopharmaceutical market experts
- 40% developing high quality, engaging client outputs, including dynamic client workshops
- Reporting: You will report to an Engagement Manager within our team
- Time Allocation: 20% on domestic or international travel (for client meetings, conferences and inter-office visits), while 80% will be spent working out of your “base” location. Please note, that we do offer flexible working arrangements, enabling team members to allocate time between the office and work-from-home setting.
