About the Role

Do you have experience of successfully delivering market access, health economics, or literature review projects? Do you have experience working on projects within the rare diseases field? Do you enjoy building and maintaining client relationships? Are you looking to join a growing company offering excellent career prospects?

Costello Medical are growing quickly through demand from both new and existing clients and are therefore looking for candidates with prior experience in healthcare consulting who enjoy content delivery, as well as project and client management, to join us as Senior Analysts in our Market Access, Health Economics and Rare Diseases divisions.

• Market Access and Health Economics: The Market Access and Health Economics team plays a crucial role in ensuring new pharmaceuticals and medical devices are reimbursed and accessible to patients by creating evidence-based materials such as dossiers and slide decks, as well as health economic models that highlight their clinical and economic value.
• Rare Diseases: The Rare Diseases team plays a pivotal role in overcoming the challenges of limited treatments and evidence for the >7,000 rare diseases that have been identified. By delivering projects from across the service areas on offer at Costello Medical, they emphasize the clinical and economic value of novel therapies within the rare diseases space. Their mission is to generate fresh ideas that enable the rare diseases community to gain rapid access to groundbreaking, often life-extending treatments.

Senior Analysts take a leading role across projects and work alongside Consultants, Analysts and Project Coordinators to ensure that they are delivered to an exceptionally high standard in line with agreed timelines. This involves regular interaction with clients over email and in meetings, including providing strategic advice, as well as internally, training and supervising the Costello Medical project team. Senior Analysts are central to the quality of project deliverables and so their role involves the review of work from more junior colleagues, and the provision of constructive feedback.

You will also play a key role in contributing to business development by identifying new clients, writing proposals for projects with new and existing clients, building and maintaining excellent client relationships, and identifying opportunities to provide additional services to clients within existing projects.

You will be based in our office in Boston, which was established in 2020. This presents opportunities to shape and drive our US company; an endeavor supported by the success of our existing operations in the UK and Asia. You will work closely with our Boston-based Division Heads, who each have 7–10+ years of experience in the industry, as well as other senior colleagues in the US and globally.

Our standard working week is 40 hours, Monday to Friday, however we can also consider applicants looking for part-time hours of 30 hours per week.

Hybrid Working Policy: We recognize that home-working can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments. At the same time, we believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits, and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost.

Therefore, we offer flexible working arrangements that allow our colleagues to work from home for up to half of the time, measured across a 2-week rolling period.
