About the Role

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 Value and Access team. The Value and Access 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.

Senior Analysts take a leading role across projects and work alongside Team Leads, 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 within existing projects.

Hybrid Working Policy: 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. At the same time, we recognise that homeworking can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments. 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.
