Do you have what it takes to join our world-class team?
HEOR Analysts and Consultants
Europe & US
As a result of the continued success of our business we have opportunities for ambitious, motivated individuals to join our team in various countries throughout Europe and the US. We seek both experienced HEOR Consultants who have first project management and client management experience; and Analysts who seek the exciting, stimulating development opportunities IMS offers.
Analysts and Consultants are regularly involved in outcomes research, economic analysis of the possible impact of health care interventions and the natural history of a disease. With a diverse mix of clients, typically including the global top 20 pharmaceutical and biotech companies, our work spans the full spectrum of therapeutic and disease areas, providing challenge and variety for our people. Assignments typically require problem solving, outcomes research and economic analysis, communication and dissemination of our findings and the delivery of high quality, timely solutions to meet our client needs.
Working in teams with experienced HEOR researchers, our consultants and analysts undertake research programmes and evaluations of the impact of health care interventions and the burden of a disease.
For the Analyst positions we will consider both people with first consulting, industry and management experience in this field and also those who have just finished their Master’s degree and wish to develop their expertise in health economics consulting. The degree of management, project and technical responsibility offered will depend on the experience and ability of the individual.
For the Consultant positions the candidate will be expected to manage projects and to assume responsibility for client liaison, leading small teams and delivery to deadline. We would expect some experience in the pharmaceutical industry, in a consulting environment or at a similar level of responsibility in another organisation.
All applicants should have:
• A good first degree and/or postgraduate qualification in economics, health services research, health economics, epidemiology or a related, relevant discipline
• An understanding of economics, health economics and outcomes research
• Good interpersonal and communication skills
• Ability to undertake the critical appraisal of evidence
• Good organisational skills and the ability to balance multiple projects
• Fluent spoken and excellent written English
We are particularly interested to receive applications from people who can demonstrate:
• An understanding of, or experience with, the pharmaceutical or related industries
• Good understanding of and interest in the international health care environment
• Project management experience
• Numerical and quantitative skills, such as experience of epidemiological, financial, business or economic modelling
• Systematic review and meta analysis training and experience
The ability to deliver high quality work within timelines is essential, as is a flexible and team-oriented approach. As a significant number of our clients are based overseas, projects involve occasional international travel.
In return, you can expect the rich variety of projects – both globally and locally – that comes from working for a world-class organization such as IMS, along with the chance to work with leaders in the field of HEOR, and the support, commitment and career development framework to challenge and enhance your career on both a local and global stage – as well as the Total Reward package you would expect of working for one of the world’s leading consultancies.
