• Strong research, analytical and written communication skills, with the ability to synthesise complex information into clear recommendations

The broad scope of our clients’ interests means that no two days are the same – from day one you will be hands-on in helping to deliver a wide range of projects, involving anything from organising a side event at the World Health Summit, to supporting a global healthcare company develop their strategy to reduce inequalities in treatment access.

Business development & growth

• Delegating effectively to junior colleagues, providing oversight, coaching and quality assurance
