About the Role
Analysts work on projects involving the detailed analysis of data from clinical trials and the assimilation and creative presentation of this analysis in different formats. These deliverables include posters, slide sets and peer-reviewed publications, and they are used directly by our clients in communication with a range of external stakeholders, making them instrumental to the successful uptake of novel therapies. The work is structured on a project-by-project basis and you will usually be working on several projects in different disease areas at any one time.

You will work in project teams alongside experienced colleagues, who provide one-to-one training in the technical aspects of the role, including project management and effective client communication. Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients, and following a successful induction period you will increasingly participate in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders.

In this role, you will work in the Value and Access or Evidence Development service areas. On joining, you will be assigned a home team based on your interests, skills and current business need, and where possible Analysts work with at least one additional team to develop a broad understanding of the company's services and clients.

Value and Access Teams:

• Market Access: Helps ensure medicines are reimbursed and quickly reach patients, including evidence generation, literature reviews, advisory boards and economic modelling.
• HTA: Contributes to projects demonstrating the clinical and economic value of innovative therapies, producing evidence-based narratives that show cost-effectiveness. No prior economics experience is needed.
• Health Economics: Creates models to assess if interventions are cost-effective and affordable. Analysts support Health Economists by drafting protocols and reports, verifying model inputs and offering clinical or scientific insights on model assumptions.

Evidence Development Teams:

• Literature Reviews: Gathers clinical, economic and real-world evidence to demonstrate the value of pharmaceuticals or medical devices, including systematic literature reviews for meta-analyses.
• Real-World Evidence: Designs, conducts and reports on real-world studies using protocols and statistical plans, analysing data from patient registries, claims databases and prospective studies.
• Statistics: Develops analysis plans and conducts data analyses across patient-level clinical trial data, real-world observational data and published aggregate data.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Conducting detailed analysis of clinical trial data and creating materials for different audiences in various formats
• Close collaboration with clients, including participating in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders
• Supporting project management and client communication, alongside experienced colleagues
• Working on several projects in different disease areas at any one time
• Engaging with different teams within the company to develop a broad understanding of service offerings and clients

Hybrid Working Policy: Colleagues who have passed probation can work from home for up to half of the time, measured across a 2-week rolling period. During probation (normally the first 6 months), you can work from home for 1 day per week.
