HEOR Analysts and Consultants
Location: Europe and US
Essentially every major pharmaceutical and biotechnology company in the world relies on IMS. With more than 50 years of experience in providing market intelligence, we offer clients information, analytics and consulting capabilities that are simply unmatched. With our longstanding tradition of product development, tailored to meet emerging client needs and innovations recognized industry-wide, we’ve earned our reputation as the “gold standard.”
With direct access to the world’s most comprehensive information, analytic and consulting/research resources, IMS experts in Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) deliver deep insights into product safety, efficacy, cost, value for money and affordability. We are one of only a few organizations that integrate health economics, outcomes research, pricing and market access and have senior staff involved in each project. Our work spans the spectrum of therapeutic and pathology areas, providing challenge and variety for our people.
Due to continued success and expansion of our offerings in response to client demand, we are expanding our global HEOR team throughout Europe, the US and Asia. We are proud to offer an invigorating atmosphere and challenging, varied projects that enable our people to realize their full potential. Our diverse mix of clients from Pharmaceutical, Medical Device, Diagnostic and Biotech companies, as well as our interactions with regulatory organizations, provides exposure to solving the health economics and outcomes research issues facing healthcare companies and authorities around the world. As a result our people really do help to demonstrate the value of medicine.
Do you have what it takes to join our world-class team?
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.
