About The Position

You will work across different accounts spanning multiple disease areas and therefore should be able to familiarize yourself with new areas quickly.

Senior Health Economists are supported to progress to the Consultant Health Economist role, and this can typically be achieved in 1 to 2 years. As a Consultant Health Economist, you would manage a range of projects and have full responsibility for client communication on your projects, as well as leading budgeting plans and business development efforts.
