About The Position

PhaseV is a clinical AI company applying causal machine learning and Bayesian adaptive design to accelerate clinical development and make clinical trials smarter, faster, and more predictable. We work with 45+ pharma sponsors and CROs — and we're growing fast. This is a 3 month internship. As our Strategy & Market Intelligence Intern, you'll sit at the intersection of strategy, technology, and the life sciences. You'll build a living view of the competitive and market landscape and, in doing so, help shape how PhaseV positions itself as the platform of reference in clinical AI. You'll have real ownership: designing research frameworks, synthesizing insights for senior leadership, and piloting lightweight AI-powered tools that keep our intelligence fresh without manual effort. You're resourceful, curious, and not intimidated by ambiguity. You know how to find signal in complex markets, and you care about turning that signal into something actionable. We're based in Boston and prefer candidates who can join us in person, at least part of the time. We'll consider remote candidates in exceptional cases.
