Moderator / Qualitative Consultant - Pharma - Life Sciences Sector (Work from home)

Our Health practice excels at evaluating new pharmaceutical and biotech products; analyzing the best opportunities for penetrating marketplaces; and helping health systems understand how their customers are responding to healthcare reform. We leverage quantitative and qualitative research solutions, to address a variety of healthcare market research needs. Recently, the demand for qualitative solutions among pharmaceutical clients has been steadily increasing

Who are you?
  • You're a moderator who's comfortable with the nuances of qualitative research involving medical or sensitive topics. You're experienced in designing qualitative solutions, applying multiple qualitative methods, and you are eager to expand your tool kit.
  • Your toolkit includes Behavioral Science (BeSci), and you are capable of leading BeSci efforts for our Pharma practice.
  • You stay current with therapeutic area knowledge, emerging trends in qualitative research, and strategies for communicating insights.
  • You've applied your moderating talents in the pharma / life sciences industry for 1 - 3 years minimum, and are at the point where clients specifically request you to moderate their projects.
  • You are ready for more responsibility for synthesizing findings, developing a story and presenting results.

What would you do?

While these positions are focused on the pharmaceutical industry, you may occasionally have the opportunity to support clients across the Health sector as well. A majority of our qualitative engagements focus on disease state understanding, segmentation and persona development, patient and HCP journey, treatment pathways, core HCP messaging and patient positioning. The preferred candidate has experience in one or more of these areas specifically with pharmaceutical clients. Experience and skill in oncology is a plus.

A few other key points…

We all deeply enjoy the incredible colleagues that we get to work with on a daily basis. That's paramount for every one of us, so we focus very strongly on hiring people that will fit in well with our culture. While we are looking for somebody with a strong individual skills and experience, your ability to collaborate is going to be a big deciding factor.

We are a geographically dispersed organization with technical proficiency, so we are very flexible regarding your location, and comfortable with you working remotely.
