Engagement Manager (Medical & RWE Strategy)

Who are Prescient? Prescient is a specialist global consultancy focused exclusively on the biopharmaceutical industry. Following the recent acquisitions of Uptake and Dolon, Prescient now operates across four core practices: Commercial, Medical, Competitive Strategy, and Value, Pricing & Access. Together, we deliver best in class intelligence, evidence and strategic consulting to leading biopharma organizations worldwide.

Our work supports clients across the full product lifecycle, from early pipeline through post launch, delivering timely insights and strategic recommendations that enable informed decision making across commercial, medical, competitive intelligence, evidence generation and market access functions.

Science, strategy, and technology underpin our business, but it's driven by deep, collaborative relationships. As true thought partners, we work alongside clients to navigate an increasingly complex healthcare landscape, helping them unlock the full potential of their brands, portfolios, and innovations to improve outcomes for patients worldwide.

Within our Medical practice, we are increasingly focused on delivering integrated solutions across medical strategy and planning, evidence generation strategy and organizational excellence; enabling clients to strengthen medical impact, accelerate decision making and build future ready medical organizations.

About our Medical Strategy Practice: Our consultancy services are built on deep scientific and medical expertise. It's a uniquely science first mentality, in lock step with the values of our clients. We explore the needs and motivations of the medical community and turn that information into powerful insights that inform our clients' strategies, with the ultimate goal of shaping the future of healthcare and improving patient outcomes.

As our Medical Strategy practice continues to evolve, we are increasingly focused on delivering integrated solutions across three core pillars: Medical Strategy & Planning (60%), Evidence Generation Strategy (20%) and Organizational Excellence (20%). This creates a unique opportunity for consultants who enjoy working across both strategic and operational dimensions of the biopharma landscape; helping clients shape medical vision, optimize evidence generation and build high performing medical organizations.

Our approach integrates rigorous scientific analysis, market understanding, evidence planning, and collaborative problem solving. We challenge the status quo, pushing the boundaries of what's possible to unlock new opportunities and innovation through strategic thinking, organizational effectiveness, and data driven decision making.
