About the Role

Do you have experience of successfully delivering projects, with a focus on evidence generation? Do you enjoy building and maintaining client relationships? Are you looking to join a growing company offering excellent career prospects? Costello Medical are growing quickly through demand from both new and existing clients and are therefore looking for candidates with prior experience in medical consulting who enjoy content delivery as well as project and client management to join us as Senior Analysts.

This role will be based within our Literature Reviews & Synthesis division, where projects are focused on systematic, rapid and pragmatic literature reviews. Review topics range from clinical efficacy, safety and effectiveness, through disease epidemiology, to health economic data. Statistical and health economic components of these projects are also available, involving close collaboration with our Health Economics & Statistics division. We publish many of our reviews as conference presentations or journal publications and there is also opportunity for conducting our own research.

Supported by Consultants, Senior Analysts take a leading role across projects and work alongside the project team to ensure that work is delivered to an exceptionally high-standard in line with agreed timelines. This involves providing strategic advice to clients at project initiation, supervision of the project team and regular interaction with clients. Senior Analysts are central to the quality control of a project, involving the review of colleague’s work and the provision of constructive feedback.

You will also play a key role in contributing to business development by developing and maintaining excellent client relationships and identifying opportunities to provide additional services to clients within existing projects.

Senior Analysts are supported to progress to the Consultant role, and this can typically be achieved in 1 to 2 years. In this Consultant role, you would then have full responsibility for client management, including budgeting and business development, and project delivery. In addition, our Consultants line manage team members and have internal responsibilities spanning areas such as recruitment and training.
