Full Job Description
Overview

Join our Life Sciences Industry & Enterprise practice to help leading pharma, biotech, and medtech clients define commercial strategy and reinvent how commercial work gets done. This role focuses on supporting strategy work across asset / brand strategy, launch, portfolio growth, market access, patient services, functional transformation, operating model, process redesign, and AI/data-enabled reinvention.

What would you do?

As a Consultant, you will support client workstreams that help life sciences organizations make critical commercial decisions - from how to launch and grow assets to how to redesign functions and enterprise ways of working.

Your work could include:

  • Supporting asset / brand strategy, launch, portfolio growth, market access, patient services, and broader commercial strategy projects
  • Assessing market dynamics, customer needs, competitive landscapes, access considerations, and commercial growth opportunities
  • Supporting functional or enterprise reinvention work across operating model, process, governance, capability, and talent implications
  • Identifying where AI, analytics, automation, copilots, or agentic workflows can improve commercial decision-making or execution
  • Translating research, interviews, benchmarks, and data inputs into clear hypotheses, insights, and client-ready recommendations


In this role you will be expected to:

  • Understand client and project objectives and proactively ask clarifying questions at the onset of work
  • Own complex deliverables or workstream components from start to finish with limited guidance
  • Conduct independent primary and secondary research and synthesize findings into hypotheses
  • Apply life sciences commercial knowledge to connect asset, customer, access, functional, and enterprise implications
  • Use structured problem solving and storytelling to communicate insights clearly in client-ready materials
  • Build and apply strategy frameworks to break down ambiguous commercial questions and explore scenarios
  • Support development of value cases by sizing commercial opportunities, defining assumptions, analyzing value drivers, and translating evidence into clear implications for strategy decisions
  • Support AI/data-enabled strategy and reinvention work by defining use case objectives, workflow fit, required inputs, risks, and human-in-the-loop considerations
  • Support proactive commercial strategy / reinvention opportunities and proposals by shaping the client problem, strategic approach, workplan, and value story
  • Contribute to thought capital by developing reusable perspectives, frameworks, case examples, and market-facing points of view on priority commercial strategy topics
  • Manage up effectively, flag risks early, and support analysts or peers through coaching, feedback, and work product review


Growth Opportunities

You will continue to grow through:

  • Building broad commercial strategy experience across asset, function, and enterprise topics
  • Supporting high-priority work for senior life sciences commercial leaders
  • Developing expertise in commercial reinvention, AI/data-enabled strategy, and future ways of working
  • Partnering across Accenture teams to bring together strategy, technology, analytics, operations, and industry expertise
  • Growing into a workstream leader who can manage teams and advise clients across a range of commercial strategy questions
