About the Role

Do you have experience of successfully conceptualizing, developing and communicating health economic models that demonstrate the value of new healthcare interventions? Do you enjoy building and maintaining client relationships? Are you looking to join a growing company offering excellent career prospects?

As a Senior Health Economist at Costello Medical, you will play a key role within project teams to ensure work is delivered to an exceptionally high quality and in line with client expectations. This includes providing strategic advice to clients from model conceptualization through to building of the model and interpretation of the results. Senior Health Economists are central to the quality control of the project as well as training Health Economists through the provision of constructive feedback. In addition to this and helping define our project approach, the ideal candidate will also be expected to deliver technical work themselves and progress their own technical modelling skills.

Our Health Economics team deliver modelling projects to a broad range of pharmaceutical, medical devices companies and public sector and non-profit clients. You will work across different accounts spanning multiple disease areas and therefore should be able to familiarize yourself with new areas quickly.

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 projects. There may also be opportunities to line manage and mentor our Health Economist Interns.

Senior Health Economists are supported to progress to the Consultant Health Economist role, and this can typically be achieved in 1 to 2 years. As a Consultant Health Economist, you would manage a range of projects and have full responsibility for client communication on your projects, as well as leading budgeting plans and business development efforts. In addition to technical project delivery, you would line manage team members and have internal responsibilities spanning areas such as recruitment and training.

Hybrid Working Policy: We believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost. At the same time, we recognise that homeworking can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments.

Therefore, we offer flexible working arrangements that allow our colleagues to work from home for up to half of the time, measured across a 2-week rolling period. Please note that as part of our wider flexible working policy, employees may work outside of Massachusetts for up to 4 weeks annually
