About the Role
Our client is a leading strategy consulting firm dedicated exclusively to the life sciences industry, with a London office serving European and global clients. Within the firm, this role sits in the practice that supports private equity investors and corporate acquirers through the deal lifecycle, from pre-deal commercial due diligence and vendor assistance through to post-close strategy and value creation support.
Our client is expanding their freelance associate network to flex capacity across live deal and strategy engagements, and is looking for experienced, deal-ready consultants who can be deployed at short notice on high-quality, fast-paced projects.
The Role
Our client is seeking an experienced freelance consultant to join project teams on Strategy and Commercial Due Diligence engagements within Healthcare & Life Sciences.
This is a flexible, project-based role suited to an independent professional who can integrate quickly into lean deal teams, take ownership of workstreams, and deliver under tight deadlines typical of transaction timelines.
Key Responsibilities
- Support and/or lead workstreams on commercial due diligence engagements, including market sizing, growth driver analysis, competitive landscaping, and customer/KPI analysis
- Design and execute primary research programmes, including expert calls, customer/payer interviews, and stakeholder interviews to validate the investment thesis
- Conduct secondary research and synthesise data from industry databases, analyst reports, regulatory filings, and proprietary sources
- Support post-deal strategy and value creation workstreams for investor clients, including 100-day planning, growth strategy, and portfolio company support, where engagements extend beyond the initial diligence phase
- Develop clear, structured, client-ready outputs (Word/PowerPoint) that translate complex analysis into commercially relevant conclusions and risk/opportunity assessments
- Support the drafting of vendor/red flag CDD reports and management presentations under deal timelines
- Collaborate with core team members, senior advisors, and subject matter experts across therapeutic areas, care settings, and healthcare business models
- Where relevant, contribute sector expertise or an existing expert/KOL network to strengthen research quality and speed
