You’ll work closely with pharmaceutical clients to understand their UK market access and evidence needs, identify opportunities and develop tailored solutions. This will include leading proposals, shaping new engagements and overseeing projects such as NICE and SMC submissions, economic model development and adaptation, early HTA strategy and evidence-generation planning.

You’ll also work alongside established client business partners and other practice leads to develop integrated solutions across Health Economics, RWE, evidence synthesis and wider commercial advisory services.

The role carries responsibility for revenue growth, project quality and profitability, while providing technical direction and coaching to delivery teams. There is deliberately no formal line management responsibility, allowing you to focus more heavily on developing the business, shaping the offering and providing specialist leadership.

This is a broad, high-visibility position offering the opportunity to influence both the strategic direction and commercial success of the UK HE/HTA practice.

Key Requirements

• Extensive experience in Health Economics and UK HTA, ideally with approximately 10+ years of relevant experience.
• Deep technical knowledge of economic modelling and its application to NICE and SMC submissions.
• Experience leading clients through UK HTA processes and developing evidence strategies to support pricing, reimbursement and market access.
• A strong understanding of the UK pharmaceutical and market access environment.
• Proven ability to build trusted client relationships, understand client challenges and develop tailored consulting solutions.
• Experience contributing to business development, proposals, client growth or revenue generation.
• The ability to provide strategic and technical leadership across complex HE/HTA projects, ensuring high standards of quality, delivery and profitability.
• Experience coaching, mentoring or providing technical guidance to colleagues.

Experience within a consultancy would be advantageous, although candidates from pharmaceutical, industry or other relevant backgrounds will also be considered where they can demonstrate the required technical credibility and commercial approach. An established UK pharmaceutical or HTA network would be beneficial.

What's in it for you?

• The opportunity to take ownership of a significant UK Health Economics and HTA practice within a leading global life sciences organisation.
• A broad role combining technical leadership, client engagement, business development and strategic influence.
• The chance to shape and develop the HE/HTA offering, including new services, thought leadership and external positioning.
• Access to established pharmaceutical client relationships and dedicated client business partners to support opportunity development.
• The opportunity to work alongside experts across RWE, evidence generation, commercial strategy and other advisory disciplines.
• A varied portfolio of projects, including NICE and SMC submissions, economic modelling, early HTA and wider evidence strategy.
• A flexible working environment, with the opportunity to work remotely for a significant proportion of the time and travel for client and team meetings as required.
• A competitive package including £120,000–£130,000 base salary, car allowance and a 25% annual bonus.
• The opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the growth and future direction of a specialist practice within a well-established global business.
