The Role
Senior Associates develop differentiated investment insights grounded in sophisticated policy analysis and European healthcare market dynamics. You will interact regularly with policymakers, regulators, government stakeholders, and private equity investors across European healthcare systems. This role requires the ability to translate complex and evolving policy environments into actionable investment theses within 2–4 week transaction sprint timelines typical of PE diligence processes.
Required Qualifications
Experience Profile:
- 3+ years at a top-tier management consulting firm or boutique healthcare strategy advisory with demonstrated private equity diligence experience
- Direct involvement in buy-side or sell-side healthcare due diligence, ideally across multiple sub-sectors (providers, payers/insurers, healthcare services, life sciences services, digital health, tech-enabled care)
- Proven ability to structure and execute rapid diligence workstreams within compressed 2–4 week deal cycles
- Understanding of European regulatory frameworks, reimbursement mechanisms (e.g., NHS, Assurance Maladie, statutory health insurance systems, DRG pricing), and healthcare funding dynamics
- Strong executive presence and client-facing skills developed in transaction-driven environments
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex policy and market dynamics into clear investment implications
- Self-directed work style with the ability to manage multiple concurrent diligence engagements
- Strong interest in the intersection of healthcare policy, politics, and private equity investing and legislative developments (national and EU-level) to investment risk and upside
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
