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

In this role you will be expected to:

-
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
