Analyst
Overview
Working at Health Advances allows analysts to gain broad exposure to the biopharma, medtech, diagnostics, health IT, healthcare services, and investor sectors as part of a growing firm. We are seeking candidates who share in our passion for making a direct impact on the healthcare industry as they work closely with colleagues who have a wide range of industry experience, such as MDs, PhDs, and MBAs.
Health Advances is recognized as a top consulting firm and receives high rankings annually for its comprehensive training in both healthcare and business topics. Our analysts are typically staffed on two cases at one time allowing them to simultaneously learn about multiple aspects of the healthcare industry. With projects spanning an average of 4-6 weeks, analysts will gain exposure to a variety of project work and sectors in their first year alone.
Health Advances is committed to continuous learning and the growth of its staff at all levels. Analysts join internal committees (examples: sector-specific, business development, and business analytics committees), attend seminars, and present at our weekly company meetings. Each analyst is paired with a go-to “buddy” in addition to a formal mentor who is part of the Management Team. Our mentorship program ensures that each individual has a tailored skill plan that tracks progress throughout the course of their career at Health Advances.
Analysts leverage prior knowledge in addition to current casework to develop the necessary skills for transition into levels of increased responsibility. Health Advances alumni are accepted into the top advanced-degree programs within several different fields and move on to challenging positions at organizations around the globe.
