Role Title: Strategic Project Associate | Health & Life Sciences Advisory

What You'll Do
You'll work as a hands-on team member on client engagements, handling everything from gathering market intelligence to building final presentations.

• Client & Team Collaboration – Build trust with external clients and internal colleagues; hit productivity targets; volunteer for improvement initiatives and proposal work.
