Example of work as a Life science consultant

A big pharmaceutical company needs to replace an IT-system in the clinical area.

The company hires an external consultancy to help with the transformation.

A life science consultant from the external consultancy is brought onto the project together with two of his more experienced colleagues.

They work with the pharmaceutical company to develop the business case and understand the needs of the new system.

Next, the ideal solution is identified and a vendor selection process is initiated.

In the end the consultants help implement the new systems.

Throughout the process the life science consultant ensures process updates to the internal team and support all steps of the process with slides, stakeholder coordination and data analysis.
