About the Role

Senior Analysts take a leading role across projects and work alongside Team Leads, Consultants, Analysts and Project Coordinators to ensure that they are delivered to an exceptionally high standard in line with agreed timelines. This involves regular interaction with clients over email and in meetings, including providing strategic advice, as well as internal responsibilities, such as training and supervising the Costello Medical project team. Senior Analysts are central to the quality of project deliverables and so their role involves the review of work from more junior colleagues, and the provision of constructive feedback.

Costello Medical is organized into service areas that each focus on specific project types or serve distinct sectors of the healthcare industry. In this role, you will be assigned to either Value and Access (Market Access, HTA, and Health Economics) or Evidence Development (Literature Reviews, Real-World Evidence, and Statistics) as your home team based on various factors such as your interests, skills, and current business needs, but will work in a multidisciplinary role across these services, contributing to Canadian, US, and global projects.
