MSC is offering a fantastic opportunity for outstanding candidates with a proven track record within business development/strategy, market analysis, financing and investment support in Life Science. Do you thrive when you get to work closely with clients on challenging business problems? Then you are the one to join us.
If you’re an experienced professional within Life Science, either as a consultant or in a business development role, who’s ready to solve transformative challenges for biotech leadership teams – we are interested in meeting you. You are already comfortable with analyzing data to identify strategic partners and licensing opportunities, support investment decisions and quantify the value of business opportunities – and you now feel that you are ready to serve as a leader for our case teams and clients. Internally, our Management Consultants have a voice at the leadership table where they coordinate our resources and support the development of our associates and interns. Externally, our Management Consultants support both our current and incoming clients as sounding boards around strategic issues such as investments, M&A and seizing market opportunities. If you believe you qualify, we would like to meet you.
We are a strategy & communication agency specialized in the Nordic life science industry that, simply put, ensures our clients are strategically positioned and professionally packaged towards their potential acquirers, investors and competitors. We are dedicated to smaller life science companies and specialize in business development, valuation and communication in the Nordics.
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Our management consultants:
Are case team leaders and client contacts
Work across a range of bio/pharma/medtech clients with C-level executives in defining and delivering projects that have a lasting impact on the client’s competitive positioning and company value.
Become a trusted ally to the management teams of our biotech clients working to identify opportunities, craft and execute business development strategies.
Serve as the daily client contact, taking briefs as well as providing proactive counsel on new approaches or ideas that will help meet clients’ broader objectives.
Perform interviews with the client’s project team and industry experts (physicians, company leaders, subject matter authorities) to extract strategic insights.
Define project methodology and lead associates and other consultants to achieve the goals of your case assignments. This means preparing client questions, workshop material and deliveries on sometimes tight deadlines.
Drive upsales on current clients, support lead generation and development of new business opportunities.



QUALIFICATIONS:
To qualify as Management Consultant, we expect 4-5 years of relevant work experience within the field of Life Science, preferably in the role as consultant
Demonstrated experience of preparing investment presentations, business plans, market analysis, valuation, assessment of competitors, decision-making material to support strategic decisions, prospectus/investment memos, partnering material, licensing packages, etc.
Excellent communication skills in English and Swedish – both verbally and in writing

Experience from relevant databases (e.g. Informa suite, EvaluatePharma, GlobalData, Clarivate, Elsevier, Pubmed, ClinicalTrials, Monocl Professional, etc) is beneficial

At MSC, you will enjoy a range of benefits, including financial incentive programs together with beneficial insurance and pension programs. As part of our ambition to be a leading company in the industry, we offer employees continuous professional development opportunities. Best of all, however, are all the ambitious and great colleagues that you will get to work with. You will be an integral part of our close-knit team.
Our office is located in Göteborg, Sweden, but many team members are working remotely from other cities and countries – some temporarily and some permanently. But for the right candidate we are open to consider alternate arrangements within the Nordics. We offer flexibility regarding office hours but expect the same flexibility when our client engagements may require you to work overtime or travel for sales and workshops. Under normal circumstances we enjoy quarterly celebrations, afterworks and any excuse to throw another party – but during the covid-19 outbreak this has been replaced by digital meetups (Slack, Zoom and Teams) and corona safe outdoor activities.
To apply for this position, please submit your CV and cover letter through our Careers website before January, 12 2022. We will review candidates on an ongoing basis, and we intend to close the recruitment process once we find the right candidate so act quickly to not miss this opportunity. Please address your previous experience that you deem to be of the highest relevance for this position. We do not accept consulting offers in replacement of employment. All communication about this position is handled via our Careers website and it does not suffice to click on the apply button in LinkedIn.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

ABOUT MSC NORDICS
MSC Nordics has been profitable and grown organically since it was formed in 2014. Seven years later, in 2021, we have a track record of having worked with 100+ clients in the various fields of Life Science. Our experience ranges across all indication areas but with a higher representation in oncology, inflammation, autoimmunity, CNS and infectious diseases. Overall, we have delivered just short of 90 asset/portfolio valuations that have been used for asset licensing, company acquisition, investment negotiation and preparation for IPOs. However, we have probably done at least twice as many market opportunity analysis projects covering everything from immuno-oncology, rare diseases, cell & gene therapies, specific receptor target landscapes, point-of-care technologies, RNA platforms, CROs/CDMOs, investors, Big Pharma portfolio strategies and much more.
