You will lead a wide range of projects to help clients understand specific digital health markets and trends, identify best-fit partners and M&A targets, conduct comparative deep-dives on startups and competitors, and develop cutting-edge product and growth strategies.

You are eager for the opportunity to coach and contribute to the development of others on your team. You are resilient, value feedback as a tool for growth, and are comfortable navigating through ambiguity. You are curious asking the right questions to unearth deeper understanding and surface unique insights which also support project teams to efficiently drive towards the answer. You enjoy thinking quickly on your feet, and convey your findings clearly and confidently.

Qualifications
