As a Senior Consultant in R&D, you will help customers bring treatments to patients faster by transforming how they work with Technology, Data, and AI. You will focus on reshaping operating models, driving organizational change, and measuring tangible business value. R&D is a broad area that includes several distinct practices: Clinical Operations, Clinical Data Management, Regulatory, and Pharmacovigilance. You will focus in one of these practices based on your background, interests, and needs of the business. You will build credibility, depth, and relationships in that practice, but staffing will remain fungible across R&D and movement between practices is always permitted.
