- Gareth, Consultancy Director

I joined the Strategic North Graduate Scheme straight from university, where I’d spent 4 years studying Biomedical Sciences with Industrial Experience. From day one, the training has been incredibly organised and well thought-out to ensure that we are equipped with all the tools we need to assume the role of an analyst when we reach the end of the Graduate Scheme. In addition to the training we are receiving, we’ve also had exposure to multiple live projects, for which I feel our input has been welcomed and genuinely valued. As a company, Strategic North offer numerous opportunities to progress and develop your career, all whilst providing a fun and relaxed environment in which to work.

- Charlotte, Analyst (from Graduate Scheme)

A unique aspect of working as an Analyst for Strategic North was the extensive training received which has offered me the necessary skills to approach every project confidently. During training, I had multiple opportunities, including to have mock interviews with doctors, run mock workshops or write discussion guides and questionnaires, which will help me tremendously in any future qualitative or quantitative work.

However, whilst completing the training, I was also given the chance to work on real life project, which has entailed liaising with different stakeholders to ensure the smooth running of the projects, analysing complex information and turning it into valuable insights.This distinctive culture at Strategic North which encourages people to push themselves and take on many responsibilities has helped me gain valuable
transferable skills.

As a graduate at Strategic North, no two days are the same. The training on offer introduces you to the world of pharmaceutical research and marketing at a pace that is both challenging and fun. With training delivered by experts with years of experience in their fields, you can expect to learn how to take a proposal from a client through the research progress into a creative and informative final output. On a day-to-day basis you could be doing anything from interviewing a consultant or GP, to using research to deliver insights which have a real impact on patients lives.

One of the most compelling reasons for joining Strategic North is the opportunity to learn and progress on the job. With a fantastic internal promotion programme, the chance to keep learning new skills with every passing day, and a genuine interest in what you have to say, Strategic North is a fantastic place for those looking to continue to progress every day.

- Sam, Analyst (from Graduate Scheme)

I think what strikes me the most about the Strategic North Graduate scheme is just how much we have learnt and how much we have grown already in such a short time. We have been trained thoroughly and at the same time had the opportunity to learn whilst doing ‘real’ project work with people who are so passionate about what they do and who are real experts in the field.

Each day brings different tasks and challenges but we are given lots of support and are equipped with the necessary skills to work to the best of our ability. Since the very start, our voices have been heard and we have been given lots of opportunities and responsibilities. That, coupled with the hugely culture/people-focused working environment and positive colleagues makes Strategic North a really great place to be.

- Beth, Analyst (from Graduate Scheme)

My role as Senior Research Operations Manager is extremely interesting and challenging, no two days are the same! I work closely with the team across various research and strategy projects to ensure they are delivered within time and on budget. We have the freedom to get involved at all levels to help improve our understanding of the business and the industry. The culture is a very important part of working at Strategic North, we have a very strong sense of team and are encouraged to help and support each other, having a flat non-hierarchical structure gives us the chance to ‘have a go’ at various tasks and roles.
