As a Consulting Director at Strategic North, I lead and support both research and strategy projects. A fantastic aspect about working at Strategic North is that you’re exposed to diverse and rapidly evolving therapy areas. We all collaborate as a team, and respect everyone’s ideas and opinions. We learn from each other as we aim to deliver quality client work. I am proud to work with a team of experts who are so committed to excellence in what they do, and who create a great environment to do it.

- 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, Consultant (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.

- Iulia, Consultant (from Graduate Scheme)

One of the great things about working at Strategic North is that each of us has the opportunity to build genuine partnerships with clients so that we become part of their team and can maximise the value we add. Meanwhile, the wider Strategic North team supports me with diverse knowledge across therapy areas, which inspires me to stretch our clients' thinking and bring a fresh perspective to their business challenges.

My role as Head of Finance & Business Operations is very varied which makes every day interesting. I have been able to establish the finance function and put many of my skills into practice whilst further developing my knowledge. Strategic North see the potential in their employees, creating opportunities for individuals to get involved in various internal projects across the business and many promotional opportunities. The culture at Strategic North is unique, individuals are carefully selected to join the team, it really is a privilege to be part of the Strategic North family

- Anna, Head of Finance & Business Operations

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.
