Job Description Please note, in applying to this role you are not applying to be a Consultant. Third Bridge is a market-leading investment research firm, we orchestrate and create research for our clients. This role is an Associate in Third Bridge and you'll be working with our Consulting Clients. What is Consulting? Our consulting clients work on behalf of large companies (e.g. Fortune 500's) or institutional investors and support them by doing deep dive research to provide guidance on their corporate strategy or investment decisions. The insights they get through our experts and content are the backbone of the recommendations they deliver to their clients. Associate, ConsultingClients As an Associate in our Consulting business, you'll have opportunities to work with the top management consulting firms in the world. They will trust in you for access to the most relevant experts and research content, which you are responsible for identifying and recommending to them throughout their project lifecycles. To do so you'll gather a unique set of stakeholder management skills that will help you deliver excellent results for both clients and experts. The projects can be complex, but the impact is meaningful - every day you will get to hear directly from your clients, experts and colleagues about the difference you have made. The hats you will wear: Business driver: understandingexcellent client servicing in a highly competitive market and how your work impacts revenue growth. Work with your team to execute strategies for the accounts you are responsible for. In practice: on every project, you will have an opportunity to drive performance by delivering on client requests. Each client and expert interaction is an opportunity to bring in revenue and build your book of business. Problem solver: Consulting clients count on us for their research needs, it's our job to execute on their requests for experts. In practice: you will search for and vet experts to support your clients at each stage of their research . They operate under very tight deadlines that we have to match with urgency, but not at the expense of quality. Player & coach: We operate as one team, both within your individual team and within the EUConsulting business at large. One day, you will be leading the charge, and another you'll be supporting your peers. In practice: you will be asked to train and develop the people around you, both on your team and those you're working with on client requests. You will also receive lots of hands-on training and coaching yourself. We are a feedback-centric culture, and value effective communication. Research partner: Throughout their research, clients rely on us to think as an extension of their team. In practice: there will be times where we need to think outside the box and offer solutions that bridges their knowledge gaps, quickly. You'll also need occasionally to go above and beyond to ensure a smooth partnership with your clients. Discover More Curious about our Private Equity and Funds verticals? Check them out and decide which feels right for you. Focusing on an asset type allows our Associates to speak our clients' language and intricately understand how they operate. Qualifications Areas that play to your strengths: You must be able to deliver high quality and high volume work on a deadline. You will be working on lots of workstreams simultaneously, but that energises you - you have the ability to multitask and remain organised, collaborating with others. Consultants are working to make decisions quickly, so the ability to be efficient with your time is key. When your client relies on us for help at off hours, or your expert is in a different time zone, you strive to support - your hours vary according to the client project you are involved in, but you prefer that to a routine job. Each day will look different, and that's what makes the job interesting. The Founder's Mentality completely resonates with you, as this approach is part of our DNA. Each day and each deliverable is a chance to go above and beyond for your expert, client, team, and prove that you're the best of the best. You're competitive with a drive towards excellence, as you will be held towards both qualitative and quantitative performance measures. Consulting firms work with many of our competitors, and you're focussed on setting yourself apart and have them rely on you as a trusted, true partner. You're also resilient and are able to roll with the punches even when clients go in another direction, and commit to challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. You're a clear communicator who can create the right narrative to share your ideas with a wide range of people, such as introducing our products and services to new clients and experts. You always look for the most efficient way to get things done, rather than the path of least resistance - for example you pick up the phone to get an answer to your questions straight away, rather than send an email and wait for a reply. Cold calling doesn't phase you - what matters to you is to get results, and fast. Your attitude is to roll up your sleeves and you enjoy being in the thick of the action together with others. It matters a great deal to you to understand how your performance ranks against your own potential and against others, so you continuously seek feedback to make sure you can be at the top of your game. One of your clients preferring a competitor over you is not an acceptable state of affairs for you - you're relentless in getting the data points you need to adjust your approach until you are their number one. With the skills gained on the job (hard skills are getting displaced by machines), you aspire to a future as a high EQ business leader. Additional Information What our people love about being Associates in Consulting Clients: Being surrounded by people they not only enjoy working with, but who also challenge and support them from the peer level up through senior management.

This is enhanced by having a wealth of CRO, clinical and product development expertise within their senior management, all of whom work closely alongside their customers. PRA International - History Established in the late 1970's with name changed to Pharmaceutical Research Associates Inc., in 1981 with focus on data management in Virginia, USA. In 1991, PRA expanded its service offering to include clinical trial management and opened their first European location. 1996 saw the company name change to PRA International as the company moved towards becoming a global CRO with 333 employees. In 1997, PRA acquired International Medical and Technical Consultants (IMTCI), a CRO based in Lenexa, Kansas. This increased PRA International's clinical trials leadership, expertise and experience within the key therapeutic areas of allergy and respiratory. Additionally they gained a Phase I facility. In 1999, PRA acquired Valorum (UK) Ltd, based in Reading, UK. This acquisition enhanced their regulatory expertise and expanded PRA's trial management footprint in Europe. In 2000, PRA acquired ARCAM, an international CRO based in Paris, France. This further enhanced PRAs capability in Europe, across a number of therapeutic areas within clinical trial management, project management and quality assurance. This enhanced PRAs European footprint to in excess of 250 employees. In 2002, PRA acquired Staticon International Espana, an established CRO in Madrid, Spain, further developed their service offering in Europe and in particular bringing enhanced capability in electronic data capture and management.

In October 2007, PRA acquired Pharmacon, a clinical research organisation based in Berlin, Germany. Specialising in Phase I studies with patients in several Central European countries, this was an important step in PRA's Early Development Services plan to further strengthen its position as an industry leader. PRA returned to being a privately held company when it was reacquired by Genstar Capital, LLC in December 2007. Genstar had been PRA's largest investor before the initial public offering in 2004. PRA International's mission: 'Our people commit to provide innovative solutions that our clients rely upon to introduce new drugs and to improve lives' PRA International - Core Values Unquestionable ethics and integrity Consistent and measurable quality in all they do Outstanding service and flexibility to meet customer requirements Commitment to staff development and collaboration Demonstrated technical and therapeutic excellence throughout the company PRA International - Key Services Protocol and Case Report Form design Feasibility study Project Management Investigator site selection and qualification Investigator handbook and meetings Medical monitoring and drug safety Data management Analysis and reporting Medical and scientific publications Regulatory filings Early Development Services Single and multiple dose safety and tolerability studies Food effect Proof of concept studies Interaction studies with drugs and food Mass balance / ADME studies Single and multiple dose bioavailability studies QTc - prolongation and intensive ECG studies PK studies in renally impaired patients PK studies in hepatically impaired patients Special formulations Studies with biotechnology-derived therapeutic products Late Phase Services Post-authorisation safety studies (PASS) Restricted access programs Drug Safety Management Reporting of serious adverse events Processing and reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) Periodic safety update reports Safety and Pharmaco-Epidemiological Studies Global database pooling and integrated summaries of safety Consulting and system analysis Electronic Regulatory Submissions Protocol and Case Report Form design Feasibility study Project Management Investigator site selection and qualification For further information, please go to Context of the role Approximately two years ago, the decision was taken to create a new role within the global operations function focused on the development and management of PRA's key customers and oversight of international trials and programmes. The thinking behind this strategy was to provide a dedicated resource to strategic clients at a global level thereby ensuring PRA could develop a deep knowledge of the client, their portfolio, pipeline, culture and vision. Additionally, the client could benefit from a single point of contact for their operational and commercial needs. In executing this strategy, PRA set out to build a team of Project Delivery professionals who would work alongside operational and commercial groups to coordinate activities relating to specific accounts. Over the last 18 months, PRA have targeted experienced global study management and clinical operations professionals, both internally and externally, who have sought to leverage their clinical research knowledge and experience in a client facing role. Today, the Project Delivery team is 13 strong and is led by six General Partners worldwide. Their remit is to provide client management, leadership and project mentorship with the goal of providing outstanding customer delivery and developing a strong, long-term relationship with the customer. In the last few months, PRA have been awarded preferred provider status with a global pharmaceutical company and the need has arisen to recruit an additional Director, Project Delivery to the team. Reporting to the UK based General Partner, the role can be based at one of PRA's European offices or may be home based for the right candidate. PRA are seeking a professional with a life sciences degree who brings extensive experience in global phase I-IV clinical trial management and strong commercial skills. You will already be liaising with clinical research and procurement professionals at a senior level within the pharmaceutical industry and comfortable with managing a portfolio of multi-centre international studies. This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic and growing business unit within one of the leading global CROs in a role which offers tremendous scope for career development and enhancement.

You will bring industry expertise, practical lived experience and a collaborative and can-do attitude that inspires progress and change in our clients. The work we do in Commercial Transformation can span from strategy and operating model briefs through to the business design and change elements of large-scale commercial systems implementations. Helping commercial functions to become more data- and insight-driven is also a key pillar of our work. The Work No matter the project or customer, your work will have a meaningful impact on society, businesses, and lives. It's really rewarding. And it's also really varied.

Internal Contribution - Campaign development, internal think-tanks, whitepapers, practice development (operations, recruitment, team events & activities), offering development. Learning & Development - Training to support your career development and the skills demand within the company, certifications etc. We'd Love to Meet Someone With Our most successful Consumer Products consultants generally bring: Consulting experience - To land well in our business we find that having a strong background in a leading consulting firm is beneficial. This may be combined with time also spent in industry roles. The consulting background should cover both business development and project delivery. Consumer Products industry knowledge and experience Our most impactful consultants are passionate about Consumer Products and have track a record of successful delivery in that sector. Candidates may specialise in specific sub-sectors such as food and beverage, household and personal care, luxury or fashion. Candidates' skills should be transferable across sub-sectors. Specific industry-related capability, Our primary focus will be industry experience, but this should be supported by industry-related capability as a second consideration. In this case, Commercial Transformation. Candidates should understand how the Commercial function operates and how it links to other functions in the context of the overall value chain. A confident and collaborative attitude - Collaboration is key to our business, and we require consultants at all grades to be confident and capable building relationships in our own and our clients' businesses. Experience in consultancy methods and approaches is helpful, but not essential. If joining from industry (with no or limited consulting experience) we find resilience and a proactive attitude to learning is essential.
