About the Role

Analysts work on projects involving the detailed analysis of data from clinical trials and the assimilation and creative presentation of this analysis in different formats. These deliverables include posters, slide sets and peer-reviewed publications, and they are used directly by our clients in communication with a range of external stakeholders, making them instrumental to the successful uptake of novel therapies. The work is structured on a project-by-project basis and you will usually be working on several projects in different disease areas at any one time.

You will work in project teams alongside experienced colleagues, who provide one-to-one training in the technical aspects of the role, including project management and effective client communication. Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients, and following a successful induction period you will increasingly participate in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders.

Costello Medical is organised into service areas that each focus on specific medical communications and health economics services or serve distinct sectors of the healthcare industry. In this role, you'll work in our Value and Access or Evidence Development service areas

. If you have an interest in joining a specific team, you will be encouraged to specify this in your application form. On joining the company, you will be assigned a "home" team based on factors such as your interests and skills and our current business need. However, where possible, Analysts work with at least one additional team to develop a broad understanding of the company's services and clients.

Value and Access Teams:

Market Access. The Market Access team helps ensure medicines are reimbursed and quickly reach patients. We assist clients in creating communication strategies that highlight the clinical and economic value of innovative therapies. Our multidisciplinary work starts with evidence generation, including literature reviews, advisory boards, and economic modelling, which informs global materials used for consistent product communication across regional markets. This directly improves patient access to medicine worldwide. We also produce local reports and educational materials for payers about new therapies. Market Access roles are ideal for strategic thinkers passionate about expanding patient access and skilled in problem-solving and writing

HTA. As a member of the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) team, you will contribute to projects demonstrating the clinical and economic value of innovative therapies. Your work supports therapy reimbursement in countries where HTA is essential for patient access. Collaborating with clients from the outset, you'll develop HTA strategies and produce evidence-based narratives that show cost-effectiveness. The Costello Medical HTA team has submitted over 100 projects to agencies like NICE, EUnetHTA, and Singapore's ACE. While no prior economics experience is needed, strong numerical, critical appraisal, and strategic skills are important for this role

Health Economics. Health economics projects create models to assess if interventions are cost-effective and affordable. As an Analyst, you support Health Economists by drafting protocols and reports, verifying model inputs, and offering clinical or scientific insights on model assumptions

Evidence Development Teams:

Literature Reviews. Literature Reviews projects involve gathering clinical, economic, and real-world evidence to demonstrate the value of pharmaceuticals or medical devices. Our team conducts systematic literature reviews for meta-analyses and pragmatic evidence reviews for strategic client decisions. You will learn evidence review methods, ensure compliance with industry guidelines, and help create clear reports and presentations. Many reviews are published at conferences or in journals. This role requires attention to detail, strong organisational and communication skills, and a passion for evidence-based medicine

Real-World Evidence. Real-world evidence (RWE) is increasingly vital for demonstrating the clinical and economic value of medical products. Our RWE team designs, conducts, and reports on real-world studies (prospective, retrospective, or cross-sectional) using protocols and statistical plans developed with Statisticians, clients, and experts. They gather and analyse data from sources like patient registries, claims databases, and prospective studies to answer questions about disease burden, effectiveness, and economics. As a growing service are, joining our RWE team offers the opportunity to help shape Costello Medical's future services by delivering impactful, high-quality studies across various disease areas. This role suits those interested in epidemiology or biostatistics, though prior experience is not required

Statistics. As an Analyst in our Statistics team, you will analyse clinical and health data, communicate findings to clients and stakeholders, and help answer treatment-related questions using various data sources. You will work with Statisticians to plan analyses, assess feasibility, choose methodologies, and write protocols. The role includes critically reviewing statistical results and presenting them to audiences such as clients, healthcare professionals, and UK reimbursement agencies like NICE

You may also have chances to collaborate with teams outside Value and Access and Evidence Development, like those in Health Policy, Rare Diseases or MedTech. If you are interested in these areas, please note your preferred teams on your application form.

Key responsibilities will include:

Conducting detailed analysis of clinical trial data and creating materials for different audiences in various formats
Close collaboration with clients, including participating in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders
Supporting project management and client communication, alongside experienced colleagues
Working on several projects in different disease areas at any one time
Engaging with different teams within the company to develop a broad understanding of service offerings and clients

Hybrid Working Policy: We believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost. At the same time, we recognise that homeworking can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments.

Therefore, we offer flexible working arrangements that allow our colleagues who have passed probation to work from home for up to half of the time, measured across a 2-week rolling period. During your probationary period (normally the first 6 months of the role), you will be able to work from home for 1 day per week.
