This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2433 is an eligible occupation, but we classified this role with low confidence (59% match). If the code is right — and AQUARIUS POPULATION HEALTH LIMITED is a licensed sponsor — it should qualify, but double-check the occupation eligibility rules against the actual role.
Clients rarely arrive with a tidy decision question. That's where you come in.
Decision problems that are still taking shape are exactly the ones that shape our world. You'll work in the messy world of health and data - guiding clients from an initial ask, to a clearly articulated question, to health economic evidence that answers it credibly. Then comes the destination: equipping your client to turn that evidence into real-world impact.
Location: Hybrid, Tileyard Studios, King’s Cross, London (minimum two days per week on site)
Salary: £63,000 - £73,000 dependent on experience, PHI (post-probation)
Aquarius is a proud Skilled Worker Sponsor.
[If you don’t feel you quite match the experience expectations for this role, we’d be interested in hearing from you (you might find a better fit in a Consultant or Associate Consultant role). If you are not sure, please do apply - just let us know your thoughts in the cover letter]
About the opportunity
You will help clients cut through ambiguity, lead the delivery and project management of high-quality health economic projects, and use sound judgement in an ever-changing healthcare landscape — without diluting scientific integrity.
As a Senior Consultant, you will relish tackling problems that are often poorly framed at the start and may shift as the work unfolds. You will lead projects with a high degree of independence, supported by proportionate peer review and senior oversight according to the complexity, risk and strategic importance of the work. You will help clients move from an initial request to a clearly articulated decision-question, then design and deliver health economic modelling and evidence that answers it with scientific credibility. Your work will give clients what they need to support internal strategic decisions and inform external stakeholders.
Day to day, you will contribute to briefs and proposals, design analytical approaches, and lead the delivery of projects and technical workstreams across multiple disease and clinical areas. You will manage project plans, budgets, resources, risks and client communications, taking ownership of model design and build, assumptions, methods, uncertainty, review and quality control. You will also contribute to project conceptualisation, translating client needs and decision problems into proportionate, practical and scientifically credible study designs and modelling approaches.
You will succeed in this role if you are someone who:
Builds trust with clients, understands their individual needs and can challenge constructively with the support of senior colleagues.
Designs and delivers health economic models and evidence-generation work that stand up to scrutiny and peer review.
Leads the day-to-day management of projects with clarity over scope, timelines, resources, budgets, risks and quality.
Acts as the technical or scientific lead on health economic modelling projects, setting the analytical approach, guiding project teams, delegating effectively and giving clear, detailed and constructive feedback.
Communicates complex methods, findings and evidence in a way that enables decisions, not just understanding.
Is driven to make Aquarius an even better place to work tomorrow than it is today.
Who we are looking for
We’re looking for someone who has built strong experience within a consultancy, professional services or commercial environment and is ready to take ownership of complex technical work while continuing to grow as a client adviser and people leader. You will bring strong health economic modelling capability, sector insight and the ability to develop evidence-based solutions that influence healthcare decisions. You will lead individual projects and project teams with considerable independence, while Consulting Leads retain broader accountability for account performance, senior client relationships and significant commercial or strategic decisions.
Perhaps you have a PhD/MSc (or BSc/BA with equivalent experience) in a relevant field such as Economics/Health Economics, Data Science/Statistics, Epidemiology, Public Health, Health Policy, Mathematics or a similar discipline – or you have equivalent evidenced experience in one of these areas.
Experience delivering healthcare research, analysis and synthesis across disease areas or clinical contexts. We will prioritise applications from those with experience of delivering this kind of research in true consulting or commercial contexts
Experience leading projects and technical workstreams, including project planning, resource coordination, budget awareness, risk management and review of deliverables, with an appreciation of the value that diverse backgrounds, disciplines and cultures bring to better problem-solving.
Strong experience of health economic modelling and analysis to support decision making, including the design and build of models.
Expertise in statistical software such as Stata, R and/or SAS. Proficiency in Excel is essential.
Experience delivering for a range of clients, which may include global commercial organisations, SMEs, academic institutions, public-sector bodies, NGOs and charities, and contributing to proposals, scoping conversations and follow-on opportunities.
Adaptable and flexible in your thinking, and able to respond to the changes and uncertainty that working in a consultancy entails.
Able to apply health economics across diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, health interventions, healthcare policy or guideline development, with a solid understanding of clinical and epidemiological contexts.
Strong client relationship skills, with the ability to lead day-to-day client engagement on assigned projects, identify and interpret clients’ needs, wants and worries, and influence, guide and collaborate with stakeholders while escalating significant account, commercial or strategic matters appropriately.
Clear and thoughtful communication skills, with the ability to translate complex ideas into accessible, compelling messages and disseminate findings through reports, stakeholder engagement, white papers and peer-reviewed publications.
A consistent role model of positive behaviours – bringing integrity, maturity and a collaborative approach that supports strong team culture and project outcomes.
A growth mindset, with the desire to learn, improve, mentor colleagues, coordinate inclusive project teams and contribute to team capability.
Ability to manage multiple projects or workstreams, maintain high standards under pressure, review analytical work and deliverables produced by colleagues, and contribute to a positive, solutions-focused team environment.
Experience mentoring and developing junior colleagues is expected. Experience formally line managing Research Assistants, Analysts or Associate Consultants is desirable, or you will be ready to develop this responsibility with appropriate support.
This role requires excellent command of the English language at CEFR level C2 or equivalent, in order to draft complex reports, interpret technical documents, and communicate effectively with the team and stakeholders.
Why Aquarius Population Health?
Transforming health, for everyone
The team, and our clients, tell us that Aquarius is special, and that it stands apart from many HEOR-category agencies. Whether that’s true or not, we know we’re proudly independent. That independence of spirit allows us to be a consultancy that tackles complex, often novel questions about what evidence is required to improve health and healthcare systems – and then be entrusted to generate it for our clients and collaborators to the right level of rigour. Consulting in this way allows us to work with anyone, and means our clients trust us for our independence and expertise. It is why we proudly feature our clients’ and team’s published work on our website.
Oh, and you should know that HTAs don’t do it for us, so if you love them (and lots do!) we mightn’t be the HEOR agency for you. If you are interested, what will you get if you do join us?
Impactful work: all our work influences healthcare intervention decisions or policy at local, national and/or global level, informing policy, pathway change and investment decisions.
Being part of a small team, you will feel that intimate and personal connectedness alongside your teammates.
Super-clever colleagues with diverse expertise: collaborate with an international, multidisciplinary team spanning epidemiology, HEOR, modelling, qualitative research, writing and more.
Varied partnerships: work with clients and collaborators across commercial biopharma, diagnostics, healthtech, public sector, NGOs and academia.
Strong scientific credibility: contribute to peer-reviewed publications and evidence that stands up to rigorous validation from the expert community.
Vibrant working environment: our home at Tileyard Studios includes a lively café, an on-site brewery bar, regular social events and a creative community atmosphere. A brilliant coffee machine, every tea in the universe, plus a healthy and welcoming company breakfast, every day (all day) if you want!
Personal development: we are growing, and every day we grow as people. We want to create a place where everyone wants to stay and reap the rewards of working within a great team. That’s why everyone gets their own annual training budget.
Working pattern & location
We believe passionately in the value of properly developed relationships combined with the value of flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid working model with a minimum of two days per week at our London office in Tileyard Studios, King’s Cross. There is also the option to ‘work from anywhere*’ for up to 6 weeks a year.
