Who You Are

You are enrolled or have completed your Bachelor’s studies at a university, preferably in the field of Economics, Health Economics, Public Health, Statistics, Data Science, or Operational Research within the last 12 months and are interested in applying your knowledge in a competitive, results-oriented  environment as part of an internship.

Furthermore, you are:

• A curious and enthusiastic learner. You will work on projects which involve exciting innovations across healthcare. As each challenge will be different, a curiosity to understand the impacts that these innovations have across all internal and external stakeholders is a must.

• Keen to get stuck into the work and develop yourself as an economist. You will develop both soft and hard skills throughout the internship, and will be supported to do this by the team and organisation, who will help to ensure that you have access to the right tools for the right job. We also welcome new ideas around new ways of working and will encourage you to bring suggestions on how we can improve how we deliver on our mission of “doing now what patients need next”.

• A great communicator. You will be empowered and supported to lead the development of analysis with a huge variety of stakeholders globally who will look towards you as an expert in Economics. Communicating your perspectives and work will be at least as important as the technical solutions you create.
