IntegriChain is seeking a detailed-oriented, polished, data-savvy, professional who is also energetic, outgoing and personable to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate is not only a natural relationship-builder but also highly organized, self-driven, and eager to dive into technical information such as health care regulatory guidance and federal legislations while bringing enthusiasm to every challenge. They thrive in a collaborative environment, enjoy solving complex problems, and aren’t afraid to ask clarifying questions to ensure success. This individual will provide ongoing support to customers - the most innovative life sciences and pharmaceutical companies in the world - who are launching new drug products or in a steady state with our pricing and contracting services.

This role, within the Advisory practice at IntegriChain, is part of an elite team of consultants who leverage their Life Sciences domain expertise to analyze, model, and synthesize secondary information to provide insights to our customers within the Government Pricing (“GP”) domain area.

It’s a thrilling time to join the Advisory team at IntegriChain! This team works with many small manufacturers bringing their first product to market, which presents individuals with opportunities to accelerate their understanding of the complex pharmaceutical supply chain and how interconnected pricing, contracting, market access and patient programs impact a patient’s ability to access the therapy and a manufacturer’s bottom line.
