The Team and the opportunity

At EY, you’ll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture and technology to become the best version of you. And we’re counting on your unique voice and perspective to help EY become even better, too. Join us and build an exceptional experience for yourself, and a better working world for all.

EY believes a better working world means addressing big, complex issues to deliver outcomes that grow, optimise and protect our clients' businesses. The world is constantly changing, creating abundant opportunities and essential risks for government, public and private sector organisations. In Transformation Architecture, we help our clients see their future and define their purpose, and then we design, lead and deliver the end-to-end transformations to realise this ambition.

Life Sciences is a rapidly growing sector in EY Ireland. We are expanding our Life Sciences Strategy and Transformation capability, with a focus across the end‑to‑end pharmaceutical, biotech and medtech value chain - including R&D, Medical Affairs, Commercial, Market Access and health system engagement.

As a Senior Consultant, you will help deliver high‑quality engagements for Life Sciences clients, applying analytical rigour, strategic insight and creative problem‑solving. You will work alongside senior team members to support the design and delivery of innovative solutions that address affordability, access, operational and patient‑outcome challenges across health systems and industry.

This is the ideal opportunity for individuals with strong consulting experience - or experience within a Life Sciences organisation - who are eager to accelerate their career in Life Sciences business consulting and contribute to the growth of EY’s Life Sciences practice in Ireland.

• Conduct qualitative and quantitative research, synthesising insights into clear, compelling outputs aligned to client objectives.
• Support senior team members in the preparation and facilitation of client workshops, stakeholder interviews and working sessions.
• Develop high‑quality deliverables including frameworks, reports, models and strategic recommendations.

• At least 3 years’ experience with a consulting firm or in industry within a pharmaceutical, biotech or medtech organisation.
• Experience supporting projects in areas such as Commercial Strategy, Market Access, Pricing, Medical Affairs, evidence generation, RWE, Digital Health, New Product Planning or related domains.
• A strong academic background, ideally in a Life Sciences, Health, Economics, Business or related discipline.
• Experience in client‑facing environments with exposure to stakeholder engagement and the development of structured recommendations.

Ideally, you’ll also have some experience of delivering elements of projects such as

• Experience working across geographies or with global Life Sciences clients.
• Exposure to thought‑leadership development (e.g., contributing to articles, white papers or presentations).
• A willingness to travel internationally as required.

What we look for
