Senior Associate, Healthcare Due Diligence, Policy & Investment

We are seeking a Senior Associate with specialized expertise in European healthcare policy and private equity transaction work. This role can be based in London. The ideal candidate will have direct experience conducting fast-paced commercial and policy diligence for PE sponsors, combining rigorous analytical frameworks with deep knowledge of European healthcare regulation, reimbursement, and market structures to assess investment opportunities.

The Role

Senior Associates develop differentiated investment insights grounded in sophisticated policy analysis and European healthcare market dynamics. You will interact regularly with policymakers, regulators, government stakeholders, and private equity investors across European healthcare systems. This role requires the ability to translate complex and evolving policy environments into actionable investment theses within 2–4 week transaction sprint timelines typical of PE diligence processes.

Required Qualifications

Experience Profile:

• 3+ years at a top-tier management consulting firm or boutique healthcare strategy advisory with demonstrated private equity diligence experience
• Direct involvement in buy-side or sell-side healthcare due diligence, ideally across multiple sub-sectors (providers, payers/insurers, healthcare services, life sciences services, digital health, tech-enabled care)
• Proven ability to structure and execute rapid diligence workstreams within compressed 2–4 week deal cycles
• Understanding of European regulatory frameworks, reimbursement mechanisms (e.g., NHS, Assurance Maladie, statutory health insurance systems, DRG pricing), and healthcare funding dynamics
• Strong executive presence and client-facing skills developed in transaction-driven environments
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex policy and market dynamics into clear investment implications
• Self-directed work style with the ability to manage multiple concurrent diligence engagements
• Strong interest in the intersection of healthcare policy, politics, and private equity investing and legislative developments (national and EU-level) to investment risk and upside

Education And Technical Requirements

• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (MBA, MPP, MPH, MSc, JD/LLM, PHD) preferred
• Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in consulting, healthcare, policy analysis, or related fields
• Strong academic record
• Advanced proficiency in MS Excel and PowerPoint
• Eligibility to work in the UK without employer sponsorship

What Sets This Role Apart

Unlike traditional policy or consulting roles, you will directly influence capital allocation decisions by translating healthcare policy dynamics into investment risk/opportunity assessments. You'll combine the analytical rigor of PE diligence with the strategic foresight of policy analysis.
