About the

Role

The Analyst position is ideal for those

with experience in scientific research and for enthusiastic recent

graduates in the sciences who are seeking the opportunity to be

part of a growing team. You will be based in our Singapore office

working in our Asia-Pacific team, as well as collaborating with

colleagues from our UK and US teams.

Our Medical

Writers and Analysts work on projects involving the detailed

analysis of data from clinical trials and the assimilation and

creative presentation of this analysis in different formats

including posters, slide sets, value dossiers, reports and

peer-reviewed publications. These deliverables are used directly by

our clients in communication with external stakeholders

instrumental to the successful uptake of novel therapies. The work

is structured on a project-by-project basis and you will usually be

working on several projects in different disease areas at any one

time.

You will work in project teams alongside

experienced colleagues in both the Singapore UK and US offices who

provide one-to-one training in the technical aspects of the role,

including project management and effective client communication.

Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients

and, following a successful induction period, you will increasingly

engage in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external

stakeholders.

Positions are available for those

looking for an entry-level role as well as those with some prior

experience. We are looking for ambitious individuals with the

potential to progress rapidly into more senior roles involving

greater project management and client responsibility. Costello

Medical is structured into divisional teams focusing on distinct

services within the healthcare industry. Our Singapore office is

structured around three teams who focus on Medical Communications,

Evidence Development, and Market Access. The role is for a new hire

who is likely to primarily work within the Evidence Development

division but would also work cross-divisionally for a part of their

time with other divisions, according to business

need.

Medical

Communications :

Medical communications provide the scientific bridge

between clinical development and commercial functions in

pharmaceutical and device companies. Most activities have a strong

patient and / or healthcare professional (HCP) focus, and act to

educate and inform clinical decision making and patient care, or to

gather insights that inform a product's clinical development. These

projects require the ability to work closely with clients and

prominent HCPs to deliver high quality writing that is

scientifically rigorous, patient focused, and in line with the

strategic positioning of the pharmaceutical or medical devices

products. Working in medical communications at Costello Medical

requires excellent project management skills, constant dedication

to customer service and the development of strong relationships

with clients, academics, and HCPs in the APAC region and

globally.

It is possible to work within our

medical communications service offering as an Analyst or Medical

Writer, with both roles sharing the same level of responsibility.

Medical Writers specialise in the

strategic planning and development of publications, which include

abstracts, posters, oral presentations and manuscripts targeted at

scientific journals and conferences. Analysts

work across a variety of medical affairs projects

and specialise in services such as advisory boards, and the

development and multi-channel communication of educational

scientific content for a wide range of audiences. The most relevant

job title will be discussed with you during the application

process.

Market

Access :

Market access supports timely patient access to drugs and devices,

involving the assessment of clinical efficacy and safety alongside

costs to determine the value of a therapy within a specific disease

area. Market access activities are targeted at a wide range of

stakeholders who are instrumental to the successful funding and

uptake of novel therapies, such as government bodies, payers,

health technology appraisal (HTA) agencies, HCPs, and patients. Our

Market Access team supports a wide range of clients in producing

materials to demonstrate both the clinical and economic value of

some of the newest, most innovative technologies in development.

Our work is multidisciplinary, often beginning with evidence

generation in the form of literature reviews, advisory boards with

clinicians and payers, or economic modelling, to inform the

development of materials that present an evidence-based account of

the product's value in a compelling and accessible

manner.

Analysts working

across our Market Access services support a diverse range of value

and access, HTA and health economics projects. These include

developing product value messages and materials (e.g. brochures,

slidesets, white papers, etc.), building health economic tools and

models, and developing dossiers for submission to HTA agencies. A

role in the Market Access division suits those who are passionate

about patient access to healthcare, are fast-learners and have a

strategic, problem-solving mindset. Exceptional writing skills are

also essential, especially the ability to summarise complex data in

a clear and creative way with high levels of attention to

detail.

rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">

Evidence

Development :

Evidence-based medicine is the cornerstone of

medical decision-making. The work of our Evidence Development team

encompasses literature reviews, synthesis and real-world evidence

generation.

Our literature review and synthesis

projects involve the identification of clinical, economic and

real-world evidence to support the value of a pharmaceutical

product or medical device. Our work includes rigorous systematic

literature reviews that our Statisticians often use to conduct

meta-analyses and network meta-analyses, therefore Analysts in this

team work together with our Statisticians to provide seamless

scientific and technical support to our clients. We also work on

more creative and pragmatic evidence reviews to inform clients'

strategic decisions with regard to clinical development or market

access. You will gain a thorough understanding of how to conduct

various kinds of evidence review from searching to interpretation

of statistical results and ensuring that the reviews conform to

industry guidelines where applicable. You will also be involved in

writing up the methods and results of the reviews and statistical

analyses into engaging reports, slide sets and often

congress / journal publications.

Our real-world

evidence projects include the design, execution and subsequent

reporting of prospective, retrospective or cross-sectional

real-world studies. We develop protocols and statistical analysis

plans (in collaboration with our Statisticians, Epidemiologists,

clients and external experts), acquire and analyse data, and

communicate the methodologies and results in both written and oral

formats.

Analysts

in our Evidence Development team are passionate

about finding, synthesising and generating evidence, they have

excellent attention to detail and organisational skills, and a

talent for

communication.
