Associate Consultant Co-op (January to June 2023)

Associate Consultant Co-op

Putnam is looking for top performers to join their firm. As an Associate Consultant Co-op you will gain insight into the strategic issues facing today's life sciences companies, as well as the specific challenges impacting the healthcare industry. The complexities of the industry provide an opportunity to gain comprehensive knowledge of both the science and business sides of healthcare. Co-ops work in case teams of 4-7 professionals led by a Manager or Partner. While responsibilities vary greatly from case to case, they are instrumental in developing the building blocks to identify critical issues, develop key analytical components, and ultimately, drive conclusions and recommendations. Through this process, co-ops develop sound business and strategy fundamentals and a thorough understanding of solving complex business issues. #LI-DNI

Our diverse casework spans portfolio prioritization, development pathway and resource optimization, market assessment, product pricing and launch strategies, market segment growth strategies, sales and marketing strategies, franchise development and patent expiration strategies.
