About Us

We help our clients grow their revenues and profits. Faster, better, and more sustainably than anyone else. We do this by optimizing their pricing, sales, and marketing strategies.

Simon-Kucher is a global consultancy with a clear focus on top-line growth. With more than 1,400 employees in 26 countries worldwide, we deliver measurable revenue and profit growth for clients from all industries and regions. Our projects increase our clients’ profitability by 100 to 500 basis points on average.

Our core values include integrity, respect, team spirit, and entrepreneurship. The latter is especially important. All of our more than 140 Partners are not only owners of the company, they are also entrepreneurs in the truest sense of the word. They are responsible for the economic success and future development of our business.

We are now looking for Interns to join our Life Sciences team in our London office in Autumn/Winter 2021.

The role and its impact:

Internships within Life Sciences usually last around 12 weeks and are designed to expose individuals to working on client projects. Interns can expect responsibility from the outset as a valued member of the project team. Throughout your time at Simon-Kucher & Partners, you will contribute to analysis and results and can benefit from working alongside experienced Consultants, Directors and Partners.

What you bring:

We are looking for internship candidates who are interested in learning more about a career in commercial strategy consulting with a specific focus on Life Sciences. We have entry level Consultant positions available for top performing interns who would like to stay on after their internship. To apply you will have:

• A strong interest in Life Sciences
• A strong academic background, including degree level study
• Excellent communication skills
• High percentile numeric, verbal and inductive reasoning skills
• A strong desire to work in a fast paced commercially agile environment
• Enthusiasm, curiosity and a belief that you can achieve the best results

We offer internships to candidates from a variety of undergraduate subject backgrounds, though it is more common for Life Sciences interns to have a STEM or management subject background – what you bring with you enables you to thrive and helps us to continue to grow. Exposure to consulting within a student society is not required, but you will need to evidence your interest in commercial strategy and Life Sciences clearly in your application.

What we offer:

You will be paid above the London real Living Wage. We offer hybrid working – you should expect to mix your work location between our office and the option to remote work for an element of your time.

Simon-Kucher & Partners is growing. This results in an entrepreneurial and inspiring work environment with lots of responsibilities and a steep learning curve. Internships are the main route we use to recruit entry level Consultants to our London office, so if you perform well during your time as an intern there is the real opportunity to continue your career with us.
