Vice President, European Healthcare Policy & Investment

We are seeking an analyst with specialized expertise in European healthcare policy and private equity transaction work. This role can be based in London or Paris. 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

Analysts 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:

• 5+ 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
• Healthcare policy fluency – strong 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

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience working with or within healthcare-focused private equity platforms
• Direct collaboration with PE sponsors, deal teams, or portfolio company leadership
• Understanding of value creation frameworks in European healthcare services, care delivery, payer/insurer, or regulated provider businesses
• Policy analysis experience through prior roles in UK or EU government bodies, regulatory agencies, think tanks, trade associations, or consulting policy practices
• Demonstrated ability to link regulatory 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) preferred
• Minimum 5 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 or France 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.
