Description

Company Description Are you looking to join an organization that is growing and dynamic? What about a high-energy, collaborative environment that rewards hard work? J.S. Held is a global consulting firm that combines technical, scientific, financial, and strategic expertise to advise clients seeking to realize value and mitigate risk. Our professionals serve as trusted advisors to organizations facing high stakes matters demanding urgent attention, staunch integrity, proven experience, clear-cut analysis, and an understanding of both tangible and intangible assets. The firm provides a comprehensive suite of services, products, and data that enable clients to navigate complex, contentious, and often catastrophic situations. Job Description We are seeking a Senior Epidemiologist with ~7-15+ years of post‑graduate, applied experience in consulting to join our Health Sciences practice. The ideal candidate combines technical depth in epidemiologic methods with a seller‑doer mindset, demonstrated expert‑witness/testifying experience, and a portable book of business. Preference will be given to candidates with expertise in occupational or environmental epidemiology, though we remain open to adjacent applied fields (e.g., pharmacoepidemiology, injury epidemiology) where litigation/regulatory support experience is strong. What You’ll Do Client development & revenue growth (seller–doer): Originate, expand, and retain client relationships; meet or exceed annual personal sales and delivery targets; lead pursuit strategy, scoping, and pricing; partner with cross‑functional colleagues to craft compelling proposals and thought leadership. Expert services & testimony: Serve as consulting expert and testifying expert in litigation and regulatory matters (depositions, reports, oral testimony). Translate complex epidemiologic analyses for legal and executive audiences. Project leadership: Design and manage multi‑workstream epidemiology engagements (e.g., exposure–response, incidence/prevalence, risk assessment, causal inference), overseeing study design, protocol development, and QC/QA of analyses and deliverables. Methods & analytics: Apply rigorous methods (case–control, cohort, time‑series, meta‑analysis, survival analysis, sensitivity analyses) and modern tools (R, Python, SAS, Stata) to generate defensible, decision‑grade insights. Practice building: Mentor junior staff and contribute to go‑to‑market collateral and external visibility (publications, conferences, webinars, client briefings). Qualifications Required Doctoral degree (PhD, ScD, or DrPH) in Epidemiology from a regionally accredited, research‑intensive (non‑profit) university. ~7-15+ years of post‑graduate, client‑facing consulting experience delivering epidemiology projects (litigation, regulatory, or risk management contexts). Proven seller‑doer track record with a portable book of business (size/sector mix to be discussed), including demonstrated annual origination and revenue delivery. Expert witness/testifying experience (deposition and/or courtroom), including authorship of expert reports and demonstrable effectiveness under cross‑examination. Advanced proficiency with epidemiologic methods and statistical software (R, Python, SAS, SPSS, or Stata) and the ability to direct analysts and external partners. Exceptional communication skills - capable of framing complex methods and results for attorneys, regulators, and corporate leaders. Preferred Familiarity with U.S. litigation. Existing visibility: publications, conference presentations, committee roles, and professional society leadership. Additional Information Some of the Benefits We Have Include J.S.
