Director of HEOR

WHO WE ARE ☝🏼 

Kintiga is a specialist, pan-European consultancy focused on helping clients secure patient access for new innovations. We combine global perspectives with deep local expertise, working with companies as they navigate the realities of bringing new therapies to market.  

We believe impact comes from focus. Rather than covering multiple aspects of consulting, we concentrate on market access and HEOR — areas where we have real depth. This allows us to work on complex, high-stakes challenges and deliver work that stands up to scrutiny.  

Our culture is a strength: thoughtful, collaborative, and entrepreneurial. We value clear thinking, honest work, and practical impact — helping improve access to the latest medicines for patients across Europe.
