ultrainnovative – Tackle rare and dynamic challenges

Ultragenyx is preparing for the potential commercialization of a rare disease Antisense oligonucleotide therapy for the treatment of Angelman Syndrome. We are seeking a highly analytical, collaborative MBA Intern to support global launch readiness with a specific focus on Phase 3 (Ph3) data–driven scenario planning. This role will help design and execute workstreams and trigger-based plans that activate when Ph3 data become available. For example, the intern may lead pressure-testing a comprehensive plan to update the forecast, value proposition, Target Product Profile (TPP), positioning, and developing and testing core messages under different data readout scenarios (e.g., positive primary endpoint, mixed/secondary strength, subgroup effects).

Remote: Officially documented as working full-time from home, with travel to Ultragenyx's offices or other locations on occasion as needed.

1. Build a scenario framework for anticipated Ph3 readouts (primary/secondary endpoint outcomes, safety profile ranges, subpopulation signals, sensitivity analyses). 
2. Work with the cross-functional team to design decision trees and activation triggers linked to each scenario, mapping implications for updating all global materials. 
3. Define insight needs (ad boards, message testing, ATUs, discrete choice/TPP trade-offs, analog analysis) triggered by each scenario. 
4. Recommend governance cadence (war room / stand-ups, escalation paths, decision logs) for the 0–90 days post-readout window. 

1. Current MBA student (rising 2nd year or equivalent) with a focus in Marketing, Strategy, Healthcare Management, or Finance. 
2. 2–3+ years pre-MBA experience in biopharma, life sciences consulting, healthcare investing/analytics, or related. 
3. Strong strategic thinking and structured problem solving; comfort with ambiguity and scenario-based planning. 
4. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills 
5. Optional Experience in neurology, CNS, or rare/orphan diseases, or early/first launch environments.
