Job Description

Join our team and start a new adventure in an international and dynamic environment where you will be able to fulfil your career expectations in a fast-growing organization.

Being a manager at Amaris Consulting is best described as an intrapreneur’s role. Within our Health Economics & Market Access (HEMA) division, you will have the opportunity to create, develop, and manage your own Business Unit, with full operational and strategic control. Unlike traditional consultant roles, the HEMA division operates primarily on fixed-price projects delivered internally, which makes this position highly focused on business development with less emphasis on individual consultant management.

Recruitment & Team Leadership

• Ensure proper integration of consultants within internal delivery teams and manage their allocation across multiple projects
• Support key individuals in their career development and project engagement
• Manage intercontract periods with proactive and appropriate solutions
• Improve internal processes and propose new initiatives to enhance delivery quality and team efficiency

Financial & Performance Management

• Oversee the operational and financial success of your Business Unit
• Conduct advanced Profit & Loss analysis and take action to optimize both Turnover and Contributive Margin
• Monitor project follow-up and delivery reporting
• Contribute to business plan reviews and decision-making processes
• Address recovery situations and ensure client payment cycles are respected

Your profile

• Academic background : Master’s degree from an Engineering School or Business School, ideally with a focus on the pharmaceutical or health sector
• Experience with sales development or client engagement in consulting or life sciences is a plus
• Strong interest in strategic and operational roles in a dynamic consulting environment
• Structured and organized mindset, with a competitive and entrepreneurial spirit
• Fluent English (French is a plus)
• You have the ability to work independently, drive business growth, and deliver impactful solutions

What We Offer

• An international community bringing together 110+ different nationalities
• An environment where trust has a central place : 70% of our key leaders started their careers at the first level of responsibilities
• A robust training system with our internal Academy and 250+ available modules
• A vibrant workplace that frequently gathers for internal events (afterworks, team buildings, etc.)
• Strong commitments to CSR, notably through participation in our WeCare Together program

Amaris Consulting is proud to be an equal-opportunity workplace. We are committed to promoting diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment.
