Job description

Senior Consultant – Capability Building and Business Transformation (Pharma)
Location: London | Full-time
Join Executive Insight and help shape the future of healthcare.

About Executive Insight
Executive Insight is a specialized healthcare consultancy that partners with leading biopharmaceutical companies to prepare, launch, and commercialize their products successfully. With offices in London, Zurich, and New York, we work as one integrated team across borders.

Our culture is built on honesty, freedom, and caring. We believe that while individual talent is essential, true excellence is achieved through collaboration, shared ideas, and intellectual curiosity. We foster a non-hierarchical, open environment where teamwork and trust drive impactful outcomes in the dynamic world of healthcare consulting.

About the Role
As a Senior Consultant at Executive Insight, you will play a pivotal role in delivering high-impact projects, shaping strategic recommendations, and mentoring junior colleagues. You’ll lead workstreams within larger engagements and contribute to business development alongside managers and partners.

You’ll collaborate closely with clients as part of cross-functional teams to optimize processes, enhance operating models, and deliver enterprise-level transformation across key business areas. You’ll be trusted to engage directly with a broad set of client stakeholders, propose actionable frameworks and solutions and maintain clear communication to client teams and leadership. As a primary contact, you will source necessary inhouse expertise and help coordinate across interfacing projects with our top accounts. The focus of the role will be on capability building and business transformation which can extend to multiple service areas (Medical affairs, Commercial, Market Access, Government Affairs and Patient Affairs)

What You’ll Do
As a Senior Consultant you will join fast-paced highly visible transformation projects, with a primary focus on elevating functions within pharma.
The key objectives of this role will be to:

• Analyze business problems and identify opportunities for improvement across strategy, operations, and organizational structure.
• Develop and present strategic recommendations based on data-driven insights, client in-house analysis, and client goals.
• Collaborate with client stakeholders to understand needs, align on objectives, and ensure successful implementation of solutions.
• Lead or support project workstreams, managing timelines, deliverables, and team coordination.
• Facilitate workshops and meetings to gather input, drive alignment, and build consensus among cross-functional teams.
• Support change management efforts, including communication planning, training, and stakeholder engagement.
• Contribute to business development, such as preparing proposals, identifying new opportunities, and building client relationships.
• Support internal initiatives such as marketing, recruitment, and training.

What We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate for the Senior Consultant role will have:

• A minimum of 4 years of consulting experience in the pharmaceutical or life sciences industry.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, coupled with a collaborative and relationship-driven mindset.
• A structured, results-oriented working style that’s adaptable to dynamic environments.
• Experience in these project areas would be very valuable: Capability building - critical assessment of organisational capabilities, developing functional strategies, transformation roadmaps and driving management buy-in for a business area. Business /Enterprise Transformation - development or improvement of processes, operating model design, capability building programs (knowledge of relevant transformation concepts an advantage)
• Proven experience as the primary client contact, with the ability to align stakeholders, managing leadership steering committees, reaching organizational buy-in and communicate effectively across diverse audiences.

Why Executive Insight?
At Executive Insight, we value diverse perspectives, deep expertise, and long-term client relationships. We are committed to delivering exceptional quality and fostering a supportive, high-performing team culture.

We know that our people are our greatest asset. That’s why we invest in a thoughtful recruitment process—to ensure the right fit for both you and us.
