As a primary contact, you will source necessary inhouse expertise and help coordinate across interfacing projects within one of our top accounts.

• 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 (expertise in Medical Affairs and Capability Building an advantage)
• 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.
• Strong experience in one or more of the following project areas:
  -> 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 models designs, 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.
• Fluency in English, with proficiency in additional languages being a plus.
• Candidates must have full right to work in the UK, as we are unable to provide visa sponsorship at this time.
