Job description

Our client, a highly regarded life sciences strategy consultancy, is expanding its US platform and looking to hire a managing director with a track record of selling consulting engagements to US based life science corporations. The firm advises leading pharmaceutical, biotech and medtech organisations across high-impact strategic and commercial challenges, including asset strategy, launch excellence, patient and customer value, market access, commercial transformation and operating model design. Their work spans the full product lifecycle, from Phase II/III strategy through to post-launch growth and optimisation.

The business combines deep scientific expertise with strategy consulting, digital and AI-enabled capabilities, supporting a prestigious client base including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Roche, AbbVie, GSK, Takeda, Johnson & Johnson, Merck and Gilead.

They are particularly interested in individuals from both Tier 1 consultancies and specialist life sciences advisory firms who can demonstrate:

• Strong revenue generation and client origination capability within US life sciences consulting
• Experience leading and delivering complex consulting engagements across pharma, biotech or medtech
• Established relationships across commercial, medical affairs or market access functions
• A balance of commercial leadership, delivery excellence and team-building capability

The firm is open to both individual senior hires and small team moves, particularly where there is portable client network, proven sales capability and the ability to scale quickly. Primary hiring focus is across the East Coast US including Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Chicago, although strong West Coast life sciences networks will also be considered.

If you have built, sold and led life sciences consulting engagements and are looking for a more entrepreneurial platform with significant growth ambitions, we would welcome a confidential discussion.
