Our Innovation x Intelligence (IxI) division is a fast‑moving, insight‑fuled team that blends the rigor of consulting with the creativity of brand strategy. Backed by the combined firepower of BGB Group and Kx Advisors, we help biopharma clients unlock smarter, braver strategies that improve lives. We go deep‑leveraging primary research, data analysis, and real‑world experience to crack complex commercial challenges across portfolio strategy, market assessment, go‑to‑market planning, and product launch.

Who This Role is For

• Plugged into the world—curious about how brands behave, why people make the choices they do, and how culture influences commerce.
• Always asking questions—excited to challenge assumptions and learn from mistakes.
• Enjoys navigating ambiguity and shaping bold, actionable paths forward.

• Serve as a strategy and thought partner to clients and senior officers of the firm.
• Utilize IxI technology products and client‑provided information to develop conclusions and recommendations (written and verbal).
• Work with senior members of the team to scope and develop proposals for new projects.
• Engage in practice planning discussions, including practice strategy and marketing.
• Analyze research and data to uncover insights and build smart, usable recommendations.
• Craft compelling, client‑ready presentations that tell clear, powerful stories.
• Collaborate across disciplines—working with creatives, behavioral scientists, and technologists.
• Contribute to business development by building proposals and nurturing client relationships.
• Help shape our practice by engaging in strategic planning and marketing initiatives.

What You Bring

• 7–8 years of life sciences consulting experience, ideally at a top consulting firm or life sciences data organization.
• BA/BS required; MBA or Master’s in a related field preferred.
• Strong data analyst and synthesis skills—connecting dots others miss.
• Proven leadership across multiple workstreams and teams.
• Excellent communication and people management skills.
• Foreign language skills a plus, but not required.
• A self‑starting, collaborative mindset—you lead with curiosity and clarity.

Why Join Us?

• Small team energy, big company support—backed by BGB and Kx.
• High‑impact work, early responsibility—you’ll contribute from day one.
• A learning‑first culture—mentorship, peer support, and space to grow.
