• Operational Excellence: Oversee P&L, platform partnerships, data management, and network sourcing workflows to ensure efficiency and quality.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with project leaders to anticipate upcoming needs and shape expert engagement strategies that enhance project outcomes.
• Market Insight: Track emerging influences and thought leaders across healthcare, life sciences, and market access ecosystems to inform network expansion.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in expert network management, consulting research operations, or other relationship-driven sourcing roles (life sciences or healthcare background preferred).
• Background in a recruiting or executive search agency is highly transferable, especially experience curating specialized talent pipelines or expert networks.
• Proven success building curated networks or strategic partnerships that deliver measurable impact.
• Exceptional interpersonal and negotiation skills; strong brand ambassador presence when interacting with external experts.
• Experience balancing high-volume research needs and specialized project sourcing.
• Demonstrated ability to manage budgets, prioritize investments, and lead small, agile teams.
