Partner, Life Sciences

Half of new medicines fall short of their launch expectations. CF helps pharma, biotech and medtech companies change that by accelerating the adoption of innovation in health systems. We are looking for a Partner to win work and grow our Life Sciences practice, with a focus on global and EUCAN clients.

The Role

You will win and lead work with senior pharma, biotech and medtech clients, owning a portfolio of priority accounts and a personal revenue target. A central aim of the role is to open doors for CF with global and EUCAN teams, with a primary focus on our priority therapy areas: cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic disease (CVKM), neurodegenerative disease and oncology. We will still take on work in other therapy areas where we can add value. You will lead delivery of the work you win and, with the Managing Partner, build the practice and its team. As a member of our senior leadership team, you will recruit, mentor and develop the next generation of leaders in health.

We win work through relationships and insight. You will do well here if you enjoy meeting senior people, getting to the heart of their problem and shaping how CF can help.

What you will bring

• A record of winning consulting or advisory work from senior pharma, biotech or medtech buyers, with evidence of revenue won and clients who came back for more.
• Close relationships with senior global and EUCAN leaders, such as general managers and heads of market access, medical and commercial, that you can use to make introductions.
• Well-formed views on launch, market access and reimbursement, and deep knowledge of how NICE, NHS England, MHRA, EMA and national HTA bodies shape adoption.
• Entrepreneurial drive and resilience: you create opportunities, are comfortable approaching senior people you have not met, and keep going after a loss.
• Experience leading complex engagements and multidisciplinary teams, in consulting, industry or both.
• A record of mentoring and growing consultants, and of thought leadership in writing and on stage.
• Desirable: a clinical, scientific or health economics background, and another European language.

What you will sell

• Launch and uptake excellence: accelerating uptake before, during and after launch through guidelines, pathways, delivery models, incentives, reimbursement and partnerships with health systems. Our data covers every medicine launched in the UK, so we can track past uptake and project the future path by indication and geography.
• Integrated evidence review and generation: finding the gaps a value proposition must fill for patients, physicians, providers and payers, and generating real-world evidence in as little as four weeks from patient-level data.
• Policy and government influence: shaping the conditions for innovation through regulators, HTA bodies, government and the media, using our own record-level data to publish new insight.
