Strong background managing pharmaceutical or biotech clients.
Experience leading KOL engagement initiatives and external expert programs.
Exposure to both Commercial and Medical Affairs functions.
Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders and complex workstreams simultaneously.
Strong financial acumen, including budgeting, forecasting, and scope management.
Exceptional communication, presentation, and client relationship skills.
Previous experience managing and mentoring team members.

Why This Opportunity?

Work with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
Highly strategic KOL engagement focus
Blend of Commercial and Medical Affairs workstreams
Visible role with direct client interaction and influence
Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture with strong growth trajectory
Opportunity to help shape account strategy and agency expansion
