Senior Recruitment Consultant

Think of a recruitment firm that actually knows its market - not just the buzzwords, but the science, the stakeholders, and the nuances of what great talent looks like in Life Sciences. That's exactly who this is. A specialist consultancy with deep roots across the UK and US, they've spent years building a reputation in Medical Devices, Clinical Operations, Pharma, CROs, and Manufacturing that most firms only dream about. Their clients come back not because they have to - but because the quality of delivery keeps raising the bar.

This isn't a transactional shop. It's collaborative, growth-focused, and genuinely invested in the people who work there - which is exactly why they're growing their Boston team and looking for someone ready to step up.

The Opportunity

Principal Consultant/Associate Director – Life Sciences 360 | Boston, MA | Competitive Salary + Uncapped Commission

This is a proper 360 desk - business development, candidate delivery, client relationships, and all the satisfaction (and commission) that comes with owning the full cycle. You'll have the autonomy to run things your way, with the backing of a well-established brand, a fantastic toolkit, and experienced leadership that actually mentors rather than micromanages.

You'll be recruiting across some of the most exciting corners of Life Sciences - Medical Devices, Clinical Operations, Pharmaceuticals, and CROs - while tapping into both US and international teams to maximise opportunities. The goal? Become the go-to expert in your vertical and build a desk that's genuinely yours.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Own the full recruitment lifecycle from first call to signed offer
• Hunt new business and grow existing client relationships consultatively
• Build a candidate network that becomes a genuine competitive edge
• Collaborate across US and international teams to unlock cross-market opportunities
• Establish yourself as the trusted expert in your chosen Life Sciences vertical
• Grow your career within a business that's built for it

Who You Are

You've got 3–6 years in a 360 recruitment seat, you love the BD side as much as the delivery, and you're genuinely curious about the Life Sciences market. Medical Device experience?

• Strong business development drive and commercial mindset
• Life Sciences recruitment experience preferred

• Driven to grow and develop your career in a market-leading business
