Kearney Healthcare & Life Sciences Practice Manager (Pharma Commercial Strategy)

Job Description As a Manager, you will be an integral part of Kearney case teams, working closely with clients and colleagues to develop insights and deliver high-impact results. You will support engagements from start to finish—problem definition through analysis, synthesis, and client communication. You will contribute to client work addressing challenges related to corporate strategy, performance improvement, enterprise transformation, mergers & acquisitions, and commercial strategy initiatives. We are seeking experienced strategy consultants with deep expertise in commercial strategy within Life Sciences, particularly those with a traditional consulting background advising biopharma clients on growth, portfolio strategy, go-to-market strategy, and market access strategy. Key responsibilities:

• Structuring and conducting quantitative and qualitative analyses
• Supporting corporate, growth, product, pricing, and commercial strategy engagements for Life Sciences clients
• Advising biopharma and health clients on strategic growth, operational improvement, and market positioning initiatives
• Contributing to enterprise transformation initiatives, including organizational design and effectiveness
• Synthesizing findings into clear, concise storylines and client-ready materials
• Supporting business development efforts, including proposal development and client presentations
• Working collaboratively with team members and client stakeholders in a fast-paced environment

Who you are: After nearly 100 years, we know this business is fundamentally about making connections—between facts, figures, insights, strategies, tools, technologies, and above all, people. That’s why we look for collaborative, insightful, and inquisitive problem-solvers who don’t accept the first thing in front of them and who are always unapologetically themselves. We want to hear from you if you have:

• An MBA (preferred) and 8+ years of professional experience
• Experience working in management consulting (required)
• Relevant experience within Life Sciences, including expertise supporting Biopharma Commercial strategy
• Experience supporting strategy development, product strategy, pricing strategy, or commercial excellence engagements within Life Sciences
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Experience leading proposal development, participating in client pitches, and driving business development within existing accounts
• A passion for leading teams and mentoring colleagues
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage at least one major workstream
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Proven ability to work effectively in team-based, client-facing environments
• A willingness to travel as required

What we can offer you: Every day, our people work to be the difference for our clients, our communities, and our colleagues. Helping them make an impact, they are sustained by a competitive remuneration package plus comprehensive benefits and perks, including but not limited to:

• Generous retirement/pension savings contributions
• Comprehensive medical insurance for employees and immediate family
• Gym membership discounts
• Non-partner equity-based awards (for consulting managers and above)
