Relevant areas include discovery and development, clinical trials, regulatory and quality, manufacturing and supply chain, commercial launch, patient services, data and AI, cloud modernization, enterprise applications and digital operating models.

Key responsibilities

• Own the growth agenda. Set the commercial strategy, priority markets, target account architecture and investment choices required to achieve the portfolio ambition.
• Win new logos. Personally lead executive access, pursuit strategy and closing for major new clients, while building a disciplined team based origination engine.
• Shape large deals. Work with consulting, delivery, engineering, alliances and solution teams to convert industry problems into differentiated, outcome based propositions and multiyear programs.
• Build market credibility. Represent the organization with senior industry executives, boards, partners and ecosystem leaders. Strengthen the external point of view on AI, digital engineering and regulated transformation.
• Integrate three businesses. Align Life Sciences, Healthcare and Medical Devices leadership around a common growth plan without losing the specialist depth of each sector.
• Run a rigorous pipeline. Establish clear qualification, account prioritization, forecasting, deal governance and conversion disciplines. Maintain visibility into revenue, margin, risk and resource needs.
• Develop leadership capacity. Coach senior sales and sector leaders, raise standards for consultative selling and create a collaborative culture that connects front end growth with delivery excellence.
• Expand selectively. Use existing relationships when they can unlock substantial new programs, but keep the role centered on new revenue rather than routine farming or account administration.

• Executive relationships and a relevant network across pharmaceutical, biotech, MedTech, payer, provider or HealthTech organizations.
