Vice President, Life Sciences Strategy Consulting

Vice President, Life Sciences Strategy Consulting

Kx Advisors New York, NY

At BGBx, we're driven by a simple idea: breakthrough thinking creates breakthrough impact. As an independent commercial solutions partner to pharmaceutical and life science companies, we bring together strategists, scientists, communicators, creatives, technologists, and data experts to tackle some of healthcare's most important challenges. Our teams work across consulting and communications to help clients shape strategy, launch innovations, engage stakeholders, and drive meaningful results throughout the product lifecycle. The work is complex, fast-moving, and deeply connected to improving lives, creating opportunities for curious minds to make a real difference every day. If you're energized by collaboration, inspired by innovation, and motivated by work that matters, you'll find a place to grow, contribute, and make a meaningful impact at BGBx.

BGB is a healthcare communications agency that offers a wide range of services, including traditional pharmaceutical advertising, promotional medical education, payer marketing, and consulting services. Known for excellence and professionalism, we're hired as strategic and creative partners by our biopharmaceutical clients to drive category/brand awareness and growth.

At BGB Group, we don't just analyze the healthcare landscape - we shape it. Our Innovation x Intelligence (IxI) division is a small, fast-moving team that works like a start-up - agile, curious, and ambitious - but with the backing of two industry powerhouses: BGB Group and Kx Advisors. That means you get the best of both worlds: the freedom to explore bold thinking, and the creative and strategic firepower to turn it into action. We bring together strategists, consultants, behavioral scientists, innovation experts, and tech specialists to tackle the big, thorny questions in healthcare - helping biopharma clients unlock smarter, braver strategies that improve the lives of people living with disease. We go deep - using bespoke AI-powered tools to uncover the unknowns that shift thinking, reframe decisions, and open up new possibilities. "We're a small team, and we're all very different-but what unites us is this weird, shared joy in cracking hard problems that actually help people."

This role is for the question-askers. The curious. The culturally attuned. The ones who care. You love big, juicy problems that don't come with obvious answers. You're plugged into the world - curious about how brands behave, why people make the choices they do, and how culture influences commerce. You were that kid in class - the one with another question, the one who got excited to be wrong because it meant learning something new. And, most importantly, you want to use your skills for something that matters. You're energized by the idea of making life better for people living with disease - and helping healthcare brands live up to their potential. You see strategy and creativity as allies, not opposites. You're comfortable with ambiguity, fueled by insight, and energized by finding a smarter way through.

As a Vice President, you'll help the world's top biopharma companies solve some of their biggest brand and business challenges. From redefining brand strategy to exploring patient behavior, from future-scaping therapeutic categories to shaping commercial narratives - you'll work on a wide spectrum of projects with real-world impact. And you won't be doing it alone. You'll join a collaborative, idea-rich team who'll challenge your thinking, support your growth, and probably make you laugh along the way.
