We’re seeking a senior-level Launch Consultant to join our team in supporting large biopharma clients preparing for launch. You’ll participate in and contribute to all phases of launch engagements, helping turn high-level vision into executable strategy. You’ll analyze challenges, draft recommendations, support alignment across functions, and communicate a clear path forward.

We'll trust you to:

• Collaborate with Senior Consultant(s) to understand client vision, strategic objectives, and launch requirements.
• Conduct business analysis: identify readiness gaps, collect and synthesize data, and perform market/competitive/operational assessments.
• Lead smaller workstreams: build draft recommendations, roadmaps, and deliverables for review and refinement by senior leadership.
• Engage with executive-level stakeholders, asking incisive questions to clarify goals, risks, and success metrics.
• Identify areas of misalignment across client functions, proactively flag issues, and either (a) convene the right stakeholders to work through them or (b) raise to consulting/client leadership for resolution.
• Build strong, trust-based relationships with client teams; act as a people-savvy connector across functions.
• Translate vision into a clear path forward: define timelines, priorities, dependencies, and resource needs.
• Draft and deliver high-quality communications (presentations, reports, trackers) to internal and client-facing audiences.

You will need to have:

• 6-8+ years of experience in the biopharma or life sciences industry; previous work in launch readiness is highly preferred.
• Prior experience supporting launch strategy/planning for large pharmaceutical clients
• Strong business analysis skills — ability to break complex problems into manageable parts, use data, and derive insight.
• Excellent stakeholder management; comfort engaging with executive-level clients and facilitating alignment.
• People-savvy communicator able to identify and navigate interpersonal or cross-functional misalignment effectively.
• Comfort with ambiguity; ability to quickly understand strategic vision and propose a structured path forward.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to craft clear, compelling messages.
• Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint; familiarity with project tracking tools a plus.
• Demonstrated initiative, curiosity, and willingness to stretch beyond comfort zones, consistent with Beghou’s value of embracing the stretch.

Who we're looking for:

• You take ownership of outcomes and deliver work you’re proud of.
• You thrive in collaborative settings and enjoy helping both clients and colleagues succeed.
• You can read between the lines — spotting misalignment or tension before it becomes an issue.
• You balance analysis with empathy, adapting your approach to fit the situation and people involved.

$140,000 - $180,000 a year
