We’re partnering exclusively with a high-performing life sciences consultancy to appoint a senior Market Access professional to co-lead their Market Access practice. The successful candidate will work closely with their VP of Market Access, focusing on further developing this growing capability. The firm also operates across Strategy, Market Research, and Competitive Intelligence.

The Opportunity

This is a senior leadership role with strategic oversight of 10–15 global Market Access projects at any one time. These typically span pricing and reimbursement strategy, HTA submissions, and HEOR deliverables.

• Provide strategic input across a diverse portfolio of access-related engagements
• Oversee project delivery standards and ensure client expectations are met
• Play a central role in responding to RFPs, pitches, and proposals
• Nurture and grow client relationships while contributing to account development
• Support the long-term growth of the Market Access practice

About You

• 7+ years of experience within the Market Access consulting space
• Deep expertise across market access strategy, pricing & reimbursement, and HEOR
• Strong track record in client-facing delivery and account management
• Comfortable handling multiple complex, global engagements concurrently
• Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and grow high-performing teams

Education

A PhD in a relevant life sciences discipline is preferred. However, strong candidates with a Master’s degree in an appropriate subject from a leading academic institution and relevant consulting experience will most certainly be considered.

If you're a seasoned Market Access professional looking to step into a strategic leadership role with plenty of impact and visibility, we’d love to hear from you.
