02Specialties
We do not treat life sciences as a single keyword. The science, the regulated path, and the commercial motion change the profile. The index below is how we keep that straight.
01/biotech
Discovery through development in emerging and established biotech. We look for people who have actually moved a program, not just sat near one.
Typical seats: Research leadership, program management, CMC, translational, and company-building roles around a living pipeline.
02/pharma
Complex organizations, matrixed decisions, and seats that have to land inside an existing machine without losing scientific judgment.
Typical seats: Development, medical, manufacturing, and commercial roles where scale and scrutiny are part of the job.
03/medtech
Hardware, software, and the messy middle where a device has to work in a real clinical workflow.
Typical seats: Product, quality, regulatory, clinical, and commercial leaders who have shipped into hospitals, clinics, or the field.
04/diagnostics
Assay, instrument, and evidence problems. The hire has to understand both the science of the test and how it gets used.
Typical seats: R&D, medical affairs, market access, and commercial roles tied to a diagnostic’s path into practice.
05/clinical
Trials, sites, safety, and operations. We search for people who have kept a study honest when timelines got loud.
Typical seats: Clinical operations, development, monitoring leadership, and medical roles across sponsor and adjacent settings.
06/rd
The bench, the platform, and the scientific bet. Titles vary; the work is producing evidence someone else can trust.
Typical seats: Discovery, platform, translational, and scientific leadership roles with a clear experimental or technical core.
07/commercial
Launch, access, and the field. We look for operators who can sell a scientific story without flattening it.
Typical seats: Sales leadership, marketing, market access, and general management tied to a product that has to earn its place.
Next step
Translational, medical affairs, market access, and diagnostics product often live on a seam. That is usually where a generic search fails.
