  • Guiding lifecycle planning by prioritizing indications, shaping evidence generation and HTA pathways, and supporting launch readiness
  • Translating complex client challenges into measurable, scoped solutions that leverage OPEN Health’s full capabilities
  • Ensuring all proposals and pursuits are anchored in clear client objectives and tied to defined success metrics and KPIs
  • Collaborating with Medical Strategy, Business Development, Growth Operations, and delivery leads to co-create and execute integrated client solutions
  • Orchestrating cross-functional internal teams to deliver efficiently, maintain momentum, and build lasting client confidence
  • Monitoring client health through pipeline metrics, win/loss analysis, and strategic feedback loops to inform ongoing engagement strategies
  • Championing internal alignment, cultural cohesion, and shared accountability across OPEN Health teams to ensure consistently high-quality client delivery

 

Experience, Skills, and Qualifications

  • Advanced degree (PhD, MSc, MBA, or equivalent) in a relevant scientific, medical, commercial, or healthcare-related field
  • Minimum 12 years of experience in senior client leadership roles within life sciences professional services (e.g., medical communications, market access, consulting)
  • Proven track record of growing complex, multi-million-dollar accounts with global or enterprise clients in pharma/biotech
  • Demonstrated experience managing relationships with procurement and legal teams to secure MSAs and long-term commercial agreements
  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to connect client needs to strategic growth opportunities
  • Executive presence and the ability to build credibility and trust with senior client stakeholders
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and deliver integrated solutions across multiple service lines
  • Experience using CRM platforms, analytics, and AI tools to drive insight-led client engagement
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills
