CF helps pharma, biotech and medtech companies change that by accelerating the adoption of innovation in health systems. We are looking for a Partner to win work and grow our Life Sciences practice, with a focus on global and EUCAN clients.\nThe Role\nYou will win and lead work with senior pharma, biotech and medtech clients, owning a portfolio of priority accounts and a personal revenue target. A central aim of the role is to open doors for CF with global and EUCAN teams, with a primary focus on our priority therapy areas: cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic disease (CVKM), neurodegenerative disease and oncology. We will still take on work in other therapy areas where we can add value. You will lead delivery of the work you win and, with the Managing Partner, build the practice and its team. As a member of our senior leadership team, you will recruit, mentor and develop the next generation of leaders in health.\nWe win work through relationships and insight. You will do well here if you enjoy meeting senior people, getting to the heart of their problem and shaping how CF can help.\nRequirements\nWhat you will bring\nA record of winning consulting or advisory work from senior pharma, biotech or medtech buyers, with evidence of revenue won and clients who came back for more.\nClose relationships with senior global and EUCAN leaders, such as general managers and heads of market access, medical and commercial, that you can use to make introductions.\nWell-formed views on launch, market access and reimbursement, and deep knowledge of how NICE, NHS England, MHRA, EMA and national HTA bodies shape adoption.\nEntrepreneurial drive and resilience: you create opportunities, are comfortable approaching senior people you have not met, and keep going after a loss.\nExperience leading complex engagements and multidisciplinary teams, in consulting, industry or both.\nA record of mentoring and growing consultants, and of thought leadership in writing and on stage.\nDesirable: a clinical, scientific or health economics background, and another European language.\nWhat you will sell\nLaunch and uptake excellence: accelerating uptake before, during and after launch through guidelines, pathways, delivery models, incentives, reimbursement and partnerships with health systems. Our data covers every medicine launched in the UK, so we can track past uptake and project the future path by indication and geography.\nIntegrated evidence review and generation: finding the gaps a value proposition must fill for patients, physicians, providers and payers, and generating real-world evidence in as little as four weeks from patient-level data.\nPolicy and government influence: shaping the conditions for innovation through regulators, HTA bodies, government and the media, using our own record-level data to publish new insight.\nAbout CF\nCF is a specialist health consultancy with offices in London, Dublin and Riyadh, rated gold for Healthcare and Life Sciences by the Financial Times. Our mission is to make lasting improvements in health and healthcare, and to develop leaders in health. We have advised the NHS, DHSC, NICE, MHRA and the ABPI, and supported two thirds of the top 20 life sciences companies. Our life sciences clients sell to the health systems we advise, so we see adoption from the inside.\nWorking at CF\nWe value being connected to clients and colleagues, so we work four days out of five in person, with clients on site or at our offices. On top of this, everyone has up to 44 extra remote working days a year, which works out at around three days a week in person. Holiday is 30 days, rising by one day for each year of service to 35. Our values are Be Connected, Uphold Standards, Inspire Change and Create the Future. We recruit, promote and reward on skills and contribution alone.\nBenefits\nWe offer a competitive and flexible reward package designed to support you at work and beyond it. You will benefit from a generous holiday allowance that grows with your career (minimum of 25 days), a strong employer pension contribution, and the freedom to tailor benefits to suit your lifestyle, from wellbeing and fitness to financial protection. \nWe are committed to supporting life’s important moments, with enhanced family leave, income and life protection, and access to practical benefits that make everyday life easier, such as interest-free loans and travel support. \nYour wellbeing matters to us. You will have access to a comprehensive wellbeing and employee assistance programme, preventative health benefits, and initiatives that support an active, balanced way of working. \nAbove all, we invest in our people; offering flexibility, security, and benefits that grow with you, so you can do your best work while building a sustainable and rewarding career.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4849,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T15:49:54Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-11T22:45:02Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-13T05:41:47Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T06:21:15+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":83,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.833,"p_room":1,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":61,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/consultancy-uk-partner-life-sciences","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/consultancy-uk-partner-life-sciences.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T17:09:45Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25981,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4416287},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4416287"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fconsultancy-uk-partner-life-sciences"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fconsultancy-uk-partner-life-sciences"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fconsultancy-uk-partner-life-sciences"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/consultancy-uk-partner-life-sciences\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fconsultancy-uk-partner-life-sciences"}]}
