Duties:

Key executive management position providing leadership for consulting services business. Responsible for the strategic vision of the consulting services business with a focus on its revenue growth and efficient operations. Propel practices forward by ensuring that engagements are well managed, business development is robust and best practices are being developed. Drives cohesiveness of Strategic Consulting Services practice and Reporting and Analysis Services practice and partners with other departments to achieve business success. Essential Job Functions: Oversees scientific Vice Presidents and key clients to facilitate development of current and future business opportunities. Advises and directs practice development activities to ensure people are engaged internally in coaching and mentoring opportunities as well as public-facing activities. Ensures that engagement management, budgeting, risk and project economics are supporting overall business unit strategies. Participates effectively with scientific Vice Presidents in the identification and development of new practice areas.

Identifies and disseminates company-wide “best practices” and standards within the Consulting business units. Fosters and maintains engagement activities and programs to support an employer of choice environment in the scientific community. Business unit P&L responsibility. Some candidates may know one specific therapeutic area very well ( cancer, diabetes, etc.) and advise pharma/biotech companies on that area. However, they may be too focused for us since our scientific consulting services cover many areas - generalists are better here. Also, the above may lack some clinical development experience, but has more experience on the commercialization side. A balance of both is preferable Strength in operations is fine, and adds to the profile, however the focus is on driving growth of the practice - demonstration in managing a group of scientists/services and pushing through the marketplace is more valuable (we have a VP of operations for this group already) commitment/interest in modeling and simulation, especially those with CROs. Some may view this role as a step down, sideways or up, depending on the size of their organization and their orientation. Also, their market focus could be very wide, while ours is narrower. While were trying to sell our services to the head of pharmacology at a drug maker, it would be great to have someone the level up (VP of Clinical Development) as a candidate, who would have a unique perspective of the marketplace for services.
