causaly - Life Sciences Strategy Director

• Significant experience in life sciences consulting, strategy consulting, commercial strategy, value advisory, solution consulting, or a related strategic customer-facing role. • Strong understanding of how large pharma and biotech organisations evaluate enterprise solutions, including stakeholder mapping, budget approval, executive sponsorship, and business case development. • Ability to translate complex scientific workflows into clear business implications for senior leaders. • Credibility with scientific users and confidence in executive-level conversations with senior life sciences stakeholders. • Experience building structured narratives, value propositions, operating models, business cases, or transformation recommendations for sophisticated customers. • Strong coaching capability, with the ability to help others improve discovery, storytelling, problem framing, and stakeholder influence. • Comfortable operating hands-on in high-priority customer situations while also building scalable processes, standards, and team capability. • Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to pressure-test assumptions, simplify complexity, and create materials that influence decision-making. • Ideal background • This role may be a strong fit for someone who has worked in life sciences consulting, strategy consulting, professional services, value advisory, solution consulting, or strategic customer advisory roles. We are particularly interested in candidates who have helped senior life sciences stakeholders make decisions about complex scientific, digital, data, or AI-enabled solutions. • Experience in sales or pre-sales can be valuable, but the role is not designed as a traditional sales leadership position. The strongest candidates will bring a consulting mindset: structured problem-solving, executive communication, commercial judgement, and the ability to connect scientific detail to organisational value. • Reporting and structure • The Life Science Strategy Director reports to the SVP of Sales and Partnerships. The role works closely with Strategic Client Partners, who own the commercial relationship, and partners across Causaly to ensure customers receive the right scientific, strategic, and technical expertise during complex evaluations. • The Life Science Strategy Director directly leads the pre-sales support model across SSCs and strategic value advisory capability. The role does not manage Sales; it partners with Sales to strengthen the quality of strategic customer engagement.
