• Lead work streams and manage analysts/consultants to produce client-ready outputs
• Manage day-to-day client relationships, including working sessions, feedback, risks, and next steps
• Translate commercial strategy into operating model activation, process design, business requirements, change impacts, and adoption plans
• Identify and govern value unlock opportunities by linking transformation activities to measurable business outcomes, value cases, KPIs, and realization plans
• Apply life sciences commercial knowledge to connect workflow, governance, data, technology, compliance, and talent implications
• Partner with technology, analytics, AI, operations, and change teams to ensure solutions are practical and executable
• Manage dependencies, issues, risks, stakeholder alignment, and rollout readiness across complex transformation programs
• Manage delivery discipline across workplans, milestones, dependencies, RAID logs, stakeholder decisions, testing / UAT needs, rollout readiness, and adoption activities
• Support proactive commercial transformation opportunities and proposals by shaping the client problem, workplan, solution approach, delivery model, and value story
• Contribute to thought capital by developing reusable perspectives, frameworks, case examples, and market-facing points of view on commercial transformation, enablement, AI/data, and future ways of working

Growth Opportunities

You will continue to grow through:

• Leading commercial transformation work that turns strategy into executable change for major life sciences clients
