Director, Health & Life Sciences Research/Communities - Remote

About Us
Our C Space Health communities team is on a mission to humanize healthcare from the outside-in; bringing the voice of the customer (patient, provider, caregiver) to confidently guide healthcare companies to deliver improved experiences, better health outcomes, and commercial success. We partner with the world’s leading healthcare brands, including many of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies, to deliver insights, outcomes, and success.

C Space pioneered online market research communities, and our community-based approach is what sets us apart. Rather than one-off projects, we build long-term partnerships with clients and engaged communities of physicians, patients, caregivers, and other healthcare stakeholders - often lasting years or even decades. By working closely within focused therapeutic areas, our teams develop deep category expertise and trusted client relationships that go beyond surface-level feedback to deliver richer, more contextual insights.

The result is a more strategic, consultative approach to market research, grounded in real-world behaviors, decisions, and experiences over time.

The Salary Range for this position is $125,000 - $140,000. If this is not the right level for you, please check out our other postings. This is a virtual role; however, we have an office in Boston, should you want to work in-person and/or hybrid.

Who You Are
You are an insatiably curious leader who believes in making healthcare more human. You believe that companies should innovate from the outside-in; that the customer, patient, physician, and caregiver perspectives should guide healthcare companies, not the other way around. You like to think strategically, work creatively yet efficiently, and drive business profitability and expansion. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, you’re a team player – you know that you’re only as good as the team you lead, and you love bringing out the best in those around you.
