Life Sciences.
Pharma, biotech, medical devices, diagnostics, CROs, and clinical research. Senior recruiters who understand both the regulatory rigor and the scientific operating model.
Life sciences leadership requires regulatory and scientific fluency.
Senior life-sciences leaders operate inside FDA, EMA, ISO, and HIPAA-adjacent regulatory frameworks, and the candidate pool reflects that. A great VP of Clinical Operations at a CRO is a different person than a great VP of Manufacturing at a CDMO. Generalist tech recruiters miss this, life-sciences headhunters don't.
The recruiter assigned to your search has spent more than a decade placing leadership across pharma, biotech, medical devices, and diagnostics. The deposit funds the targeted, credible outreach the search requires.
We work pharma operators (small molecule, biologics, ATMPs), biotech (preclinical through commercial), medical devices (Class II/III), in-vitro diagnostics, contract research organizations (CROs and CDMOs), and clinical-research-adjacent operators.

The questions hiring operators send in the first call.
Three paths from here.
You're hiring against a specific clinical or commercial milestone.
Engaged search fits, the candidate pool is small, mostly passive, and stage-specific. We map the pool against your milestone calendar in five days. Start the scoping call →
You're benchmarking comp against the candidate's current biotech equity.
Send us the candidate's stage, equity grant size, and target role. We come back with a peer-comp read pulled from comparable cap-table moments. Email the read request →
You're scoping a confidential CSO or CMO transition.
Most senior R&D and clinical-leadership transitions are sole-incumbent and structurally confidential. An exclusive engaged search with code-name discipline is the right model. Read engaged search →
Tell us the modality, the stage, the role.
We come back inside one business day with a scoping call, a fee quote, and a market read on candidate availability.
