Job Description
We are seeking experienced strategy consultants with deep expertise in commercial strategy within Life Sciences, particularly those with a traditional consulting background advising biopharma clients on growth, portfolio, go‑to‑market, and market access decisions.
This role is focused on strategic advisory work rather than operational commercial launch execution. Ideal candidates will bring strong hypothesis‑driven problem solving, executive communication skills, and experience leading enterprise‑level strategy engagements.

Lead large, complex commercial strategy engagements for Pharma clients
Advise senior executives on strategic topics including: Go‑to‑market strategy and commercial model design
Portfolio and growth strategy
Pricing, reimbursement, and market access strategy
Commercial due diligence and enterprise growth strategy
Drive strategic problem solving from issue identification through analysis, synthesis, and executive recommendation development
Translate complex analyses into clear, actionable insights for C‑suite stakeholders
Lead cross‑functional teams and independently manage high‑impact engagement workstreams
Serve as a trusted advisor to senior client leadership across biopharma organizations
Provide thought leadership on evolving commercial and market trends within Life Sciences
Business Development & Practice Growth
Originate and expand client relationships across Life Sciences accounts
Support growth of Kearney’s commercial strategy capabilities within the practice
Lead proposal development and contribute to senior‑level client pitches
Identify opportunities to expand strategic advisory relationships within existing and new clients
Contribute to the development of intellectual capital and differentiated market offerings
Mentor and develop junior consultants and engagement teams
Foster a collaborative, high‑performing team environment
Provide coaching and oversight across multiple engagements to ensure quality and impact
Help build and strengthen Kearney’s Commercial Strategy presence within Life Sciences
Who you are:

That’s why we look for collaborative, insightful, and inquisitive problem‑solvers who don’t accept the first thing in front of them and who are always unapologetically themselves.
We want to hear from you if you have:
MBA preferred and 10+ years of professional experience
Significant management consulting experience at the Principal level or equivalent
A traditional strategy consulting background with strong experience in commercial strategy engagements
Experience advising Life Sciences clients, particularly within one or more of the following areas: Clinical/scientific strategy
Pricing and market access strategy
Commercial growth strategy within biopharma
Demonstrated ability to lead strategic advisory engagements versus operational execution‑focused commercial launch support
Strong executive presence and ability to influence senior stakeholders
Experience managing proposal development, client pitches, and business development efforts
Proven ability to independently lead multiple complex workstreams and client relationships
Exceptional communication, analytical, and leadership skills
Willingness to travel as required

Generous retirement/pension savings contributions
