Senior Healthcare Advisor – Advisory Consulting Team (Freelance/Contract)

📍 Remote (Europe-based preferred) | 🕒 Contract/Project-Based


Our Client is seeking a Senior Healthcare Advisor to support their Advisory & Consulting Team on high-level strategic projects across major global markets. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of management consulting and commercial healthcare strategy, contributing to projects that bring together expertise across three core business units: Advisory, Consulting, and Research.


🔍 About the Role

You’ll be supporting a senior Partner on a diverse range of complex commercial questions – from go-to-market strategy and launch sequencing to barrier identification and organisational delivery. The team works across pharma, biotech, and medtech and doesn’t limit itself to payer strategy or market access alone – this is broad, senior-level consulting with real-world application.

You’ll play a central role in:

  • Structuring and solving multi-dimensional commercial challenges
  • Advising clients on organisational hurdles and market dynamics
  • Integrating solutions across business functions (R&D, commercial, access, marketing)
  • Supporting proposal development and client delivery across several strategic workstreams


🧠 What We’re Looking For

This is not a junior role – we’re seeking a strategically minded, emotionally intelligent advisor who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves and stepping into the big-picture.

Key qualities and experience include:

  • Problem solver mindset – able to deconstruct complex issues and sequence solutions logically
  • Intellectual curiosity – a desire to understand how all elements of a challenge fit together
  • Strong project management – able to lead or co-lead high-pressure projects to successful delivery
  • Change management expertise – understanding how organisations evolve and deliver solutions
  • Experience with launch sequencing, go-to-market planning, or commercial strategy
  • Organisational delivery know-how – someone who can help clients navigate internal hurdles and execute change
  • Travel to Office in London once a week is required
  • 6 Month contract (Potential to extend)
  • 0.8 FTE Minimum


Preferred Background

  • 5–10+ years in healthcare/life sciences consulting, strategic marketing, or advisory roles
  • Strong understanding of the pharmaceutical or medtech commercial environment
  • Experience in go-to-market, brand strategy, or product launch
  • Background in management consulting (e.g. from firms like GFK, ZS, IQVIA, Deloitte, PwC, or internal consulting teams within pharma/biotech)
  • Bonus: experience working across multiple functions or regions


Sound like a fit?

If you're a senior healthcare advisor or commercial strategist with a passion for solving meaningful problems and integrating cross-functional solutions, we’d love to hear from you.
