Head of Intelligence – Life Science Insights & Events Agency – London / hybrid WFH

The Company

My client was historically a pharma events business, running and attending various conferences worldwide focusing on biopharmaceuticals. Their specialism is drug development and early-stage scientific projects.

 More recently they have set up a hybrid market research / consulting arm of the business. They partner with CRO’s and biopharma businesses to provide in depth drug development information from scientists and other conference attendees.
