Global Life Sciences Consulting Firm · US & Canada
Commercial Life Sciences Partner
A global life sciences consulting firm needed to appoint a Commercial Partner capable of driving significant revenue generation while supporting the continued expansion of its North American practice. The right candidate was exploring opportunities that offered greater autonomy, stronger earning potential through personal business generation, and the chance to operate across both the US and Canada rather than a single regional market.
Outcome: The search centred on understanding what would actually motivate an established Partner to move, aligning commercial aspirations, leadership expectations and long-term growth plans on both sides. A Commercial Partner was appointed whose ambitions closely matched the firm's strategy, strengthening leadership capability across North America while giving the candidate greater autonomy, broader market exposure and stronger revenue potential.
Global Pricing & Market Access Consultancy · US, Canada, Mexico & Southeast Asia
Senior Director, Pricing & Market Access
A global pricing and market access consultancy needed a senior leader able to deliver pricing, market access and launch strategy work across multiple international markets. The right candidate wanted to broaden their expertise from commercial strategy into pricing and market access leadership, while joining a business offering real scope to build teams and shape future growth.
Outcome: An international search across senior pricing and market access professionals, focused on people with experience spanning diverse healthcare systems and global client work, and weighted toward leadership potential alongside technical depth. A Senior Director was appointed who strengthened the firm's international capability while gaining a broader global remit and greater leadership responsibility.
Specialist Market Access Consultancy · London & Europe
Senior Director, Business Development: Rare Diseases & Orphan Drugs
A specialist market access consultancy was looking for a commercially driven Senior Director to expand its rare diseases and orphan drugs practice across London and Europe. The right candidate wanted to commit their career fully to rare diseases, specialising further in an area they were already passionate about.
Outcome: Drawing on an established network within the rare disease community, the search identified commercially successful leaders combining genuine therapeutic area expertise with real business development strength, prioritising long-term strategic fit over a straight match on job titles. A Senior Director was appointed who strengthened the firm's growth strategy while moving into a role focused entirely on the specialism they wanted.
Global Market Access & Evidence Consultancy · Global
Director, Global Pricing & Market Access: Rare Diseases & Orphan Drugs
A global market access and evidence consultancy needed a Director with specialist expertise spanning pricing, market access and rare diseases, a combination held by an exceptionally small pool of professionals worldwide.
Outcome: A targeted executive search approach, engaging passive candidates through established relationships across pricing, HEOR and market access, prioritising quality over volume so every shortlisted candidate genuinely combined the technical and leadership bar required. The role was filled in a highly competitive, narrow market, demonstrating what a proactive search delivers where a reactive one would not.
Boutique Consultancy · UK Remote
Director, Value Communications
A fully remote boutique consultancy wanted a commercially focused Director to strengthen its value communications offering and contribute to future growth. The right candidate was looking for greater flexibility, better work-life balance, stronger earning potential and a genuinely collaborative leadership team.
Outcome: A search that weighted leadership style, flexibility and long-term career fit as heavily as technical expertise, aimed at candidates seeking real professional progression alongside sustainable working practices. A Director was appointed who strengthened the firm's commercial capability while significantly improving their own work-life balance and continuing to build their leadership career.
Global Intelligence & Data Solutions Provider · London
Principal, Competitive Intelligence & Business Development
After an extended search of its own, a global intelligence and data solutions provider had been unable to find a Principal combining advanced competitive intelligence expertise with a genuine business development track record. Very few professionals in the market hold both.
Outcome: Rather than matching the brief literally, the search was reviewed from a commercial angle, identifying a candidate whose broader business development experience delivered more long-term value than the original spec called for, without compromising CI depth. The Principal appointed went on to build and lead the firm's Competitive Intelligence team.
Boutique Value Communications Consultancy · UK Remote
Consultant
Four months into an unsuccessful search of its own, a boutique value communications consultancy needed specialist support to find a Consultant spanning value communications, HEOR and market access, without letting time-to-hire compromise quality.
Outcome: A specialist network already built across value communications, HEOR and market access made a fast, consultative process possible, with the relationship extending well beyond the single vacancy. The initial appointment was made successfully, and the client came back for ongoing support as the team grew, leading to five further Consultant placements.
Multi-Practice Global Consultancy · US & Europe
Partner, Life Sciences Practice
A global, multi-practice consultancy is seeking entrepreneurial Partner-level leaders for its life sciences practice, capable of building and sustaining significant client revenue rather than operating purely as senior technical delivery. The search calls for candidates who value long-term upside over a high fixed base, and who can bring an existing, portable client relationship base into the practice.
Outcome: A targeted search across senior life sciences consulting leadership in the US and Europe, screening specifically for commercially entrepreneurial Partners with a genuine track record of sourced revenue, weighted toward cultural and commercial fit for a tier where business generation defines success. An active, engaged shortlist is in place across multiple US and European hubs, reflecting VoltConsulting's continued work at
Partner level with global life sciences consulting firms.
