  • Ideally gained within life sciences, healthcare, clinical research or digital health.
  • Strong research and prospecting skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication.
  • Highly organised with great attention to detail.
  • Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and developing professional relationships.
