Associate Principal / Principal

I’m working with a leading, high-growth consulting firm in the life sciences space, currently expanding their Munich office. This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior, delivery-focused leadership role without the pressure of business development.

The Role 100% delivery-focused across market access and commercial strategy (no BD responsibilities) Lead high-impact projects and manage senior client relationships Oversee and develop project teams while driving delivery excellence Work across pharma, biotech, medtech, and medical devices Opportunity to broaden your scope beyond pure market access into wider commercial strategy

What Makes This Different One of the most senior delivery roles in the consulting team Lead teams without needing to sell work – rare at this level High exposure to senior leadership (many with 20+ years’ experience) Strong platform to influence projects, clients, and internal growth

Progression Clear path to VP level Fast-track progression environment (top performers reaching VP/Partner in under 10 years) Growing European team with significant investment in Munich

Training & Development Hands-on, in-person development with senior leaders Structured career pathways + external training budget Standards aligned with top-tier consulting firms

Culture & Environment High-performance, feedback-driven culture focused on growth Strong visibility: conferences, thought leadership, client exposure Collaborative team with an active social environment Realistic expectation of ~50 hours/week (in line with consulting norms)

Your Background 6–10 years’ experience in market access and/or commercial strategy Consulting experience within life sciences Proven ability to lead projects and manage stakeholders
