About the Role

Job Description

As a Principal within Kearney’s Healthcare & Life Sciences Practice, you will play a key role in driving the growth and development of our Pharma R&D Strategy offering. You will work closely with senior clients and internal teams to develop strategic insights and deliver high-impact outcomes across complex pharmaceutical R&D and clinical development challenges.

We are seeking experienced strategy consultants with deep expertise across Pharma R&D, particularly those with a traditional consulting background advising biopharma clients on clinical development, drug development strategy, operating models, and R&D transformation initiatives.

This role is focused on strategic advisory work rather than operational program execution. Ideal candidates will bring strong hypothesis-driven problem solving, executive communication skills, and experience leading enterprise-level strategy engagements within pharmaceutical R&D organizations.
