Protected: Senior Consultant

Introduction

As a Senior Consultant, you have insight in state-of-the-art technologies and how to facilitate the commercialization process of these technologies. You are capable of, independently, managing large consortia taking into account different stakeholder perspectives. You are, just like us, dedicated to deliver high-quality products and make a difference. With your knowledge in life sciences and the subsidy landscape, you will make the connection with the many funding possibilities available. Aside from that, our Senior Consultants guide our younger colleagues and help them foster their consultancy skills and sector knowledge.

All comes down to your knowledge, creativity, and communication skills in order to serve our clients optimally and guarantee funding for their projects.

Tasks & Responsibilities

• A cup of coffee first of course
• Then you start the working day with a short energetic update with your small team of consultants.
• You continue preparing the framework for the consortium meeting later this week with a new colleague who just started. You give them your tips and tricks that you have learned over the years and provide insight into the inner workings of those meetings.
• You have a call with a potential client and aim to unlock the true potential of their exciting (bio)medical idea. Following the call, you define a strategic funding roadmap.
• You look into your network to see if there are other potential partnerships on the horizon.
• You sit down with one of your teammates to refine the questions that should guide his market intelligence report. In this way, you help the client make smart and substantiated choices to get their innovation to the market faster and better.
• You continue developing the impact section of an upcoming Horizon proposal and send it out for review. By posing the right questions you aim to solicit high-quality input from 10 partners.
• At the end of the day, you have delivered new insights and ideas to your clients to ensure innovations are implemented faster and better, and research teams and businesses thrive.
