Serving clients in the biopharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostic spaces, we provide world-class strategic decision-making support across a diverse range of business issues. Our goal is to inform actionable recommendations that allow companies to achieve their business objectives.
Position Overview
The Senior Manager/Director, Expert Research Solutions (ERS) will lead and expand ClearView’s primary research capability — designing and executing an optimized network of payers, key opinion leaders (KOLs), and industry subject matter experts to support high‑impact client work. This role combines strategic foresight, team management, P&L responsibility, and relationship‑driven curation to ensure our consultants can access the precise expertise needed for each engagement.
The ideal candidate is both a strong operational leader, connector and brings a strategic lens, able to discern emerging needs across project types (e.g., challenging to recruit, highly specialized, or high‑volume studies) and proactively source the right partnerships.
Key Responsibilities
- Strategic Leadership: Define and execute the ERS vision and roadmap to align with the firm’s primary research and broader consulting priorities.
- Prioritization and Value Creation: Identify where ERS resources create the highest client value — balancing hard‑to‑recruit segments, specialized expertise, and project scalability
- Network Curation & Management: Build and maintain a best‑in‑class network of experts spanning payers, KOLs, industry leaders, and niche specialists across therapeutic areas and functional domains. Ensure ongoing engagement and quality collaboration.
- Team Development: Lead, coach, and grow a small but high‑performing team of researchers and relationship managers, instilling best practices in expert sourcing, vetting, and compliance.
- Operational Excellence: Oversee P&L, platform partnerships, data management, and network sourcing workflows to ensure efficiency and quality.
- Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with project leaders to anticipate upcoming needs and shape expert engagement strategies that enhance project outcomes.
- Market Insight: Track emerging influences and thought leaders across healthcare, life sciences, and market access ecosystems to inform network expansion.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience in expert network management, consulting research operations, or other relationship‑driven sourcing roles (life sciences or healthcare background preferred).
- Background in a recruiting or executive search agency is highly transferable, especially experience curating specialized talent pipelines or expert networks.
- Proven success building curated networks or strategic partnerships that deliver measurable impact.
- Exceptional interpersonal and negotiation skills; strong brand ambassador presence when interacting with external experts.
- Experience balancing high‑volume research needs and specialized project sourcing.
- Demonstrated ability to manage budgets, prioritize investments, and lead small, agile teams.
- Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree preferred (MBA, MPH, or related discipline).
The first-year base salary for this position is $165,000 - $215,000
