If this is you, a coach can help
- Your program was cut or your site closed after a merger, and you're job hunting alongside everyone else from the reorg.
- You've been doing the work of a clinical trial manager or regulatory lead for a while, and the title keeps slipping to the next review cycle.
- You want to cross functions, from R&D into medical affairs, quality into regulatory, or the lab into commercial, and your resume only makes sense to your current department.
- You're weighing a move from big pharma to a startup biotech, or the reverse, and want to understand the tradeoffs in scope, pace, and job security before you sign.

Questions
Life sciences career coaching FAQ
Do your coaches understand biotech and pharma?
We match you on function, level, and goal with a coach who knows how life sciences hires and promotes. Our bench includes former recruiters and talent acquisition leaders who have hired and recruited across healthcare, finance, and technology, along with coaches who come from research and engineering.
I was laid off after a merger. Where do I start?
Start with your story: why the role ended, what you delivered, and what you want next, in a few sentences you can say with confidence. Your coach helps you build that, rank your target companies and contacts, and reach out while former colleagues are landing elsewhere and can refer you.
Is moving from big pharma to a startup a good idea?
It depends on what you want from the next few years. Startups tend to offer broader scope and faster decisions along with funding risk, while large companies offer structure, depth, and defined ladders. Your coach helps you weigh those against your goals and talk to people who have made the move.
What if my coach isn't the right fit?
