About The Role You Are Considering
Life Sciences organisations are undergoing major change, facing new external challenges, new technology trends, internal cost pressures, and the industries in the UK face an uncertain future. Leveraging Capgemini’s strong network of clients, talent and assets, we are ideally positioned to help our clients re‑invent their business models, deliver digital transformation and increase their competitiveness. With deep industry specialisation in Life Sciences, combined with end‑to‑end business understanding, technology skills, and a highly collaborative working style, you will shape our MALS market unit by driving new business and expanding existing business.
Capgemini is hiring in the UK MALS (Manufacturing, Automotive & Life Sciences) market unit for a Life Sciences leader. This role will be fundamental in driving forward the digital agenda for our clients and their customers and we are seeking to hire a proven leader to set a visionary direction, maximise the market opportunity, drive the development of the team and deliver for our clients.
Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.
If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre‑employment checks, including identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and an unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service).
Your Role And Responsibilities
You’ll help drive our strategy, shape our offers, develop our capability within the Life Science segment of the MALS market unit and lead sales and delivery work with new and existing clients.
* Business development – utilising a combination of the organisation’s broader pre‑existing relationships (ideally at either GSK or AstraZeneca) and your own network to drive our ambition to treble our revenues in the sector over the next 2 years.
* Defining the target strategy and composition of the team, recruiting consultants, and mentoring other members of the team to ensure their effective development.
* Engaging with existing and potential clients – developing relationships with senior members of the Life Sciences Sector.
* Drive consulting and technology offerings to new and existing clients, ensuring offerings are relevant and timely. This will require bringing together our full portfolio of offers from Capgemini Invent, Applications, Cloud Infrastructure, Business Services, Digital and Engineering.
* Be an authority and thought leader.
* Ensuring effective delivery and timely completion of projects in alignment with commercial goals.
* Externally in the market, bring the presence and gravitas to initiate, manage and maintain board/senior‑management relationships.
* Understand and scope out challenges and potential solutions and sell & deliver top‑tier consulting and technology‑enabled business transformation work.
Your Skills And Experience
You’ll bring deep Life Sciences sector expertise with experience across one or more parts of the pharma value chain.
To be successful you’ll bring strong personal skills and the ability to overcome internal barriers through the use of drive, determination and influencing skills. You’ll have a natural ability to work in mixed teams of colleagues and senior executives and possess outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.
You’ll enjoy building and managing a team, providing direction and helping others to develop. Demonstrate professionalism and flexibility – you’ll be able to adjust positively to situations that involve changing tasks and/or location, shifting priorities or ambiguity and thrive in this environment.
Combine the commitment to own and deliver outstanding work with the gravitas to engage effectively with C‑level / CXOs on a peer‑to‑peer basis.
You will also have experience of delivering end‑to‑end P&L – either for an account, or for a sector within previous organisations.
Security Requirements
To be successfully appointed to this role, you will need to undergo Baseline Personnel Security Standard checks. (BPSS).
There are no nationality or residency restrictions, although if you have resided outside of the UK within the last 3 years, further checks may be required.
There are other criteria and checks required for BPSS, and throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.
