Senior Talent Acquisition Consultant – Life Sciences
Remote | US-Based | East Coast Preferred
6-Month Contract | 40 Hours Per Week | Competitive Hourly Rate + Potential Performance Incentives
An Opportunity to Join One of SciPro's Most Strategic Growth Projects
SciPro is looking for an experienced Senior Talent Acquisition Consultant to join one of our most established and strategically important life sciences projects.
This isn't a business development role, and you won't be expected to spend your time creating opportunities or building a desk from scratch.
The opportunity is already there.
You'll join an established project supporting a rapidly growing commercial-stage life sciences organisation with significant ongoing hiring demand. You'll have multiple live searches, access to challenging assignments and the opportunity to focus on what great recruiters do best: identifying, engaging and assessing exceptional talent.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
You'll be working on a live, growing project with real momentum and direct visibility into the client's hiring plans.
The searches aren't straightforward CV-matching exercises.
The people we're looking for often come from high-growth, ambiguous and commercially demanding environments. The strongest candidate may not have an identical background on paper.
Your ability to understand someone's career story, identify transferable skills and assess their potential will be just as important as your sourcing capability.
You'll have genuine ownership over the candidate side of the recruitment process, from initial market mapping and first engagement through to interview, offer and completion.
And you'll be doing it alongside a high-performing SciPro team, with the opportunity to work closely with one of the business's most successful commercial leaders.
The Role
As a Senior Talent Acquisition Consultant, you will take ownership of the candidate side of the recruitment process across multiple commercial life sciences searches.
You'll operate as a trusted talent partner, responsible for identifying and engaging some of the strongest candidates in the market.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Running sophisticated headhunting campaigns.
- Building talent maps and identifying target organisations.
- Conducting advanced Boolean and LinkedIn searches.
- Identifying and engaging passive candidates.
- Researching high-growth companies and competitor talent pools.
- Managing multiple live searches simultaneously.
- Conducting high-quality 30–45 minute video screening and assessment calls.
- Pressure-testing candidates against defined competency scorecards.
- Assessing transferable skills and potential, not simply matching CVs.
- Building compelling candidate narratives.
- Preparing and coaching candidates through interview processes.
- Managing feedback and candidate debriefs.
- Supporting negotiations through to offer stage.
High Volume. High Standards. Real Impact.
This is a fast-paced environment and we're looking for someone who enjoys working with urgency.
You can expect:
- Multiple live searches at any one time.
- Significant candidate engagement.
- Approximately 20 screening conversations per week.
- High levels of sourcing and market-mapping activity.
- Regular candidate submissions and measurable project output.
You will be working on a live, growing project where the quality of your work will have a direct impact on the client's ability to scale successfully.
Work Directly With an Exceptional Commercial Leader
A major part of this opportunity is the chance to work directly with Cat, one of SciPro's most successful commercial leaders.
Cat has been with the organisation for over eight years and has built an exceptional track record, including:
- Becoming the first $1m biller in the business.
- Leading the permanent recruitment brand.
- Managing teams of up to 20 people.
- Building and scaling high-performing recruitment teams.
Despite her leadership position, Cat remains highly hands-on.
For the right recruiter, this offers a rare opportunity to work closely with someone who has genuinely operated at the highest level of recruitment and commercial leadership.
This isn't a distant manager checking KPIs once a week.
You'll be working alongside someone with high standards, strong market knowledge and a genuine understanding of what exceptional recruitment looks like.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for an experienced recruitment or Talent Acquisition professional with approximately five or more years of experience.
You could currently be working as a:
- Talent Acquisition Partner.
- Corporate Recruiter.
- Life Sciences Recruiter.
- Technical Recruiter.
- Talent Consultant.
- Senior Delivery Consultant.
- Senior Sourcer.
- Agency Recruiter.
- Internal Recruiter.
Your title is less important than your capability.
We're particularly interested in people who genuinely enjoy the craft of recruitment and have a proven ability to find difficult-to-reach talent.
You should ideally bring:
- Experience recruiting within life sciences or a closely related sector.
- Strong hands-on sourcing and headhunting capability.
- Advanced Boolean and LinkedIn search skills.
- Experience engaging passive candidates.
- Strong candidate interviewing and assessment skills.
- The ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management.
- A proactive and highly accountable working style.
- Experience operating successfully in fast-paced or high-growth environments.
The Future Potential
The initial contract is for six months.
However, this role has been created because of the continued growth of a strategically important client relationship.
The client has recently launched its first drug and is continuing to scale its commercial organisation. There is also potential for future expansion as the organisation grows and develops further products.
For the right person, there is the opportunity to become part of something much bigger than a short-term recruitment project.
While nothing is guaranteed beyond the initial contract, SciPro is building long-term partnerships with its clients and is always looking to retain exceptional talent within the business.
Strong performance could open the door to:
- Extension of the existing project.
- Further work across the client account.
- Future projects as the relationship develops.
- Potential longer-term opportunities with SciPro.
The Details
- Initial 6-month contract.
- 40 hours per week.
- Fully remote.
- US-based candidates preferred.
- East Coast time zone ideal.
- Competitive compensation based on experience.
Why Join?
If you're someone who loves recruitment but wants to spend more time doing what you're genuinely good at - finding exceptional talent, running sophisticated searches and building meaningful candidate relationships, this is an opportunity to do exactly that.
You'll join a project that already has momentum.
You'll work on genuinely challenging searches.
You'll have access to significant hiring volume.
You'll work alongside high-performing recruiters and commercial leaders.
And you'll have the opportunity to play a meaningful role in helping a rapidly growing life sciences organisation build the team that will define its next stage of success.
If you're an experienced recruiter who thrives on difficult searches, enjoys genuine headhunting and wants to be part of something with real momentum, we'd love to speak with you.
