  • Clinical, Regulatory & Medical

  • Drug Safety & Commercial

Our team is backed by a world-class Learning & Development function and driven by leaders who’ve transformed six-figure billers into million-pound consultants. Now, we’re scaling our New York business — and you could be a key part of that story.

🎯 The Role: Principal Consultant — Life Sciences Staffing (New York)

This isn’t your average recruitment job. You’ll have full ownership of your desk, the autonomy to build your market, and the platform to turn ambition into reality. It’s a full 360, client-facing role where business development, relationship management, and expert delivery are all in your hands.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Establish and grow a Life Sciences niche — your market, your strategy.

  • Build new client partnerships while deepening relationships with existing ones.

  • Source, engage, and manage Life Sciences professionals using cutting-edge tools and sector-specific platforms.

  • Lead recruitment processes end-to-end — from client brief to offer management.

  • Partner closely with candidates and clients, offering market insight and trusted advice.

  • Help shape the future of BioTalent New York alongside an ambitious, collaborative team.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Proven 360 recruitment experience with a track record of consistent, high billings.

  • Strong business development skills and the confidence to build a client base from scratch.

  • A sharp interest in Life Sciences — or the hunger to learn a specialist market inside out.

  • Relationship-led, driven, resilient, and motivated by performance.

  • An entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to be part of something growing, fast.

💥 Why BioTalent New York?

  • Uncapped commission up to 40%, with quarterly bonuses, regular incentives, and president trips

  • Dedicated leadership and career development programs tailored to your ambitions.

  • Flexible working environment with a focus on autonomy, accountability, and well-being.

  • 4.5-day working week — because life’s about balance.

  • Enhanced leave including birthday, charity, wellness, and loyalty days.

  • Private healthcare, gym discounts, and a packed social calendar from rooftop happy hours to global trips.

  • Be part of a business where people double their billings, lead teams, and move into director roles within years, not decades.

🌟 This is your chance to lead, build, and thrive in New York’s Life Sciences market.
