Senior Strategy & Innovation Consultant

Tired of cookie cutter engagements? We believe that strategy consulting can - and should - be more than just rinsing and repeating.

We’re looking for a creative Senior Innovation & Strategy Consultant to join us. From day one, you’ll own your own projects and client relationships. This role is ideal for someone who’s keen to build their career within life sciences consulting and master genuinely novel design-led approaches.

There are plenty of Consulting companies out there. But at Impatient, we are looking only for the sharpest minds. Are you a strategic thinker with a deep curiosity in tomorrow’s biggest healthcare challenges? Are you a problem-solver that doesn’t quite fit into the ‘conventional’ box? Are you excited to be part of a global team and contribute your knowledge and experience by working with life sciences clients? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

why we exist.

Let's be honest - the pharma industry is generally very traditional and doesn’t have a great reputation.

Yet the work it does is life-or-death important, and health is a very emotive industry. It could be so much better - and we want to help it get there.

Impatient Health is a catalyst for change within pharma. We connect those who believe that pharma has great untapped potential and are desperate to do things differently - and help them through events, research and strategy consulting.

Despite being young as a company (5 years), we have some incredible assets – (i) running one of Pharma’s most disruptive events. We bring the industry’s rebels together to shape the future of healthcare, (ii) having an ‘independent’ positioning, and (iii) having a well-known thought leader at our helm.

This gives us a unique platform from which to challenge others and inspire them to do better for patients.
