Client Partner — Life Sciences (West Coast)

Client Partner — Life Sciences (West Coast)

About the Opportunity

Our client, a global supply chain consulting and digital transformation firm, is seeking a Client Partner to lead and grow their Life Sciences portfolio across the West Coast. This is a senior, revenue-owning role with full P&L accountability for a strategic book of business spanning pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device clients. The successful candidate will sit at the intersection of industry expertise, consultative selling, and delivery oversight — driving multi-year transformation programs across supply chain, SAP, planning platforms (Blue Yonder, Kinaxis, o9), and emerging AI/analytics capabilities.

The firm operates globally with deep delivery scale, partners with the largest enterprise platforms in supply chain, and serves a marquee client base across Life Sciences, CPG, Industrial, and Retail. This role offers the platform, the brand, and the comp structure of a major firm with the agility and ownership of a focused industry practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end commercial relationship and P&L for a portfolio of Life Sciences accounts on the West Coast (pharma, biotech, medical device, CRO).
• Drive new logo acquisition alongside expansion within the installed base — net-new revenue, wallet-share growth, and multi-year account roadmaps.
• Build and deepen CXO and senior business stakeholder relationships across supply chain, IT, commercial operations, and digital transformation buying centers.
• Partner with delivery, solutioning, and practice leadership to shape proposals, structure deals, and ensure successful execution of large, multi-million-dollar programs.
• Develop and execute account plans, white-space analysis, and pursuit strategies aligned to Life Sciences industry priorities (clinical supply, serialization, track-and-trace, demand and supply planning, S&OP, GenAI for commercial ops).
• Forecast accurately, manage pipeline rigorously, and represent the firm at industry events and client briefings.
• Collaborate with global delivery teams, alliance partners, and industry advisors to bring the full capability of the firm to each account.

Qualifications

• 12 years of progressive experience in IT services, consulting, or digital transformation, with a substantial portion in Life Sciences sales or account leadership.
• Demonstrated track record of carrying and exceeding multi-million-dollar quotas, owning P&L, and growing strategic accounts year over year.
• Deep relationships within the West Coast Life Sciences ecosystem (SF Bay Area, Southern California, San Diego, Pacific Northwest).
• Working fluency in supply chain, SAP, and/or planning platform conversations (Blue Yonder, Kinaxis, o9, Manhattan, IBP) — you don't need to be a solution architect, but you need to sell the conversation credibly.
• Experience navigating large global services firms (Accenture, Deloitte, Capgemini, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, HCL, IBM, NTT DATA, EPAM, LTIMindtree, or similar) or boutique LS-focused consultancies.
• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
• Strong executive presence, consultative selling instincts, and the ability to operate with autonomy in a matrixed environment.

Compensation

Highly competitive base salary commensurate with West Coast Life Sciences premium, plus aggressive variable tied to bookings, revenue, and margin. Full benefits, equity-equivalent long-term incentive, and executive-level perks. Total target compensation reflects the seniority and revenue scope of the role.

Location

West Coast of the United States — California, Oregon, or Washington. Hybrid/remote with travel to client sites and key markets (SF Bay Area, San Diego, Los Angeles, Seattle).
