🚀 Fractional Leadership Consultant | Life Sciences
London | Hybrid | Executive Search, Advisory & Fractional Leadership
If you're a recruiter who enjoys building relationships with founders, investors, and senior leadership teams — and you're looking to move beyond traditional contingent recruitment — this could be one of the most interesting opportunities in the market right now.
We're partnered with a key client, a global life sciences talent business, to hire a lead into their rapidly growing Fractional Leadership & Advisory Practice.
This isn't a typical recruitment desk.
You'll be working with:
- VC-backed Biotech companies
- Founders, CEOs & Board members
- Fractional C-Suite leaders
- Investors, Venture Capital & Family Offices
- Advisory Boards & Interim Executives
Rather than reacting to live vacancies, you'll build long-term strategic partnerships with high-growth life sciences businesses, helping them access the leadership, expertise, and advisory support they need to scale.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
