The opportunity

Our consulting teams rely heavily on primary research, including interviews with scientists, clinicians, industry executives, commercial leaders, and other subject-matter experts. They also leverage our proprietary data sets, market reports, and expert network (run by Dexter, our SaaS subsidiary).

Thus, we are seeking a Research Specialist to help us consistently identify and engage the right experts for our primary research conversations. The Research Specialist will own much of the process for recruiting subject-matter experts for DeciBio’s consulting engagements and proprietary research. Working across multiple projects at once, you will translate research needs into clear expert profiles, identify relevant candidates, conduct persistent and professional outreach, assess candidates’ fit, and coordinate one-hour interviews between experts and our consulting teams:

  • Understanding each project’s research objectives, expert criteria, timing, and priorities to develop and continuously refine specific target profiles and search strategies, while regularly seeking feedback from the project teams.
  • Searching and leveraging DeciBio’s existing expert network, professional databases, company websites, publications, conference materials, LinkedIn, and other public sources to identify relevant candidates.
  • Conduct proactive outreach via email, phone, LinkedIn, or other appropriate channels -- while clearly and persuasively communicating the value proposition
  • Screening candidates for applicable experience, relevance, availability, communication skills, and suitability for a specific project.
  • Continuing to build and engage our network of contacts and support the development of Dexter’s network. Developing positive, long-term relationships with experts who may be relevant for future engagements.
  • Successfully coordinating interviews ensuring successful completion and follow-through (incl. Payment), communicating all details and reminders across time zones, quickly and professionally resolving logistical conflicts, meeting tight project deadlines, and ultimately ensuring interview quotas are timely filled with applicable interviewees.
  • Supporting project administrative aspects, as needed.
  • Identifying sourcing pools, and proactively building expert benches in strategically important life-sciences markets. Develop reusable and automated search strategies, outreach templates, screening questions, and operating procedures.
  • Maintain quality, compliance, and accurate records. Capture and leverage feedback.
  • Track and improve accountability for core KPIs. Overall success will reflect volume, efficiency, and quality/relevance. E.g., interview completion counts and rates, conversion velocity, quality and satisfaction, outreach responsiveness and conversion rates, accuracy, compliance, network growth and quality, etc.

This unique role provides an opportunity to engage with and support stakeholders across DeciBio’s departments.

The role combines research, recruiting, relationship-building, project coordination, and elements of sales. It is not a consulting analyst position, although it provides significant exposure to life-sciences markets, strategic questions, and senior industry professionals.

Over time, the role may expand into broader Knowledge Center responsibilities, including: training and/or managing future research specialists, more complex important sourcing engagements, expert-network development initiatives, supporting DeciBio’s internal and proprietary Intelligence Portal, AI-enabled research, special research projects, business-development support, knowledge management, and eventually the management of additional research-support resources. The right employee could also grow to help identify and coordinate qualified business development conversations.

Requirements

  • Undergraduate degree or equivalent.
  • Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the jurisdiction(s) hired for, for the entire duration of their employment.
  • Success in this role requires operational efficiency and rigor, interpersonal finesse, written communication skills, superior organization while managing multiple workstreams and many moving pieces, exceptional attention to detail, an ability to quickly learn unfamiliar topics, intellectual curiosity, unrelenting professionalism, social confidence (including while conducting cold outreach with senior professionals by phone and email), resilience and persistence, adaptability, an ability to work independently while communicating proactively, high responsiveness in a fast-paced work environment, exemplary ambassadorship of the DeciBio brand, a positive and service-oriented attitude with a strong sense of ownership, good judgment, and a drive to exceed measurable goals on a regular basis.
  • Preferred but not required: Academic background or demonstrated interest in biology, healthcare, life sciences, or a related field. Internship or early experience in recruiting, sales development, market research, consulting, customer success, or an expert-network business. Familiarity with life-sciences companies, clinical markets, research tools, diagnostics, or biopharma. Experience conducting online research or using professional networking and CRM platforms. Experience in a role involving high-volume outreach, scheduling, or external relationship management.

Compensation

In addition to base salary (varies depending on experience and location, as this job is intended for UK; targeting £38,000 for London and $73,000 for our LA office), DeciBio offers performance-based incentives, year-end company-wide profit sharing, and comprehensive employee benefits.

The incentive component may reflect successful completion of qualified expert interviews, sourcing quality, responsiveness, accuracy, and broader team contribution. Specific compensation will depend on location and experience.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
