Introduction

Essentially, I can provide both lower level and high level support on an interim basis within pharma, biotech or the medical device arena for both short term and longer term projects. Whether you need a product manager to provide product support on an ongoing basis or a therapy area director to provide continuity of strategic leadership because a higher profile person has left, I can help. Furthermore, I can do so on either a full-time or a part-time basis.

What can I do?

Product & marketing management - the traditional definition - brand management, materials, communications etc
Strategic marketing & marketing planning - everything from market access strategies to lifecycle management
Opinion leader development & liaison - UK, USA & Europe
Product launch preparation, planning & implementation - UK, USA & Europe
Educational symposia management - UK, USA & Europe
Market research - especially market & opinion leader-based research, understanding how markets work, market size etc
Sales force development & training
Market liaison, from development stage through to post-launch
Marketing representation into product development
Creating the story for a product under development - useful in the early stages, where you can't commit full-time resources

For a clearer idea of my expertise, you can look at both my experience in About Us or examples of my work todate, or simply contact me

Where can I do it?

Anywhere!
UK - obviously a particular specialty
Europe
USA
Rest of World (although my experience is predominantly in the above)

Essentially I can work where you want me to or even a mixture of locations e.g. partly at home base perhaps for research so that you don't carry subsistence costs and partly on location.

I do not hold a US work permit (Employment Authorization Document) and so can work immediately as an International-based Contractor employed out of the UK or am happy to be supported through the application process for an H-1B visa for longer term, US-based assignments (assuming the annual quota has not been exceeded). It comes down to location in the end. If the predominance of work can be reasonably conducted externally, with US visits for meetings, briefings etc then UK-based is probably best. For more involved roles, such as a leadership role, where supervision of a team is required, then it will probably have to be the visa route.

Costs involved?

It depends on the length of the piece of string, the location of the work and the intensity or seniority of the role. For most contracts, I simply invoice you, so you don't need to worry about employer on-costs. However, here's some guidance:

For a longer term contract, think equivalent permanent salary (employee salary without employer on-costs) plus around 20 - 25% (allows for unpaid holidays, downtime, insurances etc)
For foreign contracts subsistence needs including
Expenses would be agreed up front and reimbursed at cost (generally business-class travel)

Every contract is different. It's best to talk.
