General Manager, USLead With Purpose. Build With Your Own Hands. Shape What’s Next.About VCLSEvery great organization begins with a belief. At VCLS, ours was simple: science and human connection—not scale—are the true engines of innovation. Since 1997, that belief has guided us as we partner with biotech, medtech, and healthtech pioneers to help life-changing ideas reach patients.
Today, with... 230+ experts across 10 countries, our ambition remains bold: By 2050, to help deliver 500 transformative healthtech products to patients worldwide.
The US is a cornerstone of that mission — a place where breakthroughs accelerate, relationships drive momentum, and leadership is earned through action.

Why This Role MattersWe’re searching for a General Manager, US, who leads with purpose and rolls up their sleeves with conviction. Someone who is not only a strategic thinker but a hands-on business developer — a leader who picks up the phone, walks into the room, and builds trust one conversation at a time.
This is a role for a builder. A leader from the CRO, Life Science, or Regulatory Consulting space who understands that growth doesn’t happen to an organization — it happens through its people, and through the leaders who model the behavior they expect.
You will shape the next chapter of VCLS in the US:
- growing a values-driven consulting business,
- strengthening the culture that energizes it, and
- helping deliver scientific innovation to the patients who depend on it.

If you believe that leadership is a responsibility, not a title — and that business development is an act of service rooted in listening, curiosity, and partnership — this role is for you.

What You’ll DoHands-On Business Development & Market Leadership- Personally lead high-impact business development efforts — from opening doors to closing strategic partnerships.
- Build long-term, trust-based relationships with biotech, pharma, medtech, and investor communities.
- Act as the face and voice of VCLS in the US, positioning us as a strategic partner across regulatory, clinical, and evidence-generation solutions.
- Generate opportunities that connect the US market to the broader VCLS global ecosystem.

Strategic & Operational Leadership- Define and execute the US strategy in alignment with global ambitions.
- Drive financial performance, sustainable growth, and operational excellence.
- Ensure delivery of high-quality, science-grounded consulting services.
- Collaborate closely with global leadership to share knowledge, optimize resources, and strengthen our cross-continental impact.

People, Culture & Leadership- Inspire, empower, and coach consulting and BD teams to do the best work of their careers.
- Foster a culture rooted in our PIPE values — People, Innovation, Passion, Excellence.
- Create conditions where talent thrives, curiosity is encouraged, and collaboration becomes a competitive advantage.
- Embody the VCLS spirit: purpose-driven, human-centered, resilient, and committed to meaningful impact.
