About the Company

Our client is a PE-backed global professional services company serving healthcare and life sciences clients. The business helps pharmaceutical, biotech, and scientific teams turn complex medical information into clear strategy, education, and communication programs.

The company recently combined with another specialized firm and is now building a stronger global platform. The next phase is focused on integration, better reporting, margin improvement, future acquisitions, and exit readiness.

They are hiring a CFO to help lead that work. This is not a maintenance role. It is a chance to build the finance function, partner with the CEO and Board, support M&A, and help shape the value-creation story ahead of a future transaction.
