You will also partner with the scientific and CS leads to streamline processes, review work, maintain quality standards and drive business growth. Drawing on your strategic insights, you will identify new business opportunities and contribute to innovative new business solutions alongside the agency leadership. Reporting to the Senior Scientific Director, this role offers opportunities to be a partner and trusted advisor to colleagues and external stakeholders, with travel for educational events.
