Consultant or Senior Consultant - Life Sciences at Usurpo
£20,000 - £35,000
What Hunted Says
Founded in 2011, Usurpo originally focused on the cyber security software market before moving into the Enterprise Software space in 2016. In 2018 we launched our technical and interim division (IT and IT contract focus). 2019 saw the launch of our Life Sciences function which supports VC backed biotech companies hire executive talent, on a retained basis. In 2021 we are growing all divisions with the addition of building a contract appointments team within Life Sciences. Whilst Usurpo has 2 UK offices (Reading and sunny Brighton), we serve our clients on an international basis. We have partners in 12 countries (outside of the UK), which gives us a strong unique selling point. All of our consultants can participate and take advantage of this alliance network. When permitted, international travel is encouraged! We are a people first, values led business. We pride ourselves in creating cohesive collaboration between consultants and divisions. We encourage our people to develop, improve and to become the best you can be. You'll notice from your first day that we listen to our employees, take on board your ideas and action what we agree to. You will not find broken promises here. We hire adults and will certainly treat you as one. We offer a vibrant and relaxed culture with humane working hours. Our formal working hours vary, giving you time to see the kids, go to the gym or simply enjoy life outside of work. We are not a KPI obsessed boiler room – we hire people that know what they’re doing, and trust them to do it well. In a nut-shell we have high ambition, delivered with low ego.

Why are we hiring?
been unaffected by COVID-19. We are proud that Usurpo got through the challenging earlier months of 2020 due to solid team collaboration, trust and determination. The Life Sciences function was well positioned to endure the challenging, unforeseen market that COVID-19 presented. With a number of retained mandates in place and high value contractors we have managed to get through fairly unscathed. We have always been well equipped for remote working so this wasn’t a significant change for our working practices.
The summer months have seen significant traction in all of our markets. We have recently closed a number of contract positions, won new retained business and have a robust
platform to accelerate through the rest of 2020 so we are looking to hire effective recruiters who subscribe to our culture and company
values.
Environment and hours
The ideal background
- Ideally Life Sciences experience although not entirely necessary – experience in another highly technical (science driven) industry however, is essential. Aerospace, Defense, Artificial intelligence etc.
- Motivated for the right reasons.
- Articulate, well spoken and “switched on”. Not necessarily a graduate as university isn’t for everybody but this person must be well presented, intelligent and have the ability to hold business conversations with very senior industry professionals.
Nice to have:
This role genuinely offers the opportunity to build and lead either a Life Sciences focused contract team or vertical market focused retained search team in the future. As such leadership and mentoring qualities are a plus.
