How I Work With Clients

If you’re ready to make a career move, whether that’s into pharma or biotech for the first time, or pivoting within the industry, you’re in the right place.

Most of my clients are career pivoters. They’re either:

 

  • Moving into pharma or biotech from adjacent fields like medcomms, consulting, CROs, policy, PR, or academia

  • Already in industry but looking to change functions, level up, or find a new role that actually fits

  • Or stepping out of academia and wondering, “Where do I even start?”

 

Wherever you’re starting from, I’ll help you get clear on your direction, build a strategy that actually works, and take action, fast.

Step 1: Free 15-Minute Discovery Call

We’ll start with a quick chat about your background, goals, and what’s been keeping you stuck.

 

After the call, I’ll send you a short summary report with insights and next steps you can take immediately.

 

No fluff. No pressure. Just clarity.

Step 2: 1-Hour Deep-Dive Consultation

This is where we dig in and get strategic.

In this one-hour session, we’ll:

  • Explore your experience, skills, and transferable strengths

  • Clarify your target roles (or brainstorm options if you’re not sure yet)

  • Identify what’s holding you back, whether that’s your CV, LinkedIn, confidence, or clarity

  • Build an actionable plan to move forward

Depending on your goals, we might:
✅ Review your CV or LinkedIn live
✅ Map out target companies or job functions
✅ Design your transition timeline step-by-step

 

Within 48 hours (often sooner), you’ll get a detailed follow-up report that includes:

  • Your personalized career roadmap

  • Recommended next steps and timeline

  • And a full Career Toolkit, including:

    • 📄 How to write a standout CV

    • 📝 How to craft a compelling cover letter

    • 💻 How to optimise your LinkedIn profile (and boost SEO)

    • 🎤 How to prepare confidently for interviews

    • 🤝 How to do effective outreach + networking (without it feeling awkward)

 

These aren’t cookie-cutter templates, they’re practical, actionable tools built from years of experience helping professionals pivot successfully in and around pharma and biotech.

Step 3: Momentum + Next Steps

After your session, I’ll often start connecting you with key people via LinkedIn to help build momentum and confidence.

 

From there, you choose how we move forward:

  • Some clients take the plan and run with it independently.

  • Others continue working with me for ongoing coaching, application reviews, or interview prep.

Step 4: Ongoing Career Support

For clients who want continued support, I offer tailored sessions on:
✨ CV + application overhauls
✨ Cover letter strategy
✨ LinkedIn redesign + positioning
✨ Interview preparation and practice
✨ Personal branding + article strategy
✨ First 90 days coaching (once you land the role)
✨ Mentorship + career growth planning

 

I also work with established professionals who want to pivot within pharma or biotech, whether that’s stepping into a new function, going for promotion, or exploring external opportunities.

FAQ

Q: Do I need multiple sessions?

Q: Who do you typically work with?
Career pivoters in and around the pharma/biotech ecosystem, including professionals in medcomms, consulting, CROs, policy, PR, and academia. I also work with people already in industry looking to change functions or companies.

Q: Can you help if I’m outside pharma or biotech?
Yes! Many of my clients come from adjacent fields. My frameworks and strategies are transferable,  I’ll help you position yourself effectively for the move.

Sur moi

Bonjour, je m'appelle Sian, je suis directrice médicale internationale et j'ai débuté dans une agence de communication médicale il y a environ 20 ans. J'ai commencé comme rédactrice médicale, puis je suis devenue directrice éditoriale. Oh, et je suis introvertie ! Même si je ne correspond pas au profil type des entreprises et des sociétés pharmaceutiques qui réussissent, je pense que c'est en fait une force.

L'expérience en agence, à mon avis (légèrement biaisé), est un formidable tremplin pour l'industrie pharmaceutique. Je sais rédiger des articles, je connais parfaitement la conformité et le pitching m'a appris à imaginer des idées créatives à la vitesse de l'éclair. J'ai travaillé dans d'innombrables domaines thérapeutiques, je me suis rapidement perfectionné et j'ai acquis un large éventail de compétences au-delà des communications médicales, comme le montage vidéo avancé, la planification des médias sociaux et même la création de sites Web.

Et voilà, je sais que je ne suis pas la seule. Si vous êtes ici, vous possédez probablement certaines de ces compétences, voire davantage. Assumons-les !
