Bienvenue à l'avantage de l'agence
Je m'appelle Sian Kneller, MSc, CMPP
Je suis un professionnel chevronné des affaires médicales avec près de deux décennies d'expérience dans l'enseignement médical. Tout au long de ma carrière dynamique, j'ai perfectionné mes compétences en travaillant à la fois en interne dans l'industrie pharmaceutique et dans diverses agences englobant l'enseignement médical, la publicité et les relations publiques.
Mes trois missions principales :
1) Augmenter la visibilité des affaires médicales au sein de l'industrie pharmaceutique : plus la visibilité est grande, plus nous pouvons offrir de services aux patients
2) Aider les personnes ayant travaillé en agence à obtenir l'emploi de leurs rêves en interne dans l'industrie pharmaceutique
3) Soutenir et sensibiliser à la neurodiversité, aux introvertis et aux femmes dirigeantes
We’re a social enterprise on a mission to make career support accessible, real, and impactful: for everyone, especially those who’ve been historically overlooked.
We offer career coaching, resources, and strategic guidance with a focus on biotech, pharma, and health sectors. Whether you're navigating a pivot, dealing with burnout, or trying to break into a new field, we help you move forward with confidence and clarity.
As a neurodivergent myself (AuDHD), I get the unspoken rules of work, and we build safe, supportive spaces for women, neurodivergent folks, racialised communities, and anyone who’s been excluded from the status quo.
Our approach is straight-talking, strengths-based, and radically inclusive.
We believe career growth shouldn’t be gatekept, and we’re here to open the doors wide.

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.
