With an experienced team of field workers, the Project Director is responsible for briefing their team (pulled together on a project basis), as well as taking part in some of the field interviews with senior leaders. The field workers managed directly/indirectly observe healthcare professional interactions with the sales, market access, or field-based medical teams, depending on the scope and nature of the project. Whilst data is being gathered, the Project Director develops and stress-tests an initial hypothesis, so that a bespoke presentation can be brought together by the support team, and strategic recommendations can be made to the client. Project Directors thrive in the entrepreneurial environment, attracted to the high levels of accountability and opportunity to be a true partner to clients, making strategic recommendations which significantly impact the success of their business.
