RBW Consulting is looking for an experienced Life Sciences Contract Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team.
This is not a role for someone who simply fills jobs. We're looking for someone who has built, developed and grown a specialist contract recruitment desk, understands how to create a market presence within a chosen vertical, and has a proven track record of winning and retaining business.
You will have the freedom to own your market, build your brand within it, and become a recognised specialist while leveraging RBW's established reputation across the global life sciences sector.

Demonstrable experience building a successful contract recruitment desk within Life Sciences
Clear market specialism and strategic vertical focus (e.g. Clinical, Biometrics, Regulatory, Quality, Manufacturing, Engineering, Technology, Data, Medical Affairs, Supply Chain etc.)
Proven business development success, including winning new clients directly
Experience growing and maintaining a consistent contract book
Strong understanding of contractor management, rate negotiations and client relationship development
Ability to identify market opportunities and create a structured plan for desk growth
Self-sufficient recruiter capable of developing long-term client partnerships
What You'll Be Doing
- Building and growing a specialist life sciences contract desk
- Developing a clear vertical market strategy
- Winning new business through targeted business development
- Managing and expanding existing client relationships
- Sourcing, engaging and retaining high-quality contract talent
- Building a sustainable contract book with recurring revenue
- Becoming a recognised market expert within your chosen niche
We're particularly interested in recruiters who can demonstrate:
- How they identified and developed a specialist market
- Their approach to business development and account growth
- Examples of clients won and retained
- Evidence of repeat contractor placements
- A clear vision for how they would build and scale a life sciences contract vertical
Why RBW?
At RBW, we specialise exclusively in Life Sciences and work with some of the world's leading pharmaceutical, biotech, CRO, CDMO and medical technology organisations.
You’ll be joining a business with an established client base, strong delivery capability and genuine ambition to continue expanding our contract offering across the UK and Europe.
Whether you’re already a top-performing contract recruiter looking for more autonomy, or you’ve successfully built a niche desk and want the platform to scale it further, we’d love to hear from you.
