About Stemgenic

Stemgenic is a Singapore-headquartered boutique executive search and career advisory firm specialising in leadership and business-critical functional roles across industrial and scientific sectors in APAC. As we continue to expand, we are looking for an experienced search consultant to drive our Pharma & Life Sciences practice across APAC. This is an opportunity for a high-performing recruitment professional who wants to focus on what they do best (clients, candidates and placements), backed by a platform that removes the distractions.

The Opportunity

You will run the Pharma & Life Sciences desk with full autonomy, building senior client relationships and delivering executive search mandates across APAC. This is a hands-on, billing-focused role for someone who thrives on client relationships and search delivery, without the responsibility of managing a team.

What You Will Do

  • Run the Pharma & Life Sciences desk across APAC, managing your own client portfolio and pipeline
  • Build and deepen trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and HR partners within Pharma & Life Sciences companies across APAC
  • Win and deliver retained and exclusive executive search mandates, from brief to offer
  • Headhunt and engage senior, often passive, candidates with discretion and credibility
  • Drive consistent revenue and placements from your desk
  • Collaborate with other Stemgenic desks on shared clients and cross-sector opportunities

Job Requirements

  • A strong and consistent billing track record in executive search or senior-level recruitment within Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology or Life Sciences
  • An established network of client relationships and commercial contacts across the sector, with the ability to develop business from day one
  • Strong understanding of the Pharma & Life Sciences landscape, its business functions, leadership requirements and specialist talent markets in the APAC region
  • Demonstrated success in winning and delivering senior-level recruitment or executive search assignments
  • Strong relationship-building skills and the credibility to engage senior executives and decision-makers
  • A self-driven, commercial approach and comfort working with full autonomy

What We Offer

  • Attractive base salary to keep your momentum going, and uncapped commission on every placement
  • A dedicated resourcer supporting your searches
  • An AI-powered tech stack that runs end-to-end across your desk
  • Island-wide coworking access and flexible working
  • Full autonomy over your desk, clients and approach
  • Clear visibility of your desk’s performance, and a clear path to progression

Please be advised that due to the considerable number of applications we receive, we are only able to contact candidates who meet our client’s requirements. 

We appreciate your understanding and wish you the best in your career endeavors.
