Are you bored with your job? You’re hitting your sales targets and selling sponsorships galore. But there’s something about your role that just isn’t doing it for you anymore. You’re seeking a new challenge, in a company that rewards talent - and isn’t just repackaging the same old events and forcing you to repeat the same old script. If all of this resonates - then we might have just the role you’re looking for. Impatient Health is a young, fast-growing company with an audacious mission. We exist to challenge the status quo within life sciences. Tell me more… Let's be honest - the pharma industry is generally very traditional and doesn’t have a great reputation. Yet the work it does is life-or-death important, and health is a very emotive industry. It could be so much better - and we want to help it get there. Impatient Health is a catalyst for change within pharma. We connect those who believe that pharma has great untapped potential and are desperate to do things differently - and help them through events, research and strategy consulting. Our in person events and webinars are for pharma’s rebels - people who want to light a fire under our industry, not just collect lanyards. Despite being young as a company (we’ll soon be celebrating our 5th birthday!), we have some incredible assets – (i) knowing everyone in the industry, (ii) having an ‘independent’ positioning, and (iii) having a well-known CEO who is a disruptor & thought-leader. This gives us a unique platform from which to challenge others and inspire them to do better for patients.
