About Us

Mercator Life Sciences is part of the Sharpstream Group of companies and sits alongside its sister company, Sharpstream Life Sciences, a leading provider of retained search services to the life sciences industry. Mercator has been created to offer both existing and new clients the benefit of our market leading network of high calibre, active candidates.

At Mercator, we take a proactive approach to bringing together top talent with outstanding opportunities. We represent a select number of individuals, across a range of disciplines, in order to give them access to the best options in terms of their career development. In turn our clients benefit from an up to date view on the upper quartile talent available in the market today.

We have a team of highly talented consultants and researchers who combine market expertise with the experience of moving people on an international basis. We work across all disciplines along the value chain from research through development to more commercially orientated positions. Our experience covers all of the key therapy areas and our focus is at the middle to senior/executive management level.

This expertise is further supported by both in-house and external training, something in which Mercator invests heavily. Our executives undertake 12 days training a year - three times the industry standard - which helps to foster a culture of continuous personal development.

Due to our heritage and relationship with our sister company we have access to over 85,000 life sciences professionals on a truly global basis. This network is consistently refreshed and is constantly growing as we broaden our horizons to cover new areas both professionally and geographically.

Mercator’s activity is concentrated in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, vaccines and medical devices industries, securing executive and middle management candidates for roles across the entire value chain including research, clinical/medical, marketing/commercial, as well as in niche areas such as health economics, pricing and reimbursement and business intelligence.
