Project Manager – Medtech & Life Sciences (Vietnam)

What you'll be doing

You’ll be working with our international clients from both the private and public sector, with a focus on MedTech, healthcare and life sciences.

For your private sector clients, you’ll be the on-the-ground extension of your clients’ business development team, with a goal of developing their route to market, plus securing partners and customers in Vietnam. In your day-to-day, you’ll be identifying, meeting, pitching to and gathering crucial feedback from your clients’ potential customers, distributors and partners in the market. 

For some projects, you’ll be doing the groundwork: conducting the desk research and market intelligence that underpins every client engagement. That means sizing the market opportunity, mapping competitors and distribution structures, screening and qualifying potential partners and customers, and checking regulatory or certification requirements – then turning your findings into clear, client-ready market-entry reports.

You’ll be working closely with your clients and providing them with key progress indicators in the form of meeting notes, reports, and sync calls.

And when the time is right, you will arrange for your clients to visit Vietnam. You’ll be their local expert – taking them to key customer meetings, interpreting and providing the incredibly important cultural context to business conversations. 

Through all this, you’ll deepen your consulting knowledge and gain first-hand experience in making international business happen.
