Strategy and Business Development Principal, International Health

Worth considering only if you already have strategy, consulting, or payer/insurance experience plus an MBA or equivalent; it is not a realistic first non-clinical move for a practising clinician. Without a job description, treat it as a networking/exploratory application at best.

Clinicians who have already moved into payer, health insurance, consulting, or corporate strategy roles; physician-executives with international health system or health economics experience; clinician-MBAs with partnership or market-entry track records.

Lead with measurable strategy and commercial outcomes, not clinical duties: frame clinical leadership as P&L-adjacent budget ownership, quality/performance improvement as operational transformation, and cross-specialty or cross-site projects as stakeholder management across a matrix. Quantify scope (budgets, headcount, patient populations, cost savings, growth delivered) and translate any international or multi-market exposure into market-entry language. Never claim strategy or BD experience you do not have — instead position clinical insight into care delivery, utilisation, and cost drivers as the domain edge a generalist strategist lacks.
