Working with Eleanor Steele: The MedComms Mentor

Building a scientific team

Do you need support with building the optimal scientific team?

Building a new scientific team, whether within a new agency, or a new business unit within an existing agency, can be a daunting prospect.

I have built teams from scratch in several agencies, and understand the components that go into creating the team that’s right for your specific business.

I have also developed and grown teams within existing agencies, helping them evolve with the changing needs of their clients and the business goals of the agency.

How can the MedComms Mentor help?

I offer bespoke consultancy to consider your current team structure and then develop a practical plan for building the team you need for your business to be successful in the long term.

This can include:

Team structure

  • Job description development

  • Career pathway planning

  • Succession and progression planning

Recruitment

  • Strategy development

  • Candidate selection

  • Writing test development and marking support

  • Interview structure and delivery guidance
