Consulting Commercial Leader, Life Sciences and EHS

Triumvirate Environmental is one of the largest integrated environmental services firms in North America, serving the life sciences, healthcare, higher education, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Our model combines on-site embedded personnel, project-based consulting, field services, and waste management into a single platform that delivers comprehensive solutions no pure-play competitor can replicate. With more than 500 embedded professionals working inside client facilities across the country, we maintain deep, enduring relationships with many of the most recognized names in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, and medical devices. We are in a significant growth phase, scaling our consulting and professional services division substantially over the next several years.

What sets Triumvirate apart is that we do not just manage waste. We transform it. Our Plastics4Purpose program, built over more than a decade organically and through acquisition, converts tens of millions of pounds of regulated medical and laboratory plastics into commercial products every year. Combined with our embedded personnel who drive daily waste reduction and segregation improvement inside client facilities, and our consulting team who designs the multi-year circularity programs that close the gap between published targets and operational reality, we deliver the kind of self-funding projects that CFOs actively want in their capital plans.

About the Role

The Consulting Commercial Leader is a senior consulting leader who both wins and oversees delivery of complex consulting engagements for clients in life sciences, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing. You will carry a personal book of business targeting $3 million or more in annual revenue while leading the delivery of multi-site, multi-disciplinary consulting programs at scale.

What makes this role different from a traditional consulting partner position is the commercial engine behind you. Our embedded sales organization has built robust multi-decade relationships and proven track records with some of the most exciting companies in pharma and life sciences. They are skilled at opening doors that traditional consulting firms spend years trying to access, and they generate real-time intelligence from inside client operations that no competitor can replicate. Your ability to convert that intelligence into multi-million dollar consulting programs, and to deliver results that strengthen the full client relationship across all of Triumvirate's service lines, is what defines success in this role.

The ideal candidate brings management consulting rigor and deep life sciences domain expertise. We value backgrounds in operational excellence, Lean and Six Sigma, manufacturing process optimization, regulatory compliance, and circularity program design as highly as traditional EHS consulting experience. What matters most is demonstrated experience developing and running multi-million dollar consulting programs for life sciences organizations, including programs that deliver measurable waste reduction, material recovery, and operational cost savings, and the ability to do so at enterprise scale.

This position reports to our Head of Consulting. This role offers a hybrid work model and can be based anywhere on the East Coast between Boston, MA and Raleigh, NC.
