Non-Executive Directors dedicated to the life sciences industry

Identifying independent, experienced and authoritative Non-Executive Directors can be a major challenge to even the most well-established pharmaceutical and life sciences companies.

RSA's register brings together the small, but powerful, niche community of Non-Executive Directors. The register facilitates networking, produces research into the challenges and opportunities of Non-Executive Directorship, and places qualified individuals into Board vacancies with life sciences companies (within both the public and private sector).

Jobs at RSA

The RSA culture - teamwork, quality and respect

Our culture is built around the simple principle of treating other people exactly as we'd like to be treated ourselves - and if possible offering them a better quality of service than they expect. We take care to employ individuals who share our values and will be able to settle quickly in our environment and enjoy working with us. With low rates of staff turnover this philosophy appears to work. We've done everything we can to ensure that everyone is encouraged to do what is right rather than what is expedient.

At RSA we are always on the look out for the most talented people in every function. People who identify with the values demonstrated by our credo and believe they can contribute as a part of our fast-growing global team.
