Our approach
Pharmacovigilance (PV)
Pharmacovigilance is the backbone of patient safety. Monitoring, assessing and preventing adverse effects throughout the product lifecycle. As regulations tighten and data volumes grow, the need for skilled professionals has never been greater. Axion connects leading life sciences companies with exceptional Pharmacovigilance talent, from case processing and risk management to global safety leadership.
Pharmaceuticals
In one of the most regulated and competitive sectors globally, pharma companies face growing complexity – from early discovery to market access. Axion places the experts who keep drug development on track: scientists, regulatory affairs professionals, clinical trial leaders, and commercial specialists with proven impact.
Medical Device
The medical device sector is transforming patient care through rapid innovation – from diagnostics and digital health to surgical robotics. But with progress comes complexity. We partner with health tech and medical device companies to place the specialised talent across product development, quality, regulatory, clinical, and commercial functions that drives compliant, scalable growth.
CROs & CDMOs
In outsourced development and manufacturing, precision, pace, and compliance are everything. Axion works with CROs and CDMOs to recruit scientific, operational, and quality experts who ensure trials run smoothly, tech transfers succeed, and production stays compliant with GxP and global standards.
VCs and PEs
With life sciences funding at an all-time high, VC and private equity firms are backing more diverse, complex portfolios across biotech, medical device, pharma and beyond. We support investment teams and their portfolio companies with discreet, high-impact hiring – from founding teams to critical leadership – helping ventures scale faster, stronger, and with the right people in place from day one.
Biotechnology
Biotech companies are pushing the boundaries of science – from gene therapies and cell-based platforms to cutting-edge biologics. But turning potential into progress requires the right people. Axion connects pioneering biotech firms with the commercial, clinical, regulatory, and scientific talent that drives innovation from lab to launch.
