Powering Careers that Advance Healthcare & Life Sciences

Your Expert Partner in Healthcare Recruitment

Oxygen 8 is a specialist life sciences executive search and recruitment consultancy.

We provide high-impact talent solutions specifically tailored to the Medical Education, Pharmaceutical Advertising, and Medical Affairs sectors across the UK, US, EU, and APAC.

We recognise that in these highly regulated, science-led disciplines, a “one-size-fits-all” approach fails. Our methodology combines deep clinical sector intelligence with a relationship-driven model to identify professionals who possess both the scientific rigor and the commercial acumen required to move the needle.

Our Core Specialisations:

  • Medical Education: Sourcing scientific strategists and editorial leads who transform complex data into sophisticated educational programs.

  • Healthcare Advertising: Connecting agencies with creative and account leadership capable of building brand resonance within the global pharma landscape.

  • Medical Affairs: Identifying the MSLs, Medical Directors, and scientific advisors who serve as the critical bridge between clinical development and the wider healthcare community.

By aligning organisational vision with elite technical talent, Oxygen 8 empowers life sciences leaders to build high-performing teams that drive clinical advocacy and brand success.
