Powering Careers that Advance Life Sciences

At Oxygen 8, we believe the right people are the oxygen that allows life sciences organisations to grow, innovate, and make a real impact on the world. Talent fuels progress — and in an industry where science, ethics, and precision matter, having the right expertise in place is critical.

We are a specialist recruitment partner dedicated to the life sciences sector, connecting exceptional talent with companies working at the forefront of science, healthcare, and innovation. From early-stage biotech and high-growth scale-ups to established global pharmaceutical organisations, we support businesses that are shaping the future of human health.

Our work spans the full life sciences ecosystem, including biotech, Big Pharma, healthcare advertising, medical education (CME/IME), medical affairs, and business support/HR. We partner with organisations that develop life-changing therapies, translate complex science into responsible communication, and ensure healthcare professionals have access to high-quality education.

Operating across the UK, US, EU and APAC, we combine international reach with deep sector knowledge and a relationship-led approach. We take the time to understand our clients’ scientific, regulatory, and operational challenges — and the ambitions, motivations, and expertise of the professionals we represent.

At Oxygen 8, recruitment goes beyond filling roles. We build long-term partnerships, support career-defining moves, and help organisations create teams that deliver meaningful, measurable impact in life sciences and healthcare.
