Who We Are

Innovations in Life Sciences Shaping the Future

Greenstaff Life Sciences is the specialist life sciences division of ICG Medical, a healthcare recruitment group with decades dedicated to better patient care. We partner with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and CRO organizations to find and build the teams that take new therapies and technologies from development to patients.

In 2026, we are bringing that expertise to the United States. Building on the foundations we established supporting cell and gene therapy CMC, regulatory, and clinical teams internationally, our US launch broadens both our footprint and our service offering — giving life sciences companies a single recruitment partner across the full development and commercial lifecycle, from early research through launch.

Where we began with a focused specialism in cell and gene therapy, Greenstaff Life Sciences now supports talent needs across the full spectrum of life sciences functions, including:

  • Research & Development
  • Clinical Operations and Clinical Development
  • Regulatory Affairs
  • Quality Assurance and Quality Control
  • Manufacturing, CMC, and Supply Chain
  • Medical Affairs
  • Commercial, Market Access, and Executive Search

We offer this expertise through the full range of workforce models companies need to move quickly: permanent hires, contract and interim staff, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), Functional Service Provider (FSP) partnerships, and specialist consulting and advisory engagements — tailored to each organization’s stage, structure, and goals.

At the beginning of the conversation, the consultant asked about my career goals, preferences, and priorities for changing jobs. Based on that information, they suggested several opportunities.

"It's rare to find an agent specializing in drug development regulatory affairs and CMC within the cell and gene therapy industry. Although they're in the startup phase, they presented several unique opportunities. The interview process was thorough and detailed, providing me with in-depth information. They even provided interview preparation before the company interview, allowing me to approach it with relaxation."
