Compensation Advisory
Board-ready compensation analysis for senior leadership roles in life sciences. Built from search mandate intelligence, not salary surveys.
The Problem
Salary Surveys Are Not Built for VP-Level Hires
Standard compensation surveys aggregate data across thousands of roles and companies. They tell you what the average VP Quality earns. They do not tell you what a VP Quality with ADC containment experience, FDA inspection leadership, and multi-site CDMO management earns in the US Northeast in 2026. That is a fundamentally different question.
ProGen Search compensation advisory reports are built from the same intelligence we gather running retained executive searches: real offer data, real counter-offer scenarios, real candidate expectations. The result is a document you can take into a compensation committee, a board meeting, or a hiring manager conversation with confidence.

Use Cases
Who This Is For
HR & Talent Acquisition Leaders
You need data to justify a compensation band to your CFO or board. A salary survey says one thing, your hiring manager says another, and you need a credible third-party view to break the deadlock.
COOs & Hiring Managers
You are building a team for a new site, a new programme, or a new geography and need to understand the realistic cost and timeline before you commit a budget.
Investors & Board Members
You want to stress-test a portfolio company's hiring plan or understand whether their leadership compensation is competitive enough to attract the talent needed to execute.
