About Us

At MedComms Experts and NexGen, who have recently combined forces, we believe our transformational role in communicating scientific progress has the power to shape clinical practice and improve lives.

We stand apart through strategic and creative thinking, excellence in execution, and a people-first, collaborative mindset. We partner with clients who share our ambition to challenge convention and co-create innovative solutions that make complex science accessible, engaging, and memorable.

By combining scientific depth with human-centred storytelling and digital innovation, we help medical and scientific leaders communicate with clarity, authenticity, and measurable impact.

 

Overview

We are seeking a dedicated Kantata Administrator to serve as the internal Subject Matter Expert (SME) and superuser for our Kantata Professional Services Automation (PSA) platform (formerly Mavenlink). This individual will own the end-to-end administration, optimization, and governance of the system, ensuring it effectively supports resource management, project delivery, financial tracking, and executive reporting.

This role will act as the primary point of contact for all things Kantata—leading system configuration, reporting strategy, user enablement, data integrity, and integrations with NetSuite and Salesforce. The ideal candidate combines strong technical administration skills with business process acumen across Professional Services, Finance, and Sales operations.

Beyond technical expertise, this role requires strong interpersonal skills and the confidence to drive behavioral change. We're looking for someone who will teach teams "how to fish"—building sustainable habits around project management and reporting.
