Beyond Team
Our people are our strength, they drive us to be the best we can be. At Beyond Blue, we are characterized by curiosity – always asking ‘what if?’
With over 50 team members, with offices in the UK and the US, we have a mix of colleagues from scientific, commercial and research backgrounds.
For over 20 years, we have been collaborating with some of the biggest and most respected healthcare companies across the globe.
As a business, we have always prioritized organic growth that is sustainable for our team. This ensures we maintain a strong value system of integrity, honesty, and quality. As an independently owned business, we can take the time to nurture each individual and support a career in research that is right for them. As a result, many of our senior team members have been with us for years and will, hopefully, be here for many years to come.
