## About the role

## What they're looking for

- Open doors. Build a focused target list with the CEO and secure meetings with relevant pharma and biotech decision-makers. Draw on existing relationships where useful, but be equally effective opening new accounts
- Typically 7+ years in life sciences business development, partnerships, or related commercial roles, with substantial hands-on experience selling to pharma or biotech
- Experience creating opportunities while the offering, buyer, or use case was still being defined, rather than relying on a mature product and established sales motion
- Demonstrated ability to gain access to relevant decision-makers, build relationships from scratch, identify budget owners, and navigate complex pharma buying processes
- Commercial judgment to explore medical affairs, HEOR, R&D, commercial, and other functions without assuming in advance where the strongest demand will be
- Strong commercial execution, including meeting preparation, persistent follow-through, proposals, negotiation, and the ability to sustain momentum through long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles
