About the role

We are seeking a strategic business development lead to build our life sciences business. You will turn our early work in drug discovery and biology into long-term partnerships and revenue with pharmaceutical, biotech, and research organizations.

  • Recent deal experience bringing AI/ML, computational platforms, or data products into pharma and biotech R&D
  • Deep knowledge of drug discovery and development, and of how pharma and biotech companies evaluate, buy, and partner on R&D technology
  • High technical and scientific fluency. You understand what foundation models can do and how that translates into R&D workflows, and you can work credibly with scientists and engineers on both sides of the table
