## About the role

Originate and close partnerships across pharma, diagnostics, and synthetic biology. Own the commercial workstream from qualification through signature, alongside a product lead who owns technical scope and scientific execution.

## What they're looking for

- You have personally led and closed complex life sciences partnerships, and can explain what you did from first substantive conversation through signature
- You have relationships with decision-makers in at least one of our core markets and know how to build credibility in accounts where you do not
- You understand how large life sciences companies fund and approve work across research, business development, legal, procurement, data governance, and executive leadership
- You are technically fluent enough to understand what our models can do, identify where a proposed commitment outruns the evidence, and represent Radical credibly with scientific leaders
- You can distinguish a serious commercial opportunity from an interesting research conversation, and you are willing to end the latter before it consumes the team
- You are comfortable creating deal structures and internal processes before there is a standard playbook
