Director of Business Development

Invenia Search has partnered with an established, profitable global life sciences company to hire a Director of Business Development for California. The company develops its own assay platform and offers a growing portfolio of bioanalytical CRO services built on that technology, so you will be selling clinical bioanalytical solutions direct from the developer of the science – a real point of difference in the market.

Role Responsibilities:

This is a senior, field-based role selling clinical bioanalytical services, including PK/PD, immunogenicity and biomarker testing, to pharma and biotech clients, with full ownership of a standalone territory.

• Develop new business across pharma and biotech accounts, building and managing a qualified pipeline of CRO services opportunities

• Own the full sales cycle, from prospecting and qualification through to proposal, negotiation and close

• Build relationships with senior decision-makers, including Directors and VPs in clinical development and outsourcing

• Represent the business at industry conferences and client meetings

• Share market intelligence to inform commercial strategy and service development

What We Are Looking For:

We are looking for a self-directed business developer who can build a pipeline independently and hold credible, technical conversations with senior stakeholders.

• A proven track record selling CRO or outsourced bioanalytical services (rather than instruments or reagents)

• Experience in clinical (human sample) work, with a strong understanding of clinical trials, drug development and bioanalytical testing, including GLP/GCLP, PK, PD and immunogenicity

• Established senior contacts across pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients

• A prospecting-led approach and the drive to build a territory from the ground up

Sound Interesting? If you are looking to grow your career with a stable global business whose services division is actively growing, we would like to hear from you. The package includes a competitive base salary with uncapped quarterly and annual bonuses and strong on-target earnings, and you will be backed by a large scientific and operational team.
