• Support the Director of Business Development in preparing for key sponsor interactions, including developing pitches and proposals, building conference materials, and ensuring the team shows up well-prepared for high-stakes meetings
• Continuously identify opportunities to streamline and improve the business development process to accelerate deal pull-through and reduce time to contract close

Required Qualifications

• 4–7 years of experience in life sciences, clinical trials, business development, or enterprise partnerships
• Experience managing end-to-end commercial processes, from scoping and pricing through contract execution
• Strong cross-functional collaborator with a track record of working effectively across clinical, operations, and legal teams
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple deals and workstreams simultaneously
