About the Role

Are you a scientist who enjoys connecting great science with real-world impact? This could be your next step.

We're looking for a scientifically minded Business Development Manager or Director to join our U.S. team, covering the Tri-State Area. This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in drug discovery or development who's ready to move beyond the bench and into a more strategic, client-facing role.

You'll work closely with our internal scientists to shape proposals, ensure client expectations are realistic and achievable, and help translate complex scientific needs into tailored solutions. Your scientific insight will be key to building trust with clients and turning conversations into successful, long-term partnerships.

It's a remote role with regular travel across the region and perfect for someone who wants to stay close to the science while stepping into a more commercial, outward-facing position.

We are interviewing for this role on an ongoing basis. So don't miss out on this opportunity and apply as soon as possible.
