Senior Business Development Manager, UK
Unilabs Pharma Solutions
Build new business at the forefront of drug discovery and early development
Would you like to help shape the growth of a scientific business by connecting our expertise with biotech and pharmaceutical companies developing the next generation of therapies? At Unilabs Pharma Solutions, your success will come from spotting opportunities others might miss, opening new conversations and turning them into trusted, long-term relationships. We are looking for an experienced business developer who can make an impact from the outset, building a strong pipeline and converting opportunities into new business within their first 12 months. You will combine the curiosity to understand a client’s science with the commercial instinct to recognise opportunity and the drive to turn promising conversations into lasting partnerships.
Unilabs Pharma Solutions is seeking an experienced Senior Business Development Manager to drive new business growth across its specialist bioanalytical, DMPK and drug development support services portfolio.
Unilabs Pharma Solutions supports pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies worldwide through specialised services including DMPK, ADME, bioanalysis, biomarker testing and immunogenicity support. With laboratories in the UK and Denmark, the organisation provides analytical expertise that supports customers in progressing drug candidates from discovery through clinical development and beyond.
As Senior Business Development Manager, you will identify, develop and convert new business opportunities across biotech and pharmaceutical sponsors. You will engage decision-makers, build strong customer relationships and guide opportunities through the entire commercial cycle from first contact to signed agreement.
This is a new business role focused on opportunity creation rather than account management. You will be responsible for building a robust sales pipeline and positioning Unilabs as a preferred partner for DMPK, bioanalysis and related analytical services across pharmaceutical and biotechnology development programmes.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and execute territory and target account strategies
- Identify and engage biotech and pharmaceutical sponsors, building long-term relationships across discovery and early drug development.
- Generate qualified opportunities through networking, conferences and targeted outreach
- Present Unilabs’ capabilities within DMPK, ADME and bioanalysis
- Develop customer-specific solutions together with scientific experts
- Lead commercial negotiations and proposal processes
Qualifications:
You have a successful track record in business development within CRO, bioanalysis, laboratory services or related drug development services. You understand the early stages of drug development and have experience selling scientific or technical services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
You are an entrepreneurial and highly motivated commercial professional with a strong hunter mentality. You enjoy creating opportunities from scratch, opening new customer relationships and managing long sales cycles.
Experience within DMPK, ADME, PK/PD, small and large molecule bioanalysis or related scientific services will be considered a significant advantage. Existing relationships within pharmaceutical and biotechnology organisations, CROs and related drug development partners would be advantageous.
We offer:
This role offers the opportunity to join a growing commercial organisation at a pivotal stage of its development. You will enjoy significant autonomy, flexibility and influence while working closely with highly experienced scientific and operational colleagues.
You will engage with some of the most innovative biotech and pharmaceutical companies in the industry and play a direct role in shaping the future growth of Unilabs Pharma Solutions. The position includes an attractive performance-driven compensation model with significant upside potential.
The position is remote within the United Kingdom and involves regular travel to customers and industry events.
