The Opportunity

This is not just another sales role.

You’ll be joining a fast-growing UK business at the forefront of transforming how life-saving drugs are developed. With a proven track record of securing multi-million-pound transatlantic deals with leading global pharmaceutical companies, the business is scaling rapidly—and you could be a key part of that journey.

If you’re looking to sell a genuinely innovative solution, work with an exceptional leadership team, and accelerate your career in a high-growth environment, this is your chance.

About the Company & Solution

This organisation is redefining how Electronic Health Record (EHR) data is used in clinical research.

Their cutting-edge SaaS platform analyses and interprets real-world healthcare data, turning it into powerful insights that drive smarter, faster drug development.

Clients—including major global pharmaceutical companies—use this platform to:

* Access real-time, searchable patient data

* Optimise clinical trial design and execution

* Reduce development timelines and costs

* Bring life-saving treatments to market faster

The impact? Tangible improvements in global health outcomes, powered by data.

The Role

As a Business Development Manager, you will play a pivotal role in driving new business growth across the pharmaceutical and CRO landscape.

This is a strategic, consultative sales position where you’ll engage senior stakeholders and build demand for a complex, high-value solution.

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy creating opportunities from scratch, navigating long sales cycles, and influencing decision-makers in a highly specialised market.

Key Responsibilities

* Build, manage, and convert a high-quality pipeline of new business opportunities

* Identify and engage key stakeholders across pharmaceutical companies and CROs

* Develop relationships with teams in clinical development, medical affairs, and real-world evidence

* Lead consultative sales processes from initial engagement through to close

* Articulate the value of a complex, data-driven SaaS solution

* Maintain accurate pipeline visibility and forecasting via CRM

About You

We’re looking for a driven, commercially minded sales professional who is ready to step up and make an impact.

You will have:

* 1–3 years’ experience in a relevant sales or business development role

* Exposure to the life sciences, pharmaceutical, or CRO market

* A track record of generating new business and hitting targets

* Experience selling solutions (ideally SaaS or data-driven offerings)

* The ability to engage multiple stakeholders and manage complex sales cycles

* A proactive, self-starting mindset with the hunger to succeed

Most importantly, you’re ambitious, resilient, and excited by the opportunity to sell something that genuinely makes a difference.

Why Join?

* Sell a truly innovative, market-leading solution

* Be part of a company closing multi-million-pound global deals

* Work directly with an experienced and supportive leadership team

* Enjoy significant earning potential with uncapped commission

* Accelerate your career in a high-growth, high-impact sector

* Contribute to advancements in life-saving drug development

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise biotech jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and trade channels that reach biotech R&D and bioprocessing talent. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the genomics, cell therapy and AI-driven drug discovery hiring trends shaping UK biotech careers. Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
