Business Development Manager, Events & Sponsorship | Life Sciences

An innovative, fast-growing business that exists to help the pharma and life sciences through events, consultancy and research services, it brings together people who believe the industry has untapped potential and want to change how it works.

This consultancy has deep connections across the industry, an independent positioning, and a well-known reputation in the space. That gives the team a platform to challenge established thinking and drive better outcomes for patients.

You’ll focus on growing the business’s community and selling sponsorship across a growing portfolio of events. Your day to day will be speaking with influential stakeholders who want to drive change in the industry, not just attend events. It’s a full-cycle sales role with plenty of autonomy, and you’ll have influence over how the sales function develops.
