Provide Expert Technical Support

• Diagnose and resolve platform issues through systematic troubleshooting, documenting problems clearly and coordinating with Engineering on appropriate resolution paths
• Develop deep platform expertise that enables you to answer complex technical questions and guide customers through sophisticated workflows
• Create feedback loops that ensure technical issues inform long-term product improvements

Essential Qualifications

• 8+ years of customer success, management consulting, partnerships, account management, or implementation experience in pharmaceutical, biopharma, biotech, or life sciences industries

• Direct experience in biopharma Search & Evaluation, Business Development, Licensing, Portfolio Management, or Strategy roles
• Track record of driving measurable customer outcomes, achieving retention and expansion targets
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML platforms, advanced analytics tools, or decision intelligence software
• Proficiency with customer success platforms (Hub Spot, etc.)
• Advanced degree (MS, PhD, MBA) in life sciences, business, or a related field
