Business Development Director

I’m currently working on an exciting search for a Business Development Director to join a growing organisation within the biotechnology and life sciences sector.

The business is focused on developing innovative technologies and next-generation therapeutic solutions, with a growing interest in expanding its presence in the US market. They’re now looking for someone who can help drive that growth by building strong industry relationships, identifying new commercial opportunities, and developing strategic partnerships across New England.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of science and business and wants to make a real impact within an evolving life sciences organisation.

• Identifying new business opportunities and helping drive growth across the New England region.
• Building relationships with biotech companies, pharmaceutical businesses, research organisations, and potential partners.
• Exploring licensing agreements, strategic collaborations, and co-development opportunities.
• Managing the business development pipeline and turning promising conversations into meaningful partnerships.
• Working closely with senior leadership and internal teams to evaluate opportunities and negotiate commercial agreements.
• Representing the business at industry events, conferences, and meetings with potential partners.
• Keeping up to date with developments across the US biotech and pharmaceutical markets to identify new opportunities.

I’m keen to speak with professionals who have:

• A solid background in business development within biotech, pharma, life sciences, or a related field.
• Experience building strategic partnerships and negotiating commercial or licensing agreements.
• An established network across the New England life sciences community.
• An understanding of drug development, innovative therapeutic technologies, or the wider biotech landscape.
• Strong relationship-building and negotiation skills, alongside a commercial mindset.
• The ability to work independently, spot opportunities, and build relationships that deliver long-term value.

This role offers the chance to join an ambitious organisation at an exciting stage of its development, with real scope to help shape its US growth strategy.

You’ll have the opportunity to build new relationships, develop partnerships with key industry players, and play an important part in bringing innovative scientific developments closer to commercial reality.

If you’re currently working in biotech or pharma business development and open to exploring something new, I’d be happy to have a conversation.
