For more information, please visit www.resilience.comThe Business Development Manager is a field-based, individual-contributor sales role responsible for driving new business growth for Resilience’s Biologics and Drug Product offerings across the West Coast region. This role owns the full new-business lifecycle, from prospecting and qualifying leads through proposal, negotiation, and close. The person filling this role will be measured on the volume and quality of new client relationships and revenue generated within the territory.

We are looking for a highly motivated hunter: someone who is energized by opening doors, building a pipeline, and converting relationships into signed business. The ideal candidate combines a genuine curiosity about the science with a competitive, target-driven approach to sales, and is comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy across a large geographic territory.

This position requires working knowledge of Biologics (drug substance) and Drug Product (including sterile fill/finish) development and manufacturing, enabling credible, technical conversations with scientific and business stakeholders at prospective client organizations. Level of hire (Manager vs. Senior Manager) will be based on the candidate’s experience, existing network, and demonstrated track record of new business generation.

This role is field-based and requires up to 50% travel across the West Coast territory, with periodic travel to conferences and Resilience sites nationally.
