We’re currently recruitment for one of the UK’s largest healthcare solutions businesses, building a brand new commercial team from the ground up. The focus will be on RWD captured through their portfolio of sector leading community pharmacy software and GP practice management solutions, giving clients access to an unprecedented quality and quantity of healthcare date for more than 60% of the UK population. Although it’s a new business unit you’ll be part of the wider UK group of 650 people and a global group with 4500 people.

The role:

It’s a home and field based role dealing with pharma, biotech and other related life science clients primarily in and around London and along the M4 and M40 corridors.

• Experience of producing bespoke proposals and pitching/winning business at £10k-£100k levels
• A good understanding of the pharma industry and a strong network across large and small pharma, biotech and other related life science sectors.
