Business Development Director – UK | Life Sciences & Healthcare Logistics
Are you at your best when you’re opening doors, building strategic relationships and turning complex customer challenges into long-term commercial partnerships?
We’re partnering with a global leader in specialist life sciences and healthcare logistics to identify a high-performing Business Development Director to drive growth across the UK.
This is a genuinely strategic commercial role with the opportunity to work across a broad portfolio of specialist solutions supporting pharmaceutical, biotech, CRO, CDMO, laboratory and healthcare organisations.
You’ll be responsible for developing new business, growing strategic accounts and building a high-quality sales pipeline across a defined UK territory.
What makes the opportunity interesting:
- Significant autonomy to develop and execute your own commercial strategy
- A broad, consultative service portfolio rather than a single-product sale
- Exposure to some of the most innovative organisations across pharma and biotech
- The backing, infrastructure and global reach of an established international organisation
- A role where commercial performance, customer relationships and strategic thinking are genuinely visible
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we’re looking for:
You’ll ideally bring at least 5 years’ experience in business development or complex solution selling within life sciences, healthcare, specialist logistics or a closely related market.
More importantly, you’ll be able to demonstrate:
- A strong track record of winning and developing new business
- Consistent achievement or overachievement against revenue targets
- Experience selling complex, consultative solutions
- Credibility with senior stakeholders across pharmaceutical, biotech, CRO, CDMO, laboratory or healthcare environments
- The ability to manage both new-business generation and strategic account development
- Confidence working within a fast-paced, international and matrixed organisation

Experience within clinical trial logistics, specialist healthcare logistics, clinical supply, temperature-controlled logistics or another regulated life sciences environment would be particularly relevant.
If you’re commercially ambitious, enjoy building markets rather than simply inheriting accounts, and want to represent a sophisticated global service offering, I’d be very interested in speaking with you.
