Sold into pharma? Your next move could be selling education that changes clinical practice.
If you've built relationships with pharma and biotech teams, whether in medical affairs, medical communications, HCP media and advertising, congress sponsorship or digital engagement, you already have most of what this role needs. Our client will teach you the rest.
About our client
Our client is a well-established, internationally recognised accredited provider of medical education for healthcare professionals. With a portfolio spanning live and hybrid symposia, virtual webcasts, on-demand programmes and multi-format curricula across major therapy areas, they have a strong reputation for scientific quality and independence. Their programmes are funded through educational grants from biopharmaceutical companies.
The opportunity
Their global education division is growing, with Europe as the priority market. They're looking for a commercially driven business developer to win and grow biopharma partnerships outside the US. You'll report into senior divisional leadership and be backed by specialist scientific strategy and grant-writing teams. You open the doors and build the relationships, and they help you shape and write the proposals.
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.
