Director/Sr Director, Business Development – IQVIA Biotech
The Role
IQVIA is currently looking to appoint a driven and experienced BD professional to drive sales and account management activities within the biotech sector in Europe. This is a critical appointment to expand our client base within the European Biotech market, and therefore we are seeking an ambitious individual with a proven track record in clinical sales.
The role will be responsible for increasing our client portfolio, and therefore be required to sell across the enterprise, including customized Phase I through IV global services. Responsibilities include managing relationships at all levels within the biotech organizational structure, including C-Suite and senior executives, with credible engagement. The role will be required to gather the necessary internal, external, and competitive intelligence on their clients, leveraging SMEs where appropriate, developing a robust, systematic account strategy, and drive superior execution to identify, drive, and expand the business across the entire IQVIA clinical solution portfolio.
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.
Critically, candidates will be required to sell and close deals of significant size and therefore IQVIA needs to appoint a strategic sales and business development leader with the experience and gravitas to operate at this level. Candidates will need to bring past solution selling expertise with a track record of leveraging organizational capabilities to upsell, driving a sophisticated and integrated sales approach to the benefit of the company.
The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate will be experienced in developing long-term relationships, identifying business opportunities, and delivering tailored solutions to meet individual client needs. Strong communication skills are essential, along with analytical acuity and the ability to define, conceptualise, and, ultimately, sell, the company’s integrated clinical solution portfolio. The individual will need to display strong ‘hunting’ skills, to engage and open out new relationships, as well as broadening the opportunity within the existing client base.
The individual will be required to work collaboratively across the organization; a sophisticated approach to relationship building, both internal and external, will also be essential.
The individual will be required to ‘hit the ground running’ and, consequently, an established network within the market would be advantageous.
The appropriate drive and resilience will be reflected in a track record of R&D/Clinical and business development contribution in past roles.
