Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and close new API CDMO business opportunities across innovator and specialty pharma clients
  • Lead end-to-end BD activities — from prospecting to proposal development, contract negotiation, and handover to project teams
  • Build long-term partnerships with biopharma companies developing small molecule APIs (early- to late-stage)
  • Represent the company at key industry events, trade shows, and face-to-face client meetings across the East Coast and beyond
  • Collaborate closely with Technical, Project Management, and Regulatory teams to align proposals with capabilities and timelines
  • Provide accurate revenue forecasting, pipeline updates, and market intelligence to senior leadership

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in business development, sales, or client-facing roles within a CDMO, CMO, or pharmaceutical services company
  • Deep understanding of small molecule API development, scale-up, and GMP manufacturing processes
  • Proven track record of meeting / exceeding sales targets in a technical, solution-based selling environment
  • Strong network within the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, ideally across the East Coast
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
  • Located on the East Coast. Ideally New England area.
  • What’s on Offer

  • Competitive base salary + performance-based bonus or commission
  • Strong benefits package and equity opportunities (where applicable)
  • Opportunity to join a high-growth, quality-focused CDMO with a strong technical reputation
  • Autonomy, visibility, and the ability to shape commercial strategy in a critical market
  • Collaborative culture with a mission-driven team focused on client success and patient impact
  • If you’re passionate about pharmaceutical science and thrive on building strategic partnerships in the API development space, we’d love to connect.
