With a robust pipeline of clinical-stage assets and a commitment to patient-centric innovation, they are poised to become a leader in the precision medicine and pharmaceutical industries.

The Opportunity

Our client is seeking a visionary and results-driven Chief Operating Officer to lead all operational functions and spearhead the next phase of company growth. This pivotal role is focused on unifying the research and development, clinical operations, and commercialization teams under a single, cohesive go-to-market strategy. You will be responsible for defining and executing a comprehensive operational strategy to accelerate product development, navigate regulatory hurdles, and prepare for market launch.

You will be instrumental in driving sustainable operational growth, optimizing the entire product lifecycle, and building a high-performing, data-driven operational organization. This is a unique opportunity for a senior leader who thrives on building and scaling teams and wants to make a direct impact on the company's trajectory in a highly visible role.

What You Will Do

  • Develop and execute a comprehensive operational strategy to achieve ambitious growth targets and expand market leadership.
  • Lead and mentor the research, clinical, and commercial teams, fostering a culture of accountability and high performance.
  • Drive the entire operational cycle, from early-stage research and clinical trial management to regulatory submissions and market commercialization.
  • Identify new market opportunities and strategic partnerships to diversify revenue streams.
  • Collaborate with executive leadership to align operational goals with overall business objectives and resource allocation.
  • Utilize data and analytics to forecast pipeline progress, measure performance, and optimize development and commercial effectiveness.
  • Act as a key external representative, engaging with top-tier partners and industry leaders to strengthen brand presence and close key deals.

Who You Are

  • A Team Builder : You are skilled at recruiting, developing, and inspiring high-performing teams. You lead by example and empower your direct reports to achieve their full potential.
  • Results-Oriented : You have a verifiable track record of exceeding operational targets in a competitive B2B environment, with a strong focus on both new business acquisition and client expansion.
  • Ideal Candidate Profile

    Why Join This Team?

    This is your chance to play a key role in a company that is at the forefront of the biotechnology industry. If you are a strategic leader who thrives on building and scaling operational organizations, you will have the opportunity to shape the future of the company and earn significant equity and commissions.
