About You

• Been there, succeeded at that. You have 8+ years of highly relevant experience and demonstrable high dollar figure, repeated, and recent success selling analytics services or similarly complex engagements to large and mid-sized pharmaceutical companies.
• Significant scientific acumen. You can connect the dots between our client's scientific needs and the relevant solutions and offerings. You don't need to have a Ph.D., but you should be able to converse in depth with someone who does.
• No such thing as, "not my job." You're a dive in head first, own the end-to-end, energetic, entrepreneurial, and default to do vs. delegate go getter. You bring that highly self-driven, creative problem-solver attitude with a sense of urgency to everything you do.
• Own The Room. Whether in writing, on video, or in person you blend executive presence and presentation skills with a credibility that gains the trust of scientific clients
