Head of Sales | AI Biotech
I'm working with an AI biotech that's changing how drug discovery is done.
They've built an AI-native platform that helps pharmaceutical companies replace time-consuming wet lab experiments with virtual discovery, allowing researchers to assess millions of experiments in a fraction of the time. Their technology is already being used by some of the world's leading pharma companies, and as demand continues to grow, they're looking for their first commercial leader.
This is a genuine opportunity to build something from the ground up.
They're looking for a Head of Sales who enjoys being hands-on. You'll be responsible for winning new business while building the commercial function, developing the go-to-market strategy and putting the foundations in place for future growth.
