Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.
Why this is worth applying to
Only worth applying if you already have significant CDMO or pharmaceutical manufacturing business development experience and can demonstrate commercial deal ownership. Most clinicians should not consider this unless they have a non-clinical commercial career track.
Who should apply
Pharmacists, physicians, or healthcare graduates with prior biopharma/CDMO sales, business development, account management, or commercial strategy experience, especially those with MSc-level life sciences training and West Coast availability.
CV angle
Frame any pharma, biotech, manufacturing, or healthcare-industry experience in commercial terms: client engagement, KPI reporting, cross-functional coordination, regulatory understanding, technology transfer exposure, and contract or stakeholder management. Do not present clinical duties as sales experience; instead translate relevant scientific and stakeholder work into business development language.
Skills to highlight
- Business development
- CDMO and pharmaceutical manufacturing knowledge
- Client relationship management
- Contract negotiation
- Market and competitive intelligence
- Cross-functional coordination
- Sales pipeline and budget management
- Regulatory and technology transfer understanding
