Why this is worth applying to
Consider only if you already have pharma medical affairs/medical communications exposure and a credible commercial or business development track record. It is a poor entry point for clinicians without sales experience.
Who should apply
Physicians or pharmacists with medical affairs, medical communications, MSL, or pharma commercial experience who want to move into a senior business development role selling scientific and advisory services.
CV angle
Translate clinical and medical affairs experience into commercial language: therapeutic-area expertise, KOL/stakeholder engagement, scientific communication, cross-functional collaboration, client-facing advisory, proposal support, and measurable project outcomes. Only claim sales/BD achievements if real; otherwise emphasize transferable domain credibility and willingness to carry commercial targets.
