Life Science Key Account and Business Development Managers 

EOE StatementWe are an equal employment opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law.
 
Description

Our Life Science Connect Business Development Team focuses on helping our clients solve a problem or achieve an outcome, not just selling them a product or service. When done right, we are viewed as a partner, an extension of their sales and marketing team. We seek to understand, work unbelievably hard to learn what is needed, and then are relentless in our pursuit of providing real help.  

Gone are the days of measuring performance by number of dials or phone time. Sales or business development is about research, understanding how trends and forces in the industry impact our clients and potential clients. Through truly learning their business, we are able to form a hypothesis of how our products, services, and technical capabilities can help these companies overcome their challenges and grow their business. We then set about to continually test that hypothesis until together we achieve success.

If you haven't considered a sales career in the past that's OK, it might actually even be a point in your favor. Our team does include people who have made sales their career, our longest tenured employee just started his 36th year with the company! However, we also have salespeople with their Ph.D. in Neurobiology who decided life "on the bench" wasn't for them and their real passion was for helping businesses solve their problems. We look for more than just a sales background. We need someone with insatiable curiosity who asks how they can help instead of what can they get. Someone who sees failure as an often inevitable and valuable step on the path to success.

Our business is growing at an incredible rate. Recent investments in our products, services, and technical infrastructure have us well-positioned to achieve real results for our clients. To maximize this growth, we need to add Key Account and Business Development Managers to our Life Science Connect teams in Cranberry, PA and Erie, PA. These roles will be focused in our Clinical Research, Biopharmaceutical, and CDMO communities.
