Director of Biopharma Partnerships

Unilabs · London, England, United Kingdom

IT - Network / Systems / DB AdminExecutive LevelQuick applycontract25 days ago

About The Role

  • Unilabs is one of Europe's leading diagnostics groups—processing over 237 million diagnostic tests annually
  • across 14 countries. Unilabs.AI (ULAI) is a standalone, seed-stage company venture-backed by Unilabs and A.P.
  • Møller Holding, built to turn this massive legacy infrastructure into a structured, queryable, real-time clinical data
  • asset.

Core Responsibilities

  1. The Hunt: Origination & Pipeline Building
  • Targeted Prospecting: Systematically map the global Biopharma landscape (especially in Rare Diseases,
  • Targeted Oncology, and Immunology) to identify active Phase 2b/3 pipelines that are bottlenecked by patient
  • recruitment.
  • Evangelizing the ULAI Dragnet: Secure high-level meetings with VPs of Clinical Operations, Heads of RWD,
  • and Clinical Development Leaders. Pitch the unique value of our multi-modal OS infrastructure and prove how
  • we can intercept their exact inclusion/exclusion criteria upstream.
  • Network Leverage: Utilize your existing rolodex within Biopharma to fast-track conversations, bypassing
  • standard procurement layers to engage directly with the clinical decision-makers feeling the pain of delayed
  • trials.
  1. Complex Deal Execution
  • Solution Architecture: Work with Pharma sponsors to define the exact diagnostic footprint required (e.g.,
  • combining imaging findings with declining kidney function for rare disease profiles) and translate that into a
  • commercial data/recruitment contract.
  • Closing: Own the end-to-end sales cycle. Negotiate complex SaaS, RWD licensing, and milestone-based

clinical recruitment contracts from initial MSA through to final signature.

  1. Alliance Management & Delivery
  • The Clinical Bridge: You don't just sell the deal and walk away. You will serve as the Alliance Manager, bridging
  • the gap between the Pharma sponsor's clinical teams and ULAI’s internal engineering and clinical informatics
  • teams.
  • Execution Oversight: Ensure that the data pipelines and screening algorithms we deploy actually yield the

patient volumes and RWD quality promised in the contract.

  • Account Expansion: Once a pilot rare disease dragnet proves successful, leverage that internal Pharma

champion to expand ULAI's contracts across their broader therapeutic portfolio.

Requirements

  • The Hunter Mentality: You are deeply uncomfortable with an empty calendar. You are relentless, resilient, and

view pipeline generation as the most critical part of your day.

  • Domain Fluency: You speak the language of clinical trials, real-world evidence, and targeted therapeutics. You
  • understand what Phase 2a vs. Phase 3 requires, what a synthetic control arm is, and why recruiting for a rare
  • genetic disease is a nightmare.
  • Track Record: 5–10+ years of quota-carrying BD experience selling RWD, complex CRO services, genomic
  • testing, or tech-enabled clinical trial solutions directly to Biopharma. You have a documented history of closing
  • complex, large-scale deals.
  • Autonomy & Grit: You thrive in a seed-stage, fast-moving environment. You do not need a massive marketing

department to generate a pitch deck; you build the narrative, find the target, and close the deal.

  • Language: Fluent English is mandatory; professional proficiency in French or German is highly advantageous.

Benefits

  • Hybrid working model (office & remote flexibility)
  • International, collaborative, and regulated product environment
  • Competitive compensation and benefits
  • Long-term ownership of a strategic healthcare product
  • Unmatched Product-Market Fit: You are selling access to Europe's largest, highly protected, multi-modal

diagnostic pool—a proprietary asset that no standard software company or CRO can replicate.

  • True Entrepreneurial Ownership: The execution speed and equity upside of a venture-backed

standalone startup, powered by the operational footprint of Unilabs and A.P. Møller Holding.
