U
Director of Biopharma Partnerships
Unilabs · London, England, United Kingdom
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
