About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and commercially driven Manager of Business Development to own end-to-end BD execution across our IBD, broader GI, and hepatology portfolio. This is a highly cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of commercial strategy, site operations, and sponsor partnerships. Reporting to the Director of Business Development, you will serve as the primary internal point of contact for new contracts and play a critical role in ensuring seamless execution from lead to signed study. You will own the processes, metrics, and relationships that keep our BD pipeline moving — and ultimately help bring new therapies to patients faster.

• Lead the cross-functional scoping and pricing process for new study opportunities
• Keep the business development pipeline organized and visible by maintaining up-to-date reporting on where each opportunity stands
• Support the Director of Business Development in preparing for key sponsor interactions, including developing pitches and proposals, building conference materials, and ensuring the team shows up well-prepared for high-stakes meetings
• Continuously identify opportunities to streamline and improve the business development process to accelerate deal pull-through and reduce time to contract close

Required Qualifications

• 4–7+ years of experience in life sciences, clinical trials, business development, or enterprise partnerships
• Experience managing end-to-end commercial processes, from scoping and pricing through contract execution
• Strong cross-functional collaborator with a track record of working effectively across clinical, operations, and legal teams
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple deals and workstreams simultaneously
• Excellent communication and relationship management skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with competing priorities
