Director of Business Development

Business Development Director – UK | Life Sciences &​ Healthcare Logistics

Are you at your best when you’re opening doors, building strategic relationships and turning complex customer challenges into long-term commercial partnerships?

We’re partnering with a global leader in specialist life sciences and healthcare logistics to identify a high-performing Business Development Director to drive growth across the UK.

This is a genuinely strategic commercial role with the opportunity to work across a broad portfolio of specialist solutions supporting pharmaceutical, biotech, CRO, CDMO, laboratory and healthcare organisations.

You’ll be responsible for developing new business, growing strategic accounts and building a high-quality sales pipeline across a defined UK territory.

What makes the opportunity interesting:

• Significant autonomy to develop and execute your own commercial strategy
• A broad, consultative service portfolio rather than a single-product sale
• Exposure to some of the most innovative organisations across pharma and biotech
• The backing, infrastructure and global reach of an established international organisation
• A role where commercial performance, customer relationships and strategic thinking are genuinely visible

What we’re looking for:

You’ll ideally bring at least 5 years’ experience in business development or complex solution selling within life sciences, healthcare, specialist logistics or a closely related market.

More importantly, you’ll be able to demonstrate:

• A strong track record of winning and developing new business
• Consistent achievement or overachievement against revenue targets
• Experience selling complex, consultative solutions
• Credibility with senior stakeholders across pharmaceutical, biotech, CRO, CDMO, laboratory or healthcare environments
• The ability to manage both new-business generation and strategic account development
• Confidence working within a fast-paced, international and matrixed organisation

Experience within clinical trial logistics, specialist healthcare logistics, clinical supply, temperature-controlled logistics or another regulated life sciences environment would be particularly relevant.

If you’re commercially ambitious, enjoy building markets rather than simply inheriting accounts, and want to represent a sophisticated global service offering, I’d be very interested in speaking with you.
