London, United Kingdom Lightship Full time

**Overview**

Lightship is a clinical trials service provider leading in increasing access and choice in taking part in research to improve equity for all. We design and conduct studies in partnership with biopharmaceutical companies to accelerate bringing new therapies to market. Our approach is to engage people where they are and support them across their journey in a clinical trial, from first contact to study completion. We work to make it easy, convenient, and safe for people to take part by offering visits in clinic, at home, using our mobile research units, and digital health tools. By transforming the way, we conduct clinical research, we can decrease study timelines and reduce dropouts to accelerate development of better therapies.

The Senior Client Partner, Strategic Accounts contributes to Lightship's ongoing growth by supporting the design and implementation of solutions that increase patient access and choice in clinical trials. This individual is highly motivated and has an extensive understanding of clinical research from the perspective of clients, partners, and Lightship clinical teams. Additionally, the Senior Client Partner, Strategic Accounts is well-versed in technologies and systems used in clinical research. This individual leads the development of Lightship design concepts, study assessments, pricing development, and continued client engagement once a program or study has launched to ensure, measure, and manage project success. The individual, as required by the business, leads strategic client accounts and relationships to identify, develop and grow business with pharmaceutical and biotech companies.

Given Lightship's distributed model and the remote nature of this position, the Senior Client Partner, Strategic Accounts must possess a willingness and desire to work independently without significant oversight. Lightship expects each individual to anchor their availability in the standard operating hours for their geographic location, however, true to our values of inclusion and flexibility, this role, along with all others at Lightship, may be asked to flex work hours to accommodate US West Coast, US East Coast, and UK-based time zones, based on business and/or patient needs. In practice, this may translate to days that have a slightly earlier start or evenings that have a slightly later end. Culturally, we aim to balance the ability to operate across time zones with respect for each individual's daily life. Additionally, this position will require significant travel for client visits and key meetings.

**Senior Client Partner, Strategic Accounts is responsible for**:

- Driving strategic client relationships from both a business and delivery perspective. Forging new relationships and developing existing relationships with Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and CROs
