Business Development Director

**Business Development Director M/F/D**

**DACH / Eastern EU Territory**

**Circa / From €100K + Package**

We are working with a global pharmaceutical company. They are seeking a Business Development Director for the Deutschland, Austria and Switzerland (DACH) region and also Eastern EU.

The role holder will provide a deep understanding of integrated drug discovery service business development, across multiple disease and modality areas.

**What you’ll do**:
You will be working on the commercial development and securing of business opportunities within the fine chemical and pharmaceutical markets, specific to small molecule discovery and integrated studies.

This will involve you building and continuing relationships with businesses and understanding their needs in fine chemical synthesis, and engaging them with the business as a service provider with integrated study and modality expertise, to hopefully havea seamless transition into IND submission for Investigational New Drug. At this point the company then has preclinical CRO services.

You will be enabling access to the above from clients who are seeking a one-team approach as opposed to using multiple companies working on inputs, project timelines and project costs. Our client does all of the above (and more) in-house which has significantbenefits across organisation, timescales and cost control.

The network development and capturing of business opportunities will be carried out in person and by your team, at events, meetings and conferences.

We anticipate the role holder will bring already a deep knowledge of the world of drug discovery and have a good presence/cache in the market for clients to easily engage with the business.

**Your background**:
We are seeking someone with a high level of experience in this market who will have worked in developing a good network of contacts and have a strong understanding of the way that business development in this discovery chemistry operates.

On this occasion, LiCa Scientific is acting as an employment agency.
