Contract BD – Regen Medicine
Contract BD Lead – Regenerative Medicine
Competitive rate (fractional)
6-month contract (6–12 months preferred)
Remote (US-based)
20–40 hrs/week
A wellfunded advanced manufacturing company working at the frontier of regenerative medicine is hiring a Contract BD Lead to convert warm scientific relationships into signed commercial agreements with Big Pharma, clinical biotech and CROs. The platform is differentiated, the technical story holds up under scrutiny and the market is early.
This isn’t a pipelinebuilding seat. The science is validated, the relationships exist and the CCO and CSO are already in the room. What’s missing is a closer to take those conversations through scoping, proposal, negotiation and signature. The company is explicit that it’s optimising for speed and buy signals over pipeline breadth.
What you’ll be doing
- Driving signed milestone agreements with Big PharmaR&D, clinical biotech and CRO targets within 90 days of start
- Owning the full commercial cycle from warm intro through scoping, proposal, negotiation and close, alongside the CCO
- Engaging VP Translational Science, SVP R&D and CSO-level buyers; navigating procurement and legal efficiently
- Getting supply contracts with tier-1 iPSC and organoid cell providers in motion
- Shaping outreach materials that survive pharma R&D scrutiny — data packages, one-pagers, pricing, value propositions
- Building and maintaining the competitive supplier catalogue with pricing benchmarks that ground the manufacturing story
- Identifying net-new opportunities across the organoid and iPSC ecosystem from partnership signals and R&D investment patterns
What you’ll need
- A live, open network at CSO and VP R&D level in Big Pharma or clinical biotech — warm, not cold
- Proven closing record on scientific/technical commercial deals, not just qualified pipeline
- Fluency in regenerative medicine, iPSC or organoid platforms — enough to hold a room of R&D scientists
- Comfort running procurement and legal processes end to end
- A 90-day mindset: this is measured on signatures, not activity
Nice to have
- Co-marketing or co-development partnership experience with organoid platform companies and CROs
- Existing relationships with top-20 pharma R&D organisations
- Prior fractional or interim work — you land and add value fast
