About the Role

The Day to Day

Sales Execution — Research Business Lines (Primary)

Carry and deliver against an annual bookings and revenue target for Clinical Research and RWE services sold to pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners.

Build and maintain a qualified pipeline through prospecting, outbound targeting of sponsor teams (clinical development, medical affairs, HEOR/RWE, patient recruitment, data science, and neuroscience therapeutic area leadership), conference-based sourcing, and expansion within existing accounts.

Lead the full deal cycle — discovery, solutioning, proposal and SOW development, pricing, negotiation, and close — coordinating internal subject-matter experts as needed.

Develop account plans for priority sponsors, including stakeholder mapping across therapeutic areas and functions, and multi-year expansion paths from initial engagement to enterprise relationship.

Partner with clinical operations, data, and finance teams to scope engagements accurately and price them to protect margin and deliverability.

Maintain disciplined CRM hygiene, accurate forecasting, and clear pipeline reporting to the SVP and executive team.

Represent Synapticure at industry conferences, sponsor meetings, and partner forums.

In scope where appropriate: sales of Synapticure’s laboratory and diagnostic services, either standalone or as a component of broader research engagements.

Foundations, CROs, and the Broader Research Ecosystem

Build and manage relationships with research-granting and advocacy foundations as funders, co-sponsors, and collaborators on research programs and registries.

Identify and pursue grant-funded and foundation-sponsored research opportunities, coordinating internally on responses to RFPs, RFAs, and grant submissions.

Develop partnership and channel relationships with CROs — positioning Synapticure as a site network, patient-access partner, RWE data partner, or decentralized-trial delivery partner within sponsor programs.

Track the funding landscape across our disease areas to identify where Synapticure’s capabilities align with emerging research priorities.

Product Strategy and Formulation for Research Services

Serve as the voice of the market in the design and refinement of Synapticure’s research offerings — translating sponsor and foundation requirements into service definitions, deliverables, and commercial models.

Partner with clinical, data, and product leadership to develop new research products and packaged offerings, including scope definition, pricing models, and go-to-market positioning.

Build and maintain sales-enabling assets: capability decks, service one-pagers, case studies, proposal templates, and pricing frameworks.

Provide structured competitive and market intelligence on how sponsors are buying clinical research and RWE services, and where Synapticure is differentiated.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with clinical, operations, data, legal, and finance teams to ensure sold work is deliverable, contracted appropriately, and successfully transitioned to delivery.

Contribute to the Life Sciences team’s overall commercial strategy, target account prioritization, and annual planning.
