  • Lead quarterly business reviews with customers, providing insights on program impact, new product offerings, and pipeline review for future collaboration opportunities. 
  • Influence and work with cross-functional teams to support partnerships, including Neuroscience, Data Science, Data Engineering, Clinical Operations, Program Management, and the Leadership team. 
  • Expand and deepen existing customer relationships by demonstrating thought leadership and providing scientifically-grounded insights that help advance customers' clinical development initiatives. 
  • Lead complex negotiations that maximize value for both Beacon and its partners. 
  • Maintain and record business development activities in a CRM, and drive lead generation outreach efforts at existing customer key accounts. 
  • Option to support alliance management responsibilities with Clinical Research Organizations, establishing and fostering relationships with strategic partners. 
 
What you will bring:
  • 3+ years of experience in a quota carrying role, either in account management or business development, within the biopharmaceutical or clinical trials industry. 
  • 3+ years of experience in consulting with the biopharmaceutical industry, with preference for R&D, clinical development, or CROs 
  • Advanced degree (PhD, MD, or Master’s) in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or a related field. 
  • Strong scientific acumen, with experience working in neuroscience, clinical trials, or neurotechnology preferred. 
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills with a demonstrated ability to build trusted relationships with senior executives, scientists, and clinicians. 
  • Proven ability to lead and close complex deal negotiations, balancing short-term wins with long-term strategic growth. Ability to independently lead strategic discussions, negotiate contract renewals, and proactively problem-solve with customers. 
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity, identify growth opportunities, and drive commercial success in a developing market. 
  • Experience executing land-and-expand strategies, with a track record of increasing account revenue and driving long-term partnerships. 
  • Excellent presentation and communication skills, with the ability to build PowerPoint presentations and to translate complex scientific and technical concepts into clear, compelling value propositions 
  • Ability to use CRM tools (e.g., HubSpot) and experience tracking key account performance metrics. 
  • Willingness to travel as needed for customer meetings and industry events. 
  • Empathy for all stakeholders, including pharma customers, healthcare professionals, co-workers, and most of all patients 
The base salary range for this role is determined based on past experience, specific skills and qualifications. The base salary is one component of the total compensation package, which includes equity, PTO and other benefits.
 
At Beacon, we've found that cultural and scientific impact is driven most by those that lead by example. As such, we're always seeking new contributors whose work demonstrates an avid curiosity, a bias towards simplicity, an eye for composability, a self-service mindset, and - most of all - a deep empathy towards colleagues, stakeholders, users, and patients. We believe a diverse team builds more robust systems and achieves higher impact.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
