Job summary

QP Group in Ireland is seeking a seasoned partnerships professional to own the data and R&D partnership lifecycle end to end. You will source data partnerships, manage approvals, and deliver collaborative projects across the data & R&D engines, while supporting commercial inputs in partnership with founders.

You will build an operating system for this function, ensuring timelines are met and communications are clear.

Qualifications

5+ years in pharma, CRO, clinical research, biobanking, tech transfer, or academic research operations.
Working familiarity with omics data and preclinical research language.

Responsibilities

Source new data partnerships: data vendors, biobanks, academic groups, funded consortia — active at the top of the funnel, not just warm leads.
Own approvals and contracting: NDAs, ethics submissions, institutional approvals, data transfer, technical and IP agreements.
Manage research collaboration deliverables end to end, including grant timelines and attached publications.
Coordinate biological sample logistics and chain of custody across biobanks, CROs and wet labs.
Own timelines across both partnership engines, translating signed commitments into dated technical obligations.
Protect technical capacity — engineers and scientists shouldn't chase paperwork.
Build the operating system this function doesn't yet have: trackers, templates, reporting cadences.
