This role is designed as a high-growth commercial path, with opportunities to take ownership of strategic accounts and grow into senior partnerships as the business scales.

• Build trusted relationships with key stakeholders – including Medical Affairs, Market Access, Digital Health and Commercial leads - within strategic accounts including AstraZeneca, Merck, Lilly and J&J, while expanding into new pharma logos.
• Represent Qure.ai at industry conferences, customer meetings and life sciences events across the US - identifying new opportunities and converting engagements into qualified pipeline.
• Partner with the Senior Director, Life Sciences Partnerships to shape partnership strategies and commercial opportunities by translating Qure.ai's clinical and AI capabilities into compelling value propositions.
• Collaborate closely with the Strategy and Growth team to develop account plans, proposals, presentations, and commercial collateral that support successful customer engagements.
• Own the day-to-day commercial execution, including prospecting, outreach, meeting cadence, CRM management, follow-ups, forecasting, and pipeline reporting.
• Develop a strong understanding of priority disease areas, clinical workflows, and Qure.ai's AI solutions to engage credibly with physicians, scientists, and pharmaceutical stakeholders.
• Drive opportunities from initial engagement through contract execution, partnering with the Senior Director on commercial structuring, negotiations, and final approvals.
